The Diary of a Nobody

'The Diary of a Nobody' is a satirical, slapstick comedy about a Victorian family trying to work their way up in society. With a pompous dad, an accident prone son and a story full of shenanigans, it's easy to see how it paved the way for sitcoms like 'Modern Family' and 'Schitts Creek'. Written by the brothers George and Weedon Grossmith, this is a raucous tale that gives a window to the great British serial comedy.

George and Weedon Grossmith were the sons of a court reporter, who was also a part-time stage entertainer. Although George started out as a reporter, both him and Weedon went on to work as entertainers on stage. After they both had successful careers as actors, comics and Weedon even having art exhibited at the Royal Academy, the pair combined their skills to write 'The Diary of a Nobody'.
