Description 

"The Satsuma Complex" is a humorous and heartfelt autobiography written by Bob Mortimer, a renowned British comedian and television personality. In this captivating memoir, Mortimer takes readers on an entertaining journey through his life, filled with amusing anecdotes, personal reflections, and a unique perspective on his experiences.

Mortimer begins by delving into his childhood, growing up in the industrial town of Middlesbrough, England. He shares endearing stories of his family, highlighting his close bond with his father and the influence they had on each other's sense of humor. The author's love for comedy and performance shines through as he recalls his early passion for entertaining others and his initial steps into the world of comedy. 

And Away...: Bob Mortimer’s life was trundling along happily until suddenly in 2015 he was diagnosed with a heart condition that required immediate surgery and forced him to cancel an upcoming tour. The episode unnerved him, but forced him to reflect on his life so far. This is the framework for his hilarious and moving memoir, And Away…Although his childhood in Middlesbrough was normal on the surface, it was tinged by the loss of his dad, and his own various misadventures (now infamous from his appearances on Would I Lie to You?), from burning down the family home to starting a short-lived punk band called Dog Dirt.
