Publisher's Synopsis
From Shaun Micallef, beloved host of ABC TV's news satire Mad as Hell, comes 'Tripping Over Myself' - an insightful and funny memoir about comedy and life that takes us through uncharted waters to unexpected places. Comedy has been Shaun's escape, his guiding light, his refuge, his passport, his lifebuoy, his drug, his mask, his means, his end, his lingua franca, his Self. But it's not everything. From his early years as a gangly, bespectacled nerd in suburban Adelaide to the giddy heights of national TV stardom, Shaun regales us with his experiences and his continuous reinvention through humour with - well, humour.
