This only covers Henry’s early life to roughly 1980, basically about growing up, his family and how he got into comedy. I listened to it on audiobook which he reads himself and he does a great job! Overall a great insight into his early life. ( )

This is a fascinating memoir, that seems to say as much implicitly in the way things are told, or through what‘s not said, as it does explicitly. Henry tells of growing up in 1960s Dudley, his early comedy experiences, New Faces, the Black & White Minstrels, Tiswas etc, interspersed with sections about people who influenced him and his career, photos and a few stories told in graphic form. I found it interesting that what must have been one of the most earth-shattering moments in his life is dealt with through the medium of the graphic, making it seem almost flippant, and yet it must surely have been a major influence in the constant feeling going through this book, from its very title - “Who am I?”. Or “who should I be for the people around me?” ( )
