From a life in comedy to the Glitterball Trophy – Chris McCausland Tells All. The perfect feel-good gift for fans of comedy and Strictly alike.
Already one of the country's best loved comedians, Chris McCausland's participation on Strictly was a phenomenon. But how did the boy from Liverpool end up winning the hearts of the nation?
This is his remarkable story, of a twenty-five-year journey through sight loss to blindness. Of the highs, the lows and the downright hilarious along the way.
From being a lowlife conker dealer, and running his very own bootlegging empire (kind of) . . . to almost becoming a spy for MI5 (really) . . .
And of how he dared himself to try stand-up comedy, and ended up being brilliant on all your favourite TV shows.
Before, of course, he surprised himself, as well as everybody else, when he tried dancing on live TV in front of millions.
Warm, honest, insightful and laugh-out-loud funny, this is the most likeable, cheering and uplifting book of the year!

Laugh out loud!
I have RP and can honestly say that I found this book relatable. Chris is truly an ambassador to what is possible. I found myself laughing out loud on the bus. While my Guide Dog, Stanton, tapped my leg to check I hadn’t gone mad. I was laughing out loud on the train to Work.! my Guide dog rolling his eyes at me! I love the book so much I bought my wife and my coworker a copy too.
I don’t know how you read the book CHRIS that is a mystery to me.
Couldn't stop listening - loved it
Endearing, funny, interesting.. just so easy to listen to and feel so close to Chris. Recommend highly
Keep Laughing
Chris McCausland’s audiobook of his autobiography is absolutely incredible. The journey from his childhood to adulthood is filled with laughter, tears, and so much heart. What a story! Chris shows how blindness — and later, ADHD — have always been part of his life. Though it was difficult to come to terms with at first, he’s truly come out the other side, especially since his Strictly experience. Thank you, Chris, for sharing your story. I’m so proud of you and thrilled for everything you’ve achieved.
