Simon Amstell, Church Organ Confession, Elbow Sensitivity

Comedian and writer Simon Amstell joins us in the studio to discuss his new book 'Help'.

Comedian and writer Simon Amstell joins us in the studio to discuss his new book 'Help'. 'Help' has been described as Simon's hilarious and heartbreaking account of his ongoing compulsion to reveal his entire self on stage. To tell the truth so it can't hurt him anymore. Loneliness, anxiety, depression - this book claims to have it all. And more.

From a complicated childhood in Essex to an Ayahuasca-led epiphany in the Amazon rainforest, this story will make you laugh, cry and then feel happier than you've ever been.

Simon is a comedian, screenwriter and director. 2017 so far has seen his first feature-length film, Carnage, and his latest stand-up tour, What is This?

He has previously written and starred in the television series Grandma's House, and his past stand-up tours include To Be Free, Numb and Do Nothing.
