TedFest: Nothing but the Truth is the wildly entertaining true story behind TedFest, the  much-loved festival celebrating Channel 4's iconic sitcom Father Ted.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWritten by Peter  Philips, one of the festival's co-founders, the book charts how a Welsh  writer, an Irish filmmaker, and a succession of terrible ideas collided across Sri Lanka, Wales, Fargo, and the west coast of Ireland to create a  cultural phenomenon. Along the way, readers encounter real and faked  tsunamis, exploding generators, aggrieved Amtrak guards, political spats, pub  arguments, and a truly ridiculous plan to push a decrepit milk float around  Ireland for forty days and forty nights. Against all logic, it works. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTold  with razor-sharp humour, unexpected tenderness, and a deep affection for  glorious failure, TedFest: Nothing but the Truth is a celebration of friendship, chaos, civic stubbornness, and  the strange magic that happens when people commit wholeheartedly to something  utterly daft.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart memoir, part travelogue, and part love letter to Father Ted, festivals, pubs, and  joyful resistance, this is a book for comedy fans, festival-goers, and anyone  who believes that sometimes the silliest ideas are the most important ones.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57378180301174,"sku":"9781919633138","price":12.46,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_40178913_ed25c944-7bb4-4a99-a13b-19f21bd88090.jpg?v=1772661892","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781919633138-tedfest","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
