In his mid-twenties, Jimmy was bored, boring, unfulfilled and underachieving. He wasn't exactly depressed, but he was very sad. Think of a baby owl whose mum has recently died in a windmill accident. He was that sad. "Before & Laughter: The funniest man in the UK’s genuinely useful guide to life" tells the story of how Jimmy turned it around and got happy, through the redemptive power of d*ck jokes.
Because you might be interested in Jimmy's life but he's damn sure you're a lot more interested in your own, Before & Laughter is about both of you. But mainly him. It tells the story of Jimmy's life - the transformation from white-collar corporate drone to fake-toothed donkey-laugh plastic-haired comedy mannequin - while also explaining how to turn your own life around and become the you you've always dreamt of being.
Part 1 of the book is called "What Do You Want?", which this reading comes from, and is entitled "The Inevitable Car Carr Analogy"
