About this listen

Spectator World Book of the Year 2022

The heart-warming memoir from British jewellery and silverware designer, Theo Fennell.

From the depths of financial despair to the glittering celebrity world of the rich and famous, Theo Fennell's journey has been anything but predictable. With humour, candour and self-depreciation, Fennell charts the highs and lows of his remarkable career, from dealing with hardened criminals to designing for Elton John, Lady Gaga and Madonna.

Critic reviews

"There's no one quite like Theo Fennell. Relive the high spots of a life crowded, as Lady Bracknell would say, with incident. Our hero Theo, while without fail making an improbable and preposterous arse of himself in every direction, always manages somehow to emerge from each adventure ruefully triumphant. I ripped through I Fear For This Boy like a train, snorting with laughter and delight as I rattled along, pulled by the power of Fennell's unique story-telling genius.... I can't recommend the ride highly enough." (Stephen Fry)

"Fennell has produced one of the funniest books I have ever read. Utterly beguiling and superbly well-written, it will become a classic of the genre." (William Boyd)

"As funny as one of my books. I almost couldn't put it down. Theo's book is as funny as Theo - a rare achievement." (Barry Humphries)

Loved this audio book. Theo's dry delivery of hilarious episodes from his life so far makes for an excellent listen. I hope he writes some more and continues to be the narrator, which makes all the difference to an audio book. Thanks for sharing Theo!

Entertaining from start to finish - more please!

What a wonderful collection of anecdotes. So beautifully written - more than amusing, they are laugh out aloud guffawingly funny. And Theo has a gorgeous voice. What is more, he does all the other voices and accents perfectly. Makes you want to go on a night out with him, but if you could you would either not be able to remember it, or not be believed on recounting it. We must hope that Theo Fennell shares more of his experiences with us - another book please.

Theo Fennell’s tales of his high jinks in the world of jewelry and the various characters he meets along the way- had me in stitches from beginning to end- and massively improved
My mood on a recent stay in a Beijing Hospital- bravo- i wish I had led such a colour life- but without the need for funny underpants!

Loved every minute of it

So good! I've no idea how one person could get themselves into so many hilarious scrapes! Well done for surviving Theo!

Laugh out loud funny😂

I have to admit I had no idea who Theo was. Listening to his stories left me crying with laughter. His accent/ voice is a joy. His adventures, ridiculous !!! Thankfully he remembered them and you should listen to them.

This audio book has kept me company for numerous commutes to work.
Theo is an incredible story teller… I have cried with laughter in nearly every chapter (yes, I was that person on the train). Such wonderful accounts of Theo’s life. I knew nothing of Theo previously but now I’m wondering how I can make him be a permanent guest at our dinner table (somebody give him my number!).
I’m wondering what I will do now that I have finished this audio book… I may have to listen to it all over again.

I have never heard anything funnier!

I like the fact that the book was written and read by the author. Really funny stories and at the same time quite stressful as I personally can relate to them being a goldsmith running my own business.

Really interesting

This is very well read by Theo, who can do brilliant impersonations and keeps the pace going really well. The only chapter, which was tedious was the Star Wars one, for those of us not fans. Otherwise, a fun ride from start to finish!

Highly Entertaining!
