{"product_id":"tedfest-book-peter-philips-9781919633138","title":"TedFest","description":"What   begins with a hangover, a warm beer problem, and the small matter of a civil   war somehow ends with feral dogs, Elvis impersonators, Father Ted obsessives,   and the accidental invention of a festival that really shouldn’t work – but   spectacularly does. TedFest: Nothing but the Truth is the wildly entertaining true story behind TedFest, the   much-loved festival celebrating Channel 4’s iconic sitcom Father Ted.   Written by Peter   Philips, one of the festival’s co-founders, the book charts how a Welsh   writer, an Irish filmmaker, and a succession of terrible ideas collided   across Sri Lanka, Wales, Fargo, and the west coast of Ireland to create a   cultural phenomenon. Along the way, readers encounter real and faked   tsunamis, exploding generators, aggrieved Amtrak guards, political spats, pub   arguments, and a truly ridiculous plan to push a decrepit milk float around   Ireland for forty days and forty nights. Against all logic, it works.   Told   with razor-sharp humour, unexpected tenderness, and a deep affection for   glorious failure, TedFest: Nothing but the Truth is a celebration of friendship, chaos, civic stubbornness, and   the strange magic that happens when people commit wholeheartedly to something   utterly daft.   Part memoir, part travelogue, and part love letter to Father Ted, festivals, pubs, and   joyful resistance, this is a book for comedy fans, festival-goers, and anyone   who believes that sometimes the silliest ideas are the most important ones.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53182763958545,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53182763991313,"sku":"NGR9781919633138","price":19.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781919633138.jpg?v=1772275330","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/tedfest-book-peter-philips-9781919633138","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
