It’s also a book about the joys of going off topic and letting your mind wander. And it’s about a short, hairy, frequently confused man called Adam Buxton. In Ramble Book, Adam Buxton takes us on a journey through comedy and grief, weaving a biography that is as much about bereavement as it is about relationships. It's a best in class entertainment, an autobiography that is as much about the arts as it is about humour. For fans of Michael Palin (Erebus), Richard Ayoade (Ayoade on Ayoade), David Sedaris (Happy-Go-Lucky), James Acaster (Perfect Sound Whatever), and Jon Ronson (Frank).
