Book Synopsis

''As hilarious and outrageous as you might expect'' Rosie Ramsey

''Funny. Poignant. Fascinating. Just the sort of hilarious, disrespectful, ribald book I love to get stuck into'' Jo Brand



****

How did little Jenny Hargreaves become Jenny Eclair and elbow her way into the male dominated world of 1980s stand-up?

Daughter of Major Derek Hargreaves (spy?) and June Hargreaves (spy''s wife?) sister of Sara (born to be Head Girl) and Ben (the usurper), Jenny''s comedy career took off via drama school, cider, sausage rolls, sleeping with men who looked like they lived under a carpet, punk poetry, anorexia, bedsit misery, waitressing and not really having a clue about anything.

This was a world before microphones, mobile phones, before everyone gave up smoking or started taking coke. Jenny Eclair was on the comedy circuit before there really was a comedy circuit and was the first woman to win the Perrier Award alo
