The Happy Hoofer by Celia Imrie
One of the nation's favourite comedy actresses - with starring roles in Calendar Girls, Acorn Antiques and Dinnerladies - tells her extraordinary and highly entertaining life story.
For tasty gossip, Celia is the hottest ticket in town..The Happy Hoofer is backstage gossip from the premiere league. * Robert McCrum, Observer *
From the moment where she finds herself on stage with scenery stuck to her cardigan, to the time she was kidnapped on her way to a location, she emerges with both her sense of humour and dignity in tact. * Good Housekeeping, Book of the Month *
If you're anything like me, seeing Celia Imrie's name flash onscreen inspires a sigh of relief. I think, "Class act. Everything's going to be OK." Her memoir, The Happy Hoofer, is every bit as assured and entertaining. It's a lively romp populated by the entertainment world's great, good, and downright naughty (often Imrie). * Scotsman Magazine *
Her new autobiography is full of drama... and obviously, from someone so closely associated with comedy, it's extremely funny * Gay Times *
wildly entertaining * Daily Telegraph *
