The Funny Thing About Death

Product Information

Annie’s determination to live an original life, to never be boring, is contrasted against a childhood spent on cookie-cutter RAF bases and at convent school.

I respect Queenie as an old lady but I'm buggered if I'd curtsey to Kate Middleton or Prince William. I don't like starting the festival with a show I'm already fed up with, I want to look forward to doing it. My husband, who thankfully made it through his, and my cousin, who sadly lost her life before her time too.

These were also traits that she shared with their RAF officer father, whose class pretensions clashed with Annie’s renegade, bohemian affectations. Rather, there was incomprehension, some recrimination, reconciliation, secrets, lies, and a mutual refusal to let it dictate the course of their lives.

Kathy Burke and Jerome Flynn were at Annie’s house parties and the artist Bridget Riley was an employer who became a friend and mentor. Busy and deeply absorbed in all the complexity of life, Ruth Scott’s packed diary suddenly had to be cleared when she was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer.

One of my favourite comedians Jo Caulfield has written this beautifully funny and moving book which I loved! Their mutual love of the absurd and the irreverent stories they concoct together is a delight to read. The title derives from the stand-up "being the younger sister, I was always wearing Annie's old clothes" she told BCG. My guess is that every one of us would read The Funny Thing About Death and nod at so many moments that echo what we’ve gone through or are going through.It's weird and sometimes unnerving to grieve for someone who you see in your own face" Caulfield explains.
