John O'Farrell's first book Things Can Only Get Better about his years spent helping the Labour Party lose elections at every level was a number one best-seller. Two decades later he published the sequel Things Can Only Get Worse. He has published five novels, including May Contain Nuts and The Man Who Forgot His Wife; two funny history books; plus three collections of his satirical columns from The Guardian. Formerly a comedy scriptwriter for shows such as Spitting Image and Have I Got News For You, he more recently co-wrote the movie Chicken Run 2, the Broadway musicals Something Rotten! and Mrs Doubtfire and the Old Vic production of Just For One Day - The Story of Live Aid.
