Our show on the radio has become cult listening, so people say, some even call it a religion. Every religion requires a book and this is ours. The Holy Vible. The PH balance to 2020 – 2021. When everything has gone crazy; what better read could there be than this (also available in audio format). Buy it here.
A complete guide to the hilariously niche and wonderfully obscure world of commercial digital indie radio’s most-unproducible hammer legends: Elis James and John Robins
Some people have said some very nice things about it:
Elis and John are my go-to place when I need a bloody good laugh. Properly funny! Sarah Millican
A brilliantly funny pair of rascals. This hilarious book is a perfect time out in a world gone crazy. Russell Howard
Elis and John have created the funniest, most original and hilariously personal radio show of the last decade. And now they have written the funniest, most original and hilariously personal book to match. Josh Widdicombe
In modern living’s quest for authenticity, Elis and John are the real deal. Theirs is a reconstructed version of masculinity that includes self-awareness, fallibility, bravery, kindness, intelligence, compassion, and, not least, humour * THE INDEPENDENT *
Comedians James and Robins have collaborated and assured readers that our obsessions are what make us – you may not have addressed a will to Brian May or cried watching Ronnie O’Sullivan make a 147, but you will have done something similar. If you’re looking for reassurance that weird is the way forward then this is the book to read. The success of The Elis James and John Robins Show on Radio X means their friendship, humour and pure madness has been reflected in their “Vible” for everyday life — Lucy Fisher * THE BIG ISSUE IN THE NORTH *
These good friends have parlayed their Radio X show into a hit tour, and now this book, in which they offer their version of the Bible. But a bible in the very loosest of senses, one worshipping snooker icon Ronnie O’Sullivan, spicy curries and, in Robins’ case, Queen’s back catalogue. The unapologetically Welsh James and the unashamedly obsessive Robins make a formidable double act, sometimes affectionate but mostly bickering like an elderly couple — Bruce Dessau * EVENING STANDARD *
