Ed Gamble (1) (1986–)

Comedian Ed Gamble loves food so much that he has an entire podcast about it. This obsession started at a very young age, though it has taken various forms throughout his life. Complicating this love are both his Type-1 diabetes and major weight loss in his mid 20s.

A perfectly fine celebrity memoir from someone who is very boring (and he knows it). There’s no wacky exploits here except a young man eating multiple entire pizzas in a day. There’s a lot here that could be shame-y or show more triggering to eating disorders, particularly related to his weight loss, but he strikes a good balance by always reminding the reader that it’s basically random chance that allowed him to drastically change his body, not some kind of secret or radical deprivation. I do enjoy Ed’s comedy quite a lot, but I think he works best when he has someone to bounce off of. Thankfully this audiobook contains an exclusive conversation with his best friend, fellow comedian Nish Kumar, which is by far the best part. show less
