Must Have GSOH

Description

To get the girl of his dreams he needs a good sense of humour. 

To get a good sense of humour he needs a miracle.

Stephen Gibson is a gifted young horticulturist. But surprisingly this isn’t the quality most women look for in a mate. According to all the ‘personals’, it’s GSOH . A good sense of humour. Trouble is, Stephen doesn’t have one. Not a trace!

Surely he can acquire a GSOH – and win the girl of his dreams. How hard can it be? He reckons the Killer Comedy Academy can teach him all he needs to know.

Yet it’s the person he least expects who shows him how he can really stand-up for himself.

Praise for Must Have GSOH:

‘The concept is brilliant: an insider’s guide to the business of making people laugh, wrapped up in a delightfully funny and uplifting love story.’

Stephen McCrum. BAFTA-winning comedy producer. Mrs Brown’s Boys. This Country

‘I laughed, I cried, I nearly took up gardening.’

Bill Dare, creator of Dead Ringers
