Transworld is to publish Glutton: The Multi-Course Life of A Very Greedy Boy by award-winning comedian, Off Menu podcast host and Great British Menu judge, Ed Gamble. 

Gamble is one of the biggest stars on the UK comedy scene. Co-creator with James Acaster of the smash-hit Off Menu podcast, which has been downloaded over 131 million times, he is a panel show regular, Taskmaster champion, and part-time Pointless host. His latest tour, Electric, has been twice extended due to overwhelming demand. 

In Glutton, Gamble explores his life-long passion for food. With his trademark humour, he shares the standout moments from a life often guided by his insatiable appetite. From the tyranny of ‘children’s food’ to his ‘fat teenage years’, to the trials of being a diabetic with a sweet tooth and his own mishaps in the kitchen, he delivers a hilarious and heart-warming memoir of a delightful obsession.

Henry Vines acquired world rights from James Taylor at Avalon.

Vines said: ‘Glutton is a very personal celebration of the joy of food, from a potato smiley to a Michelin starred tasting menu, delivered with lashings of humour. Anyone who has enjoyed Ed’s brilliant judging observations on Great British Menu or wished they could get a table at Off Menu’s dream restaurant will devour this book. It will make you laugh, it might make you cry, and it will definitely make you very hungry.’

Gamble said: ‘Somehow I have found time in between meals to write a book about food. Eating is my one true love (apologies, wife) and I’m very excited that I get to share that passion with you, the money spending general public.’

Glutton by Ed Gamble will be published in hardback, ebook and audio in October 2023. Pre-order here.
