At My Mother's Knee... by Paul O'Grady (Hardcover, 2008)
In his own uniquely acid tongue, Paul O Grady traces the hilarious tales of life in Irish Catholic Birkenhead that took him from a virtuous altar-boy ( my first drag ) to Britain s best loved entertainer. It s a life that includes, varyingly, stints in an abbatoir, as a social worker, in a high-class Mayfair brothel and traipsing down to London to chase his dreams. By 23, Paul O Grady had been a father, husband, drag queen, gay lover, divorcee and degenerate. He did it all with a smile on his face, making a mental note to register the whip-smart one-liners that would later inform his star-studded path from the fringes of comedy to the heart of the British establishment, first as his own brilliant comic creation Lily Savage, then, triumphantly, as himself. aul s remarkable childhood and early life is littered with a dizzying cast-list of rogues, rascals, lovers, fighters, saints and sinners. Oh, and one iconic bus conductress. Told with pathos, love, empathy and, naturally, biting hum.
