Kathy Burke is one of Britains most distinctive voices. Even as a fearless kid in Islington, she did things her own way roaming the estate that raised her to find her own path. A place at the Anna Scher Theatre in her teens changed the course of her life, and she found unimaginable success as an actress and writer and national fame. But the rare gift that has always set her apart, beyond the stage or screen, is her ability to see the truth and tell it like it is.
This spellbinding memoir is not just Kathys story, but the story of her class, her gender and her time.
A Mind of My Own is funny, profound and deeply entertaining.
This is a book about being raised as a feral, motherless child starting work at 17 immortalising several of this countrys most endearing catchphrases triumphing at Cannes being told youre a genius by Peter Cook and, at one party, accidentally taking some of Shaun Ryders crack, then attempting to set fire to a womans arse Caitlin Moran, Times Magazine
Glorious, very funny and no-nonsense, just like Kathy Burke Jo Brand
