Twice Brightly Sir Harry Secombe's hilarious story of a young comic's first week in Variety - first published 25 years ago and long out of print -is a much sought after classic. Drawing strongly on his own experiences, Sir Harry has created a young comedian, Larry Gower, who finds himself contending with a fiercely hostile landlady, an autocratic stripper, a drunken lion-tamer, a spiteful theater manager, not to mention his own lack of confidence. This uproarious, bawdy and wonderfully inventive novel perfectly evokes a vanished world of variety showbiz. |
