Mistakes, Mayhem, and Massive Twattery - Welcome to The Twat Files
When I was younger I wanted to be an interesting, sophisticated, semi-heroic, multi-layered person. But being an actual twat is much more the real me.

In The Twat Files I will tell you about all the times I've been a total and utter twat. The moments where I've misunderstood stuff and messed up. In my life these have been key because mistakes tell us about ourselves and others. They are hilarious and expose our flaws. They are gloriously human.

My hope is that these stories remind you of just what a massive twat you also are . . .

Critic reviews

Hilarious. The laughs and life lessons are ten-a-penny

It's charming and funny, a good reminder that nobody's perfect – and why would you want to be anyway?

Entertaining, endearing, tantalising. Fans of the national treasure will devour them

Hilarious and highly relatable. The perfect gift for anyone who loves a good laugh

Warm and sprinkled with celebrity stardust. Urges us to embrace our most embarrassing moments, instead of agonising over our humiliation.

These warts-and-all stories are as funny as you’d expect, as warm and supportive as you’d hope, and liberally sprinkled with celebrity stardust.

Praise for Dawn French (-)

Dawn French is a national treasure. Loyal, self-deprecating and garrulous, her stories make for entertaining reading. This is an original book, and will delight her fans and, indeed anyone with a sense of humour

This woman is a warm hug in human form, spreading joy in abundance. She is dazzling (Lorraine Kelly)

Fantastic, passionate, compassionate, so much wisdom, a lot of humour, very real and credible (Bernadine Evaristo)

Hillarious!

I loved how well Dawn read it. Every chapter was like attending her stage show!

Love Dawn, refreshing theme

The book is a balanced history of the adventures of Dawn French, the French & Saunders team, and relatable cringe-worthy personal disasters.

A total delight

Dawn is so entertaining, the stories recent deprecating and hilarious and relatable. And she performs them rather than reads them. Loved every second!
