Danny Wallace

Friends Like These

What happens if you find an old address book? And what happens if that addess book contains within it the names of your twelve best friends as a kid?

Danny Wallace is about to turn thirty, and his life has become a cliche… suddenly finding himself living in a smart new area of town, he’s swapped pints down the pub for lattes and brunch. He owns a shed. He has display cushions.

And then one day he finds that address book. And he starts to wonder where his childhood friends are now… and whether, if he tracked them down - wherever they are - and turned up on the doorstep… what they’d say if he asked them whether they were coming out to play…

Yes Man

Danny Wallace had been staying in. Far too much.

Dumped by his girlfriend, he really wasn’t doing the young, free and single thing very well at all. Instead, he was avoiding people. Texting instead of calling. Calling instead of meeting. Until one fateful night, when he hears the words that’ll change everything forever… “Say Yes More”…

And that’s exactly what Danny does. In fact, he says Yes to everything…

Now a major Warner Bros. film, starring Jim Carrey…

Danny Wallace and the Centre of the Universe

Danny Wallace wanted to write about a place so special and so crucial to our existence that it had never before been tackled: the Centre of the Universe.

But then, he realised that getting there might be a problem, and when he did, there’d probably be nothing much to write about.

Until he heard about a manhole cover, on a small street, in a small town, tucked away in a remote part of Idaho. The manhole cover had been declared the Centre of the Universe. The mayor had the science to back it up. The town rejoiced. And the name of the town? Wallace. It was a cosmic coincidence Danny couldn’t resist…

Join Me

The true story of a man who started a cult by accident…

What happens if you put an advert in a paper that says, simply, JOIN ME.

Would people join something, without knowing who they were joining, or what they were joining, or even what ‘joining’ was? Danny Wallace found out, and within months was the Leader of a global phenomenon… people placed their faith in their unknown Leader, and pretty soon it became clear he had to come up with something for everyone to do…

This is what happened.
