THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 'Funny, forthright and sharp as a knife
. . . O'Grady writes just as he speaks.' Daily Mirror Lilian Maeve
Veronica Savage, international sex kitten, was born on the steps of
The Legs of Man public house, Lime Street, Liverpool on a
policeman's overcoat. Her mother, the lady wrestler Hell Cat
Savage, had no such luxuries as gas and air. She just bit down on
the policeman's torch and recovered afterwards at the bar with a
large pale ale... Paul O'Grady shot to fame via his brilliant comic
creation, the blonde bombsite Lily Savage. In the first two parts
of his bestselling and critically acclaimed autobiography, Paul
took us through his childhood in Birkenhead to his first, teetering
steps on stage. Now, in Still Standing, for the first time, he
brings us the no-holds-barred true story of Lily and the rocky road
to stardom... Paul pulls no punches in this tale of bar room
brawls, drunken escapades and liaisons dangereuses. And that's just
backstage at the Panto... Along the way, we stop off at some
extremely dodgy pubs and clubs, and meet a collection of exotic
characters who made the world a louder, brighter and more hilarious
place. From the chaos of the Toxteth riots and the Vauxhall Tavern
police raid, to the mystery of who shot Skippy and the great chip
pan fire of Victoria Mansions, Paul emerges shaken but not stirred.
Still Standing will make you laugh and make you cry. Some of the
stories might even make your hair curl. But it stands as a glorious
tribute to absent friends and to a world which has now all but
vanished. Readers love Still Standing: 'Paul makes you feel like
he's chatting to you as a friend. The stories are bold, honest,
sometimes hilarious, sometimes very sad.' ***** 'This had my
crying, nervous and laughing out loud. I would expect nothing less
from the fabulously honest Paul O'Grady.' ***** 'He writes as he
speaks, entirely from the heart . . . with his usual warmth, care,
concern and honesty, a brilliant read.' *****
