Joe Wilkinson cover

Absurd, irreverent and occasionally poignant, The Entire Contents of My Head is the illustrated autobiography from one of the UK's most eccentric and endearing comedians.

‘Joyfully absurd and hilarious.’ ADAM KAY
'One of the funniest things I’ve ever read. It is brilliant.' CLAUDIA WINKLEMAN


Here before you is Joe Wilkinson's brilliantly absurd and utterly fictional account of his time on - and briefly off - planet Earth.

Through cartoon stories (illustrated by Henry Paker) Joe recounts the defining moments and bizarre encounters of his imaginary life – from his schoolboy misfortunes to his formative years on the dating scene, to his money-making schemes and globetrotting adventures.

With tall stories including…

-Winning ‘most nits’ at school
-That time I threw a turd into a tornado
-Becoming the bad boy of fly tipping
-The disastrous double date
-My car airbag addiction
-The time I tunnelled too far out of prison and ended up in the prison next door
-The real reason Bigfoot went into hiding


…this book is a delightfully absurd journey into the mind of a comic maverick.

Hilarious, heart-warming and utterly unique, Joe Wilkinson: My Autobiography is the off-the-wall life story of one of our most beloved and unorthodox comedians.

Joyfully absurd and hilarious. * Adam Kay *
One of the funniest things I’ve ever read. It is brilliant. * Claudia Winkleman *
Wilkinson has nothing of note to share * Broadway Baby *
