Don’t Laugh, It’ll Only Encourage Her

Okay so, very recently, I’ve become a little bit of a book worm. I just love reading books, whether it’s a book about someone’s career and life, especially if it’s an artist I really love or whether it’s someone I have respect for. One of my favourite biographies is Don’t Laugh, It’ll Only Encourage Her. Don’t Laugh, It’ll Only Encourage Her is Daisy May Cooper’s memoir. I just really love her. You may know from the TV show called This Country. I’m absolutely obsessed with This Country, it’s one of my favourite shows of all time. She’s also been in other stuff too but This Country was her big break through project. I just think she’s amazing, she’s such an icon. I really loved her book. There’s some really funny and demented stories in here. To look at where she’s come from and where she is now, it’s so incredible, I find that really inspiring . You know, this is someone who jumped a lot of hurdles, went through ups and downs just to get to where she wanted to be in life, it’s so inspiring . Hard work got her here in the end, I love how she wasn’t a nepotism baby who got into the limelight just because she had a famous parent who had connections in the indestury unlike most young stars but with her, she tried so so hard to get there. I respect her for that. I had no idea about half the things she’s gone through. The fact that she’s still going is amazing . She must look back and think ” Thank god I didn’t give up ”. I’m just so proud of her and we don’t even know each other . I wish her and Charlie the very best in life, I’d love to see more of them, they’re brilliant .

Apart from the really funny stories, there are some really sad stories and the kinds of things she talks about just broke my heart. This book was so beautifully done. It was good that I read it about 10 or 20 times. My mum got a bit annoyed and she was like ” Come on, you need to read a different book now, you’ve read that one about 100 times now ” and I was like, I know but I love it too much I want to read it again, it’s been a real struggle.  Keep an eye out for all the really hilarious stories, they always crack me up. She talks about wanting to become a young actress and all the mishaps she had to go through to get what she wanted, it’s a beautifully crafted book. I would recommend this book. For those of you who follow Daisy May Cooper, This is a book you’d love to get your hands on. It was such a good read. I feel like it just helps me to understand her a bit better, this makes her journey so much more interesting . This was definetely the book that got me into reading biographies .

Also, fun fact, she wrote this book all by herself. It’s quite rare to see a famous person write their own biographies, most of them hire other people to write it for them. It’s really good to see someone write their own books. I don’t know if anyone else feels like this or I don’t know if it’s just something that I feel but it’s definetely something I love to see.

Okay, thank you so much for reading this post. This is also a book recommendation so if anyone likes Daisy May Cooper, I’d suggest this book, this is definetely something for die hard fans like me. It was a lot of fun to read, it’s great to see half of these experiences through her view point it makes you feel like you’re going on a journey with her. After all these knock backs, you finally get to see her succeed, and you’re like ” Yessss, she did it ”. This book just made me so happy .

And yes, I had to choose a photo of her in Task Master, haha enjoy.
