In this electrifying autobiography, Rik stands naked in front of his vast legions of fans and disciples and invites them to take communion with the blood he has spilled for them during his thirty year war on show business.He invented alternative comedy with The Young Ones, he brought down the Thatcher administration with The New Statesman and he changed the face of global culture with his masterpiece Bottom.

In 1998, he survived an assassination attempt and spent five days in a coma before he literally came back from the dead. Having completed countless phenomenal feature films, TV series, live extravaganzas and radio voice-overs since then, Rik Mayall is now poised on the brink of a whole new epoch-shattering revolution.For the first time ever, Rik reveals in print the deep inner truth behind his gargantuan ascent to the pinnacle of international light entertainment - the mental hospitals he has broken out of, the television executives he has assaulted, the drugs he has definitely not taken, the charities he has bankrupted, the countless pregnancies he has engendered, and so much more.

Lise Nørgaard lever sin alderdom, som hun har levet sit liv: engageret, forlystelsessyg og skarptseende. Hendes liv været præget af stort mod og stærke meninger, og i ”Fruen kommer i dag” ser hun sammen med Cecilie Frøkjær tilbage på sit liv, både det, der var engang, og det, der er nu – de sejre, hun fik, de fejl, hun begik, og de mennesker og begivenheder, der har været med til at forme hende. Usentimentalt og med stor humor – med det vid og bid, der har gjort Lise Nørgaard til en af de stemmer, mange holder af at høre.”Det vigtigste er vel at holde sig i cirkulation og ikke tro, at verden kommer til én, for det gør den ikke. ... Det kan altså ikke nytte noget, at man opgiver livet. Man bliver nødt til at hænge på.”
