From a life in comedy to the Glitterball Trophy – Chris McCausland Tells All. ‘The thing about Chris is that he’s funnier than everybody else’ RICHARD OSMAN’Oh my God, so funny, so nostalgic. I loved it!’ ALAN CARR–Already one of the country’s best loved comedians, Chris McCausland’s participation on Strictly was a phenomenon. But how did the boy from Liverpool end up winning the hearts of the nation?This is his remarkable story, of a twenty-five-year journey through sight loss to blindness. Of the highs, the lows and the downright hilarious along the way. From being a lowlife conker dealer, and running his very own bootlegging empire (kind of) . . . to almost becoming a spy for MI5 (really) . . . And of how he dared himself to try stand-up comedy, and ended up being brilliant on all your favourite TV shows. Before, of course, he surprised himself, as well as everybody else, when he tried dancing on live TV in front of millions. Warm, honest, insightful and laugh-out-loud funny, this is the most likeable, cheering and uplifting book of the year!
