About this listen

Narrated by the man himself and written in his unmistakable tone and style, Alan Partridge: Nomad is filled with all the joie de vivre you'd expect.

In Alan Partridge: Nomad, Alan dons his boots, windcheater and scarf and embarks on an odyssey through a place he once knew - it's called Britain - intent on completing a journey of immense personal significance.

Diarising his ramble in the form of a 'journey journal', Alan details the people and places he encounters, ruminates on matters large and small and, on a final leg fraught with danger, becomes not a man (because he was one to start off with) but a better, more inspiring example of a man.

Through witty vignettes, heavy essays and nod-inducing pieces of wisdom, Alan shines a light on the nooks of the nation and the crannies of himself, making this a biography that biographs the biographer while also biographing bits of Britain.

Very funny indeed. There are a few editing issues, which is a shame, but otherwise, very very funny.

Very funny!

If you like Partridge, you will enjoy this as much as a packet of Rolo’s!
Listened to the whole book within 3 days. However, not quite as enthralling as his other 2 books. This may be because the others are absolute genius!

Loved it... However

I guess most people you see walking on their own laughing to themselves would usually be avoided, but I realised after listening to this podcast that they are probably Alan Partridge fans listening to one of the podcasts! Not as immediate as from the Oasthouse but very dry and perceptive defying the PC nature of modern comedy. Good listen!

Good lighthearted stuff for Lockdown Walks

Had me giggling throughout.
Reviewed by random wafflebollox, something I and Alan do so well.

Review of Alan Partridge, Nomad

What made the experience of listening to Alan Partridge: Nomad the most enjoyable?

Nomad is a great light-heated listen. Alan’s, less than direct, nomadic trek in honor of his late father is full of his classic Partridge insight and observations. The limited plot means at a few points the story feels like its dragging, but for me this was far more than compensated by the regular one-liners that left me chuckling to myself like a lunatic on the train.

I would recommend Nomad but not quite as highly as Alan Partridge’s first book, I, Partridge, which is brilliant.

Amusing nonsense

Would you consider the audio edition of Alan Partridge: Nomad to be better than the print version?

Listening to Partridge talk makes it so much better than imagining his voice

What was one of the most memorable moments of Alan Partridge: Nomad?

His back and forth with Dawn (the early morning swimmer)

What does Alan Partridge bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

His personality

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

No

Ruddy brilliant!

It's not perfect Partridge but it is still better than the majority of comedy books.

So as partridge it is 8/10 but as compared to audiobooks it is 10/10
