A witty, insightful romantic comedy, which draws on the author s experience of the comedy world, working in radio, and being immature and childless! For fans of David Nicholls, Ben Elton and Nick Hornby. Dan McIntyre isn t ready to settle down. As a stand-up comedian with a career that s taking off, it was easy to walk away from his girlfriend s ultimatum comedy or kids. But now he's starting to feel like he's the last man standing while all his friends are switching socialising for baby wipes. Sure, his mates are still wide awake at 3am with a bottle in their hand but now it's for a very different reason. Dan reckons he spends enough time with spoiled brats in his day job wrangling a breakfast radio duo known as Bry Dynamite and Silly Sally. He can't understand why everyone's giving up their social lives for creatures who express themselves through loud, irritating noises and bodily fluids. But at least it's giving him material for a new comedy show, Man vs Child. Then Penny, the woman who broke his heart in high school, walks back into his life. She's newly single, and wants to reconnect with her old pal from French class except now she has a one-year-old son...
Man vs Child Dominic Knight 9781459669987 Books
This is an autobiography of Dominic Knight an Australian guy in his early 30s, who works at a radio station by day and follows his passion for stand up comedy by night.When Dom's friends pair up and start families he finds himself surrounded by couples with snotty nose kids and a totally different lifestyle which leads him into writing material for his Man Vs Child comedy skits. I think we've all been in that situation at some time or another, and for myself personally being childless I could really relate to Dom's thoughts and humour about parenthood. The story continually goes back to the internal debate of whether Dom wants to have kids, grow up, and stop being a kid himself.
Things start to change on the romance front when Dom runs into his high school sweetheart Penny who has a 1 year old son Lloyd. The more time Dom spends with them the more he realises the whole kid thing isn't so bad after all. There is a lot of vulnerability and understanding that comes from this part of the story and I really felt for Dom.
The insight into life at a radio station I found really interesting to know what happens behind the scenes with our on air celebrities. Same goes for the stand up comedy shows, of which I have been to quite a few and felt like I was sitting there with Dom at the cabaret table with a bottle of wine ready to laugh and encourage those brave enough to stand up on stage for the benefit of our entertainment.
The novel is written in a very simple and easy to follow style, the characters were described well and I felt like I knew them and could relate to them. Dom was like listening to a mate tell me funny stories or run down on conversations and things that happened, it was a very relaxed read. True to Dom's comedy background the novel was funny, witty, and very cheeky, I found myself grinning like an idiot on public transport on more than a few occasions.
I recommend this book to young Australians who would like to know a bit about Sydney's radio and comedy scene. I would also recommend it to men (and women) who are unsure if they want to start a family, it gives some great points from both sides of the fence but in a laid back approach so you don't feel like you're getting a lecture.
