Jonny Dee

These are only words - not necessarily in the right order

Jonny Dee is known inside the Colony as Jonny.

After playing guitar for a very long time in various bands I caught the writing bug. Much to my surprise, some success contributing to BBC radio sketch shows led to a comedy book being commissioned by a mainstream publisher.
Now, when not writing and (still) guitaring, I can be found on the golf course. Incidentally, I won't be wearing lime-green trousers, a pink diamond patterned jumper or tartan bunnet as I am not a character from a 1980s sitcom.

Secrets

1. I used to write jokes for Terry Wogan and BBC sketch shows.

2. I was once pressganged into a Morris Dance Set for a band tour of Germany. I am not proud of this.

3. C'mere, you won't believe it, but... no hang on. It's a big secret and I can't say anything about it. Erm... sorry.

If dark humour and crime is your thing. Then so is he.

Hilarious, biting satire on (recent) modern society

Funny, Poignant and utterly brilliant

I've read this book at least once every year from the time I was a mere stripling
