| book description |

â€˜Pacy, witty and affectionateâ€™ Guardian Rob Beckett never seems to fit in. At work, in the middle-class world of television and comedy, heâ€™s the laddy, cockney geezer but to his mates down the pub in south-east London, heâ€™s the theatrical one, a media luvvy. Even his wife and kids are posher than him. In this hilarious exploration of class, Rob tries to understand the life he lived growing up as a working-class kid in comparison to the life he lives now. Will he ever favour a craft beer over strong lager? When did it become normal for kids to eat sushi? Is he still working class? Why does he feel so embarrassed about success? And, will it ever be acceptable to serve pie mash on a wooden board? Tackling the questions big and small, A Class Act is a funny, candid, often moving account of what it feels like to be an outsider and why actually thatâ€™s the best (slightly awkward) place to be.
