An Unlikely Funeral by K. L. Smith – out now on Audible and iTunes

An Unlikely Funeral, my favourite comedy to date. Also quite terrifying, as the sequence of unfortunate events almost happened. Fortunately/unfortunately COVID 19 intervened and cancelled the funeral that may have inadvertently left to these events. To those of you who know me best, my life is far from normal at the best of times, let alone when under stress and duress! That’s when my comedic defense mechanism seems to kick in.

The audiobook – narrated by the fantastic Ink Arnadine, has come to life way better than I ever could have anticipated, and despite actually writing the thing, it still makes me belly laugh and snort in a manner that is most unbecoming lol.

Description

The hilarious new comedy from the author of Flight of the Cuckoo and The P**e in the Jam Tart

The newsreader took a breath and began:

–“And here we have the remarkable tale of local man George Pimpton who sadly died last week at the grand old age of 96. It’s only since his passing that locals have realised they had a reclusive celebrity in their midst. His story has captured the attention of the nation, and people are fascinated that such a man had been quietly living down an unassuming terraced street, keeping himself to himself. All week people have been coming out in droves to lay flowers outside of his house, and to give donations to his favourite charity – Guide Dogs For The Blind.”

The only problem was, this was all an accidental lie. George Pimpton was no celebrity. He’d never done anything remotely interesting with his life and had spent the last thirty years of his unremarkable existence laid in bed watching daytime Tv and picking at his bellybutton fluff.

Upon his death, his well intentioned – though often misguided – neighbours simply wanted to jazz up his obituary to make his life sound a little more interesting, a well meant gesture that quickly got drastically out of hand due to the perils of social media.

It didn’t take long before the celebrities starting coming out of the woodwork too with half-remembered stories about George. After all, anyone who was anyone, had a story to tell about old George.

‘My what remarkable new clothes the Emperor wore.’
