Book description
Graham Norton, whose impish charm and quick wit has earned him a place
in our hearts, looks back at his life so far. In his own words, SO ME is
'a real romp through a journey from living in a cockroach-infested
council flat in Hackney to buying Claudia Schiffer's townhouse in
Manhattan, from my mother dragging me to school to me dragging her to
Sharon Stone's house for New Year's brunch'.
From a not-so miserable Irish childhood to dropping out of Cork
University and joining a commune of hippies in San Francisco, from his
disastrous attempts at becoming a serious actor to the rise of his
comedy career in London, this is a hilarious, insightful and moving
account of a colourful life. Born in 1963, Graham Norton was brought
up in County Cork, Ireland. He first ventured into the world of comedy
in the early 90s, and was nominated for the prized Perrier award in
1997, when he also appeared as Father Noel Furlong (the happiest,
clappiest, campest priest) in 'Father Ted'. He then got his first TV
break on Channel 5's 'Bring Me the Head of Light Entertainment'. In May
2000, he received the Bafta award for Best Entertainment performance for
'So Graham Norton'. His show, 'V Graham Norton' was on 5 times a week
with 3 million viewers a night and his latest chat show regular receives
over 5 million viewers.
