Alexei knew he was doomed to be different the day he was taken to see Sergei Eisentein's Alexander Nevsky instead of Walt Disney's Bambi. Born on the day that egg rationing came to an end, Alexei grew up with his parents and the Soviet Weekly. Each year they holidayed in Eastern Europe, where they were shown round locomotive factories and the sites of Nazi atrocities.

Very funny and (almost) stranger than Alexei's fiction, this is a memoir about how Liverpool, Communism, and a mother that his teachers were frightened of, made him want to leave home and make people laugh.

Great stories, especially of the author's family holidays behind the iron curtain. Really funny, especially when relating train journey and a disastrous trip to Paris in 1968. It is great to get an insight into how his early life shaped Alexei Sayle's comedy style of game him a wealth of unique material.

The voice of the author brings the story to life.
