At last something laugh-out-loud funny for girls in this hilarious new series from TV and radio comedy writing talent Nigel Smith.
The Most Embarrassing Dad in the World was embarrassing Nathalia even before she was born. He went and married Mum, didnt he Mums last name was De Montfort. Thanks to Dad she wasnt Nathalia De Montfort. She was Nathalia Bumole.
Its pronounced Bew-mowlay, Dad would tell her patiently, time and again. If anyone says differently, the jokes on them.
But as Nathalia knows only too well, the joke will not be on them. It will be on her. Massively.
If Nathalia can just keep The Most Embarrassing Dad In The World away from her new school, then maybe he wont ruin everything this time. Maybe.
Nigel Smith has been a journalist, busker, TV comedy producer and script writer, winning an award for his BBC 4 radio comedy, VENT, based on his own life-threatening brain illness. More importantly, he has been - and still is - an embarrassing Dad. Much like Natalia Botface, his three children are continually mortified by his ill-advised trousers, comedic hats, low quality jokes, poorly chosen motor vehicles, unique sense of direction and unfortunate ukulele playing. Unlike his hero Ivor Bumole, he doesnt write Christmas cracker jokes for a living. Yet.
