Description

In their own distinctively p language, Paul O'Grady traces the hilarious stories of life in Irish Catholic Birkenhead that got him from the virtuous ceremony-child ("my first pull") to Britain's best-loved performer. It is a lifestyle which includes, varyingly, stints within an abbatoir, like a social worker, in a higher-school Mayfair brothel, and walking down seriously to London to pursue his dreams. By 23, John O'Grady have been a spouse, dad, drag king, homosexual enthusiast, divorcee, and degenerate. He made it happen all with a grin on his face, creating a mental note to join up the whip-clever one-liners that will later tell his celebrity-studded route in the edges of humor for the center of the British business, first as their own amazing comic design Lily Savage, subsequently, triumphantly, as herself.
