Best known as one of the stars of the Fast Show (where he played characters such as Dave Angel -- Eco-Warrior, Tommy Cockles & Competitive Dad) & Bellamy's People co-starring Paul Whitehouse, Simon Day tells the shocking, sometimes sad & hilariously funny story of his life so far. Simon Day's memoir is a story of unlikely successes & secret lives. In the early 1980s he was a petty thief living rough in South East London & stealing whatever he could to fund an addiction to fruit machines. He was arrested & sentenced to borstal. Simon's memoir tells the story of how this nice, middle-class boy from the suburbs -- a self-confessed 'crap criminal' -- served time with the professionals & hard-cases in a jail fiercely divided along racial lines during the height of the 1981 riots. It moves on to the lucky breaks, the talent getting recognised, the 'redemption' of his years as a celebrity.. .with the parallel story of his addiction which -- with money & success -- became fuelled by drugs. Dark & dramatic, Simon Day's memoir is a laugh-out-loud-funny story of drugs, crime & comedy. ...
