About this listen
Comedians Elis James and John Robins have captured the hearts and minds of a generation, and it's time those hearts and minds had a book. Or an audiobook, that not only features extra nuggets and riffs that are too hot for the printed page, but also serves as an excellent showreel should you wish to book Elis or John for lucrative voice over work.
Elis and John met in 2005 performing stand-up comedy in a pub called The Yellow Kangaroo in Cardiff. They eyed each other suspiciously before Robins offered the limpest handshake in the history of the world.
'It was a power play,' says Robins. 'I may even have raised it for him to kiss.'
James expands: 'It was one of the weirdest things I'd ever experienced, but having known John now for over a decade, it was the tip of the iceberg. I can honestly say he's the oddest man I've ever met.'
Little did they know that ten years later they would be presenting a radio show together that would make them comedy royalty...
Ok, radio comedy royalty...Ok, commercial digital indie radio royalty...But with a podcast!
Now, The Elis James and John Robins' Show has become cult listening, and that cult has registered for charitable status, published quarterly accounts and been given a full blessing by the Archbishop of Broadcasting. It's official: Elis and John are a religion, and this book is their Holy Vible.
Have you ever failed to Keep It Session? Is your new flatmate a complete coin? Have you ever eaten Space Raiders on the toilet and written 'Grief Is Living' in your journal? Then this book is for you. If not, don't worry, it won't be long before you're making up games, looking at Freddie, or facing your own personal farthing-gate.
Our obsessions make us what we are, and though you may never have addressed a will to Brian May or cried watching Ronnie O' Sullivan make a 147, you'll have done something similar, and Elis and John are here to tell you that you're not weird, so come on in, and taste the vibe! Or should I say, READ the vibe!
Read by Elis and John, and featuring bonus material and an exclusive introduction.
Critic reviews
"Elis and John have created the funniest, most original and hilariously personal radio show of the last decade. Which is quite annoying for people like me who have also been trying to be funny on the radio in that time." (Josh Widdicombe)
"Elis and John are my go-to place when I need a bloody good laugh. Properly funny!" (Sarah Millican)
The chapters on Ronnie O’Sullivan and the Welsh language were exceptional. Buy it, listen to it and then download the pod casts from Radio X, listen to them, then taste the live vibe (go to a live show by either or both of them)

Very annoying that the book is, however, poorly edited. There are sections where one of the lads audio is missing so you have silent gaps. Hopefully the publisher can sort this and update the audio file.

There are plenty of the daft parts you would expect, Made Up Games, humblebrags, etc. but there are also thoughtful, funny, touching and wonderfully written chapters that give a little more background behind the passions the pair have often shared with their audience on their radio show and podcast over the last few years. Elis writing about his love of football or the Welsh language and John about mental health, Ronnie O'Sullivan and Zappa are all so well written. Who knew they were both such talented writers too?
Made me laugh out loud many times and I loved the extra chatty asides between them during and at the end of chapters. I was already a confirmed PCD but this audiobook was so much better than I was expecting.
