Excerpts

Have you ever wondered what the stars are like when they think nobody's paying attention?'Don't Laugh at Me, I'm Just the Driver' tells the story of Steve Evans, a man who has rubbed shoulders with some of the biggest names in Showbiz, including a fifteen-year friendship with his hero; comedy icon Sir Norman Wisdom. As a chauffeur to the stars, Steve has had to deal with his fair share of egos and recounts his experiences behind the wheel with fantastic frankness.Go green with envy at his chance meeting with a Hollywood heartthrob, gasp at his indiscretion with a well-known television antiques expert, cringe at his brush with a bad tempered Monkee and chortle at the mayhem caused by Sir Norman's perennial sense of mischief.But this is no ordinary tell-all tale of celebrity encounters. Steve has had to contend with considerable adversity to get where he is today; struggling with early fatherhood, family strife, sexual awakening, relationship turmoil and life-threatening illness along the way.Crammed with anecdotes, insights and the wit of Wisdom, 'Don't Laugh at Me, I'm Just the Driver' is a candid, poignant, uproarious tale of one man's journey from deepest, darkest Barnsley to mingling with the glitterati.
