Amazon.com description: Product Description: I was shaken with spasms of helpless mirth at frequent intervals...Harry Secombe brings untold pleasure and laughter into the lives of those who pick up this most entertaining book PRINCE CHARLES
Sir Harry's classic story of a young comic's very first week in variety draws strongly on his own experiences. His hero, young comedian Larry Gower, finds himself contending with a fiercely hostile landlady, an autocratic stripper, a drunken lion-tamer, a spiteful theatre manager, not to mention his own lack of self-confidence. "If you please 'em here, you please 'em anywhere" is the proud boast of the Royalty Theatre where Larry is cutting his teeth, and he soon discovers that this is no idle claim.
