Praise for David Mitchell and Robert Webb: 'The new kings of comedy' Radio Times 'By far the funniest sketch show in ages ! fresh and full of invention' -- The Daily Telegraph 'Mitchell (the fat one who looks stuck-up and posh) and Webb (the thin one who looks selfish and stroppy) are talented writers and their current television series is genuinely worth staying in for. It's a reminder (for those who despair at the lame hamfistedness of Little Britain) that British comedians can be both funny and clever' Sunday Telegraph
Product Description
David Mitchell and Robert Webb have been hard at work cramming all the comic genius that marked their award-winning TV and radio shows into one very beautiful and very funny hardback book. Ted the snooker commentator's Hello Magazine photo shoot will be unveiled for the very first time, and expect guest appearances from Dr. Jonathan Miller and CSI's David Caruso. David and Rob have also unearthed Hitler's lost text messages and some notes Peter Mandelson left on his fridge. They will offer tips on surviving the credit crunch for all those that need them. Expect a board game put together by Sir Digby Chicken-Caesar, a guide to the cheeses of Saudi Arabia, and news of the ever-expanding range of Mitchell and Webb products. This Mitchell and Webb Book will be supported by a frankly enormous marketing budget and stunning publicity everywhere. This will be the best comedy book for a long time, not least because David and Robert have put every page together themselves.

Immensely enjoyable, July 18 2010
By Mezzo Mia - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: This Mitchell & Webb Book (Hardcover)
I found the book delightful. I particularly enjoyed the "How to Cope With..." chapters.Mitchell and Webb are clearly the brightest comedians of their generation. In the tradition of Monty Python, they have the ability to combine truth and nonsense in a way that consistently produces laughter. For those of us who appreciate a darker, more cerebral form of humour, Mitchell and Webb are a tonic against what is generally on offer.

Fun - but not as much as the show!, Jun 22 2010

This review is from: This Mitchell & Webb Book (Hardcover)
I found this show on BBC America by mistake, and loved it. Yes, Monty Python rears its silly head again and again (and again), but who cares? Nice to see it come back. Like Python the "skits" are not done like a Carol Burnett show, but with high production. A CSI (I hate those shows!) parody with cavemen, has the look of "Quest for Fire". A parody of 1700's sensibility is shot in one of the many amazing estates that dot England like Starbucks in the States. And the two guys are wonderful. In fact one reoccurring bit of a writer talking to a "creative" executive about his story is genius. So I was excited to get this book. The Monty Python books always seemed as good as the shows, why not this? And there are some good things. However, bottom line... it doesn't translate like Python. They don't have the graphic artist genius of Terry Gilliam for example to keep the style and feel of the show. And most of it, just isn't all that funny. But if you need a nice "bathroom" novel for yourself, and especially for the guest water closet, you could do worse!

Very Funny and Great Production, Feb 28 2011
By James Dawson - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: This Mitchell & Webb Book (Hardcover)
Not only is this book very funny, it is so "deluxe" that it's actually a lot BETTER made than I thought it would be! (How often can you say that about something you buy?) It's an oversize hardback that is "schoolbook style" -- meaning there is no paper dust jacket, because the art is printed directly on the glossy outer cover. Inside, the production is really lavish, with color and pix throughout -- even more elaborate than the great Monty Python books of yesteryear. Mitchell and Webb fans will love it!
