Items related to Nerd Do Well
Zombies in North London, death cults in the West Country, the engineering deck of the Enterprise: actor, comedian, writer and self proclaimed super geek Simon Pegg has been ploughing some bizarre furrows in recent times. Having blasted onto the small screen in the gut-busting and now legendary sitcom Spaced, his enduring appeal and rise to nation's favourite son status has been mercurial, meteoric, megatronic, but mostly just plain great.
From his childhood (and subsequently adult) obsession with science fiction, his enduring friendship with Nick Frost, and his forays into stand-up comedy which began with his regular Monday morning slot in front of his 12-year-old classmates Simon has always had a severe and dangerous case of the funnies.
So, sit back, relax, and let Simon Pegg and his faithful robotic butler Canterbury take you on a spectacular journey of self discovery. (Or, take this book to school and swap it for something cooler ...)
Dotted with a cast of memorable characters that have helped shape the life and career of a complex, dynamic and unstoppable man, Nerd Do Well is the joyous tale of a home-grown superstar and a local boy made good.

Review:
"hilarious, inventive and anarchic" (The Times)
"A beautifully written and very funny account of how a normal but very talented bloke who loves TV, comedy and films ended up a huge TV, comedy and film star. Truly heartwarming stuff" (heat)
"An enjoyable romp through Pegg's first stabs at comedy and theatre. And for fans of Spaced, his rant at George Lucas for messing up his Star Wars legacy will be worth the cover price alone" (News of the World)
"Extremely funny ... As charming as the man himself!" (Grazia)
"Fascinating ... an enjoyable read" (Observer)
