Sunrise by Jessie Cave
An honest, tender-hearted and uproariously funny story from actress, comedian, writer and doodler Jessie Cave with colour illustrations throughout.
'Devastatingly honest, wickedly funny… Sunrise pitches us right into Cave's life, and her head' Guardian; 'An exquisite show from one of the more creative minds in comedy today… It is painfully funny, hilariously sad and makes oversharing a thing of comic geniusThere is no corner of Jessie's life into which her blindingly honest comic light does not shine' Scotsman 'Confessional comedy that is unstoppably amusing as well as compellingly complex… crammed full of telling details that are amusing, or painful, or more likely both at once, this is comic storytelling of the highest order' The Times: 'Not everyone can make heartbreak this entertaining… it's the little details that make this so special – revealing all the things she's secretly thinking, while we either empathise or wince in recognition. So open, so honest, so inspirational' ThreeWeeks; 'Emotional, occasionally filthy, and frequently very funny… it adds up to a rich tapestry which, while laying Cave bare, also has much to say about the double bind of being a modern woman – from balancing career and being a role model with having children, to dating, rejection and abuse. It's all done with the lightest of touches and enormous charm, and it confirms Cave as one of comedy's most compellingly unique voices' i
