Non-Fiction | Humor
The unique life story of one of the most talented and
inventive comedians, star of Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz,
and Star Trek. Zombies in North London, death cults in the West Country,
the engineering deck of the Enterprise: actor, comedian,
writer and self-proclaimed supergeek Simon Pegg has been
ploughing some bizarre furrows in recent times. Having
landed on the U.S. movie scene in the surprise cult hit
Shaun of the Dead, his enduring appeal and rise to movie
star with a dedicated following has been mercurial,
meteoric, megatronic, but mostly just plain great. From his childhood (and subsequently adult) obsession with
science fiction, his enduring friendship with Nick Frost,
and his forays into stand-up comedy which began with his
regular Monday morning slot in front of his twelve-year-old
classmates, Simon has always had a severe and dangerous case
of the funnies. Whether recounting his experience working as a lifeguard at
the city pool, going to Comic-Con for the first time and
confessing to Carrie Fisher that he used to kiss her picture
every night before he went to sleep, or meeting and working
with heroes that include Peter Jackson, Kevin Smith, and
Quentin Tarantino, Pegg offers a hilarious look at the
journey to becoming an international superstar, dotted with
a cast of memorable characters, and you're rooting for him
all the way.
