John O'Farrell's first book Things Can Only Get Better about his
years spent helping the Labour Party lose elections at every level
was a number one best-seller. Two decades later he published the
sequel Things Can Only Get Worse. In between his two comic memoirs,
he published five novels, including The Best A Man Can Get, May
Contain Nuts and The Man Who Forgot His Wife; two funny history
books (An Utterly Impartial History of Britain and its sequel) plus
three collections of his satirical columns from The Guardian.
His books have been translated into over thirty languages and
adapted for TV and radio. Formerly a comedy scriptwriter for shows
such as Spitting Image and Have I Got News For You, he more
recently co-wrote the movie Chicken Run 2, the Broadway musicals
Something Rotten! and Mrs Doubtfire and the forthcoming Just For
One Day - The Story of Live Aid, which opens at the Old Vic in
2024.
