Actor and Writer

Funny, touching and a wonderful read! A well known master storyteller, Nick Ullett delivers a dramatic and inside look of two comedians from England coming to the very strange Land called America.

Trying to make it on the worlds largest stage, the story of two successful British comedians takes you on a a wild ride from the perspective of the performers. Their story is incredible…. It holds you, entertains you and takes the reader on an “inside” look at trying to Make it as entertainers!!!

Nicholas Ullett’s part true/part imagined book had me sitting alone in my reading chair howling with laughter until my daughter came upstairs to find out what was so damned funny. Ullett captures so well the bafflement of a naive young Englishman encountering the myriad varieties of American as the narrator and his partner perform their very British, very cultured comedy act. I laughed particularly hard at their session in Texas where the audience consists of rednecks who carry guns and who get pissed off at all the high-faulting language. The “charity” show they do for broken down veterans on a broken down ship is both funny, wrenching and touching. And the Catskills! I know those people! Beautifully observed. Beautifully written. And a great, good time. I highly recommend this book to anyone.

Nick Ullett is an amazingly hilarious comedian, and so is this novel.
Though it is fiction, it includes so many autobiographical details that will give you a real window in what it was like for Ullett to come over on a boat from England to America in the 1960s -- where he enters into (and dominates) the comedy scene.
A true and insightful peak into the New York City of that era, as this Brit encountered that city (and this nation) for the first time.
Delightful.
