Author: Helen Rutter
THE FUNNIEST BOY IN THE WORLD is the heartfelt sequel to The Boy Who Made Everyone Laugh, that explores fame, friendship, and staying true to yourself. Billy Plimpton is riding high after his stand-up success, and when famous comedian Leo Leggett takes him on as a sidekick, Billy’s life changes overnight.
A single tweet sends Billy viral, and suddenly he’s famous. School feels different, opportunities come flooding in, and he even appears on television. At first, it all feels like a dream come true. But as Billy spends more time in the spotlight, he begins to realise that not everyone has his best interests at heart—and that fame can come at a cost.
Helen Rutter writes with warmth, humour, and honesty, capturing both the excitement and the pressure of being in the public eye. The story balances laugh-out-loud moments with thoughtful questions about trust, confidence, and using your voice responsibly.
Perfect for readers who enjoy comedy with heart, The Funniest Boy in the World is an engaging and relatable read. It’s a story about knowing your worth, standing up for yourself, and remembering who you are - even when the whole world is watching.
