The Elis James and John Robins' Show has become cult listening, and that cult has registered for charitable status, published quarterly accounts and been given a full blessing by the Archbishop of Broadcasting. It's official: Elis and John are a religion, and this book is their Holy Vible.
Have you ever failed to Keep It Session Is your new flatmate a complete coin Have you ever eaten Space Raiders on the toilet and written 'Grief Is Living' in your journal Then this book is for you. If not, don't worry, it won't be long before you're making up games, looking at Freddie, or facing your own personal farthing-gate. Our obsessions make us what we are, and though you may never have addressed a will to Brian May or cried watching Ronnie O' Sullivan make a 147, you'll have done something similar, and Elis and John are here to tell you that you're not weird, so come on in, and taste the vibe! Or should I say, READ the vibe!Elis and John are my go-to place when I need a bloody good laugh. Properly funny! Sarah Millican
A brilliantly funny pair of rascals. This hilarious book is a perfect time out in a world gone crazy. Russell HowardElis and John have created the funniest, most original and hilariously personal radio show of the last decade. Which is quite annoying for people like me who have also been trying to be funny on the radio in that time. Josh WiddicombeIn modern living's quest for authenticity, Elis and John are the real deal. Theirs is a reconstructed version of masculinity that includes self-awareness, fallibility, bravery, kindness, intelligence, compassion, and, not least, humour - THE INDEPENDENTThese good friends have parlayed their Radio X show into a hit tour, and now this book, in which they offertheir version of the Bible. But a bible in the very loosest of senses, one worshipping snooker icon RonnieO'Sullivan, spicy curries and, in Robins' case, Queen's back catalogue. The unapologetically Welsh Jamesand the unashamedly obsessive Robins make a formidable doubleact, sometimes affectionate but mostly bickering like an elderly couple - EVENING STANDARDElis James and John Robins are both successful comedians, and together host The Elis James and John Robins Show on Radio X. Over the course of more than two hundred shows, the warm dynamic of their genuine friendship has enabled them to find humour in even the darkest of moments.
