The Wanstead Tap Ltd

Join Larry Lamb at the Tap as part of his UK tour that sees him travel from Billericay in Essex to Barry Island in South Wales, in support of his debut novel, All Wrapped Up.The extensive tour itinerary gives a nod to Larry’s much-loved alter-ego, Mick Shipman, from the acclaimed sitcom Gavin &amp; Stacey, and will include festival appearances, book signings and ‘audience with’ events across the UK.Larry’s novel, All Wrapped Up is set amidst political turmoil on a Caribbean island. It follows the story of Killian Wilde, the first assistant director, who is determined to see his film through – if the chaos doesn’t consume them first. Between managing an impossible lead actor, navigating power struggles on and off set, and a crew member vanishing under mysterious circumstances, the production is at risk of falling apart.Blending sharp dialogue, rich behind-the-scenes detail, and the grit of a top-notch crew, All Wrapped Up is a compelling portrait of a non-blockbuster filmmaking under fire – where the real battle isn’t just on screen.Informed by his years of experience in film and television, Larry Lamb gives an inside look at the industry; the trials, tribulations, and hard-won successes of producing a piece of cinema.Larry Lamb said: “I’ve chosen to start my book tour in Billericay, and end in Barry Island, in tribute to the fans of Gavin and Stacey and the unwavering support that each of the local communities have shown us over the years.For the past 17 years, it’s been such an honour to play the ever-popular Mick Shipman, Gavin’s dad. Fans of the show often ask me what it’s like to work on a TV or film set – and I hope that my novel gives them a glimpse into that world.I can’t wait to hit the road and meet people across the country.
