5.0 out of 5 stars a hidden gem, 26 Mar 2004
By 
tim speed-hopkins (solihull, west midlands) - See all my reviews
This review is from: When Will I be Famous? (Paperback)
why have I not heard more about this book? I came across it entirely by chance via the Chortle web-site as I am a comedy booker in Birmingham and got the impression the book covered new comedy acts. It doesn't, as it happens, but the small-time acts it does cover are brilliantly captured. I enjoyed the travel element too, especially the chapter about Scarborough, where I spent childhood holidays. All in all, an exceptionally funny book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Read, 30 Nov 2004
This review is from: When Will I be Famous? (Paperback)
Loved the book. I was the Blonde one in the Abbagirls and the memory of all those wonderful gigs (and the blue eyeshadow) is now forever in print! It was great to compare our lives on the road to that of Sticky Vicky!!! Very funny and very real. If you're in the entertainments business you MUST read this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars funny and affectionate survey of showbiz, 12 Dec 2003
This review is from: When Will I be Famous? (Paperback)
I work in show business, occasionally busking - last summer in Copenhagen - and am currently playing guitar in a Rolling Stones tribute band, so I have something of an insight into show biz, and Kelner gets it spot on, absolutely spot on. I would love to meet some of the characters in his book and share experiences. A fine book, which I enjoyed reading immensely.
