Publisher Description
Julian Mann, the hard drinking, preening, and sexually provocative star of the TV sitcome Richard the Nerd, feels caught on the horns of a dilemma: should he be concentrating on his career, which is on the slide after an unseemly bout of fisticuffs at the BAFTA awards; or following his baser instincts and bedding every young girl in sight?
His twin dreams of comic immortality and a penthouse flat full of booze and young models seem to be frustrated by his wife and children; by Tom, his wife's best friend from university days, a pretentious 'National Theatre Player' who appears to be competing with Julian on the small sreen and in the bedroom; by the tax man, who's chasing him for sixty thousand pounds; and by Lillith, a psychotic fan, and member of a strange Herculean cult whose eight-year cycle of death and regeneration might augur Julian's imminent nemesis...

The Gobbler
Underestimated and overlooked this book is brilliant you will be crying with laughter, written by Adrian Edmundson back in 1995, I had the original signed copy as a birthday present which got taken away from me when I was at high school,
This book has slapstick chaos elements of Bottom mixed with the celeberity ego of Roger Mellie which blends perfectly with well written comic story by Adrian Edmundson, you can almost see the lead charactor as the ego of Rik Mayall.
In short this book is fantastic
