Synopsis

Trying to get your life together? Got three dead houseplants, no debit card, and an exploded yoghurt in your bag? Useful, funny and life-affirming, Nobody Panic is an instruction manual for anyone with absolutely no idea what they're doing.

From the creators of the critically acclaimed podcast comes a series of How To guides for everything from job interviews to leaving a WhatsApp group, from understanding the oven to dealing with your best friend's new (astoundingly dull) partner. There's also a poem about taxes.

Comedians and professional panickers Tessa Coates and Stevie Martin are here to help you learn from their many, many mistakes, and remind you that when it comes to life, we're all in this together - so nobody panic.

Praise for the podcast:

'Hilarious and brilliant' - Grazia

'Witty, smart and oh-so-relatable' - Evening Standard

'Jaunty' - The Times

I love the Nobody Panic podcast with comedians Stevie Martin and Tessa Coates and this book is really fun too.

Goodreads review by Jacqueline on August 18, 2022

Although intended as a self-help guide to dip in and out of, I couldn't help but read this book cover-to-cover! I found it extremely readable, with so many laugh-out-loud (and sometimes calamitous) anecdotes from Stevie and Tessa :) It was so reassuring to read that I am not alone in everything from......more
