About this listen

Inspired by the viral tweet: 'If I ever met Jürgen Klopp I'd say "omg if we have a baby we should call it Klipp" just so he'd raise an eyebrow at me and tell me I'm a moron and I'd be so naked by the time he'd finished doing that....'

In these uncertain times we all need a coping mechanism. And Laura Lexx has found the obvious one - imagining life married to the sensible, no-nonsense man of our dreams, Jürgen Klopp. She thinks maybe he has something to do with football? More importantly, he definitely knows how to efficiently stack a dishwasher and would tell you honestly if you were being unreasonable about a colleague.

From job interviews to furniture shopping in IKEA to making a birthday cake for their daughter, Klipp, Klopp Actually is a hilarious, warm and deeply silly diary of life with everyone's favourite baseball-cap-wearing, bespectacled German football manager.

'I shiver, my skin breaking out into tiny goosebumps. "Are you cold?" He whispers, his lips brushing my ear, making the fine hairs ripple. "A little." I grin, pressing against his thigh. He runs a hand down the curve of my spine.... "You should put a jumper on."'

Critic reviews

"I'd love to read a whole book of Laura's funny, clever, sweet imagination...it made me laugh a huge amount!" (Marian Keyes)

"Laura is so funny and I can't wait to read this book and I hope it isn't awkward when I actually marry Jürgen Klopp." (Sara Pascoe)

"It's rare to find brilliant new talent, rarer still to discover it on twitter but Laura's thread on Klopp was my highlight of the year. I cannot wait to see what she does in book form. I shall devour it. A great shining comedic talent." (Emma Kennedy)

Funny and well told. Perhaps aimed more at women. Enjoyable all the same. Nice and short.

This book is brilliant and laugh out loud funny!!! I am a Liverpool fan but even if I wasn't or knew nothing about football I would still love this book. It is expertly narrated by the author with impeccable comedy timing. I have over 50 audible books in my library and this is by far my favourite. I cannot recommend this enough, you will not regret buying or listening to this.

Hilarious!!! My favourite book on Audible ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I can't recommend highly enough. This book should be mined for readings at weddings. I wish it had been available when I got hitched.

Hilarious and strangely moving!

I followed the beginning of this on Twitter and I'm happy to report that the book lived up to expectations. Laura is all of us, her Jürgen is a brilliant example of healthy, well-balanced, executive function that we can only hope to have in our lives as partners or gift to ourselves and all with an impressive talent for keeping innuendo fresh.

Avoid actual footy & be entertained instead!

I downloaded this as an audio book to listen to in hospital with my sick child (who is well again now). Firstly, it had far too many laugh out loud moments for sitting in HDU, and making me look like I did not care. Secondly, for something so entertaining there are actually a lot of real life lessons included in it, whether on purpose or not, and at a time when we are all anxious and angry, it's a great time to pause for thought. Lastly, I hope to live my life now thinking WWKD (What Would Klopp Do). Thanks Laura Lexx for a little bit of brightness in a shady world!

Comedy, Life Lessons and a moral compass!
