…Sorry, what were we saying, again?

Ah yes – Easily Distracted, the long awaited autobiography from Steve Coogan is available to buy now.

Telling Steve’s story from his early days in Manchester, the book navigates through his impressive career across Spitting Image, On The Hour, The Day Today, Coogan’s Run and beyond, through to the present day and his Oscar-nominated turn in Philomena.

Once a regular fixture in the UK tabloids, Steve is also one of the founders of the seminal Baby Cow Productions, which has been responsible for the likes of The Mighty Boosh, Gavin and Stacy and Hunderby to name but a few.

Now at last, Coogan lifts the lid on the real Steve Coogan, writing with his distinctive humour and an unexpected candour about a noisy childhood surrounded by foster kids, his attention-seeking teenage years and his emergence as a household name with the birth of Alan Partridge.

It’s essential reading for any comedy lover, and the good news is there are a number of ways for you to indulge. The book is available in Hardback and oversized paperback formats in all good book stores, as well as via Kindle and iTunes. There’s also an audio version on cd and download, narrated by the man himself. For most of these at your fingertips, we recommend you hop on over to Amazon now.

In the meantime you can see a video made by Dave Lambert in which Coogan meets Coogan, below.
