Playing Moldovans at Tennis
Tony Hawks, Ebury
From watching the England football team play a boring match
against the little known Eastern European state of Moldova,
comedian Tony Hawks found himself agreeing to a friend’s
bet that he couldn’t beat all eleven members of the
Moldovan football team at tennis. The loser would have
to strip naked on Balham High Road and sing the Moldovan
national anthem. So begins the author’s hilarious
travel adventure from England to Moldova to Tansnistria,
Northern Ireland and Israel as he sets about fulfilling his
bizarre quest.
Tony Hawks is a writer and comedian who regularly appears
on television, Have I Got News for You, If I Ruled
the World - and on radio, on Just a Minute, I’m
Sorry I Haven’t a Clue and The Newsquiz. His
first book, Round Ireland With a Fridge was a surreal
adventure prompted by a £100 bet. Tony Hawks lives
in London. |
