I really enjoy autobiographies, and although I know who Pat Sharp is, I wasn't really familiar with his work, and therefore feel I didn't enjoy this book as much as I might have, I found the beginning of the book quite interesting, but after that I felt it fell a bit flat. It was sometimes funny, but often just silly. Not really for me :-(

I originally read about Re-run The Fun in an article from Huffpost in October and the idea made me laugh. The world needs such a bizarre yet endearing concept this year. It’s unique and full of so many 80’s & 90’s pop cultural references that it makes you feel nostalgic. Not only does it send up the formulaic celebratory memoirs but the randomness of Pat Sharp epic journey from mobile disco king to presenter icon extraordinaire will brighten any dull day. And anyone who says different is clearly jealous of his luxurious barnet.

I was pleased that I was approved for the audiobook version as I feel that hearing Pat Sharp read this made me enjoy it even more than if I had the print copy. Sometimes concept books can be too full of themselves so the overall joke doesn’t fully land but this one gets everything right. It’s funny because of the way it’s written and with the audiobook, Sharp does the narration with the straightest of faces. It was perfect for dipping in and out of and I think that it would make a great stocking filler gift in any format.
