Critics Review
wildly entertaining– Daily Telegraph
For tasty gossip, Celia is the hottest ticket in town…The Happy Hoofer is backstage gossip from the premiere league. - Robert McCrum, Observer
From the moment where she finds herself on stage with scenery stuck to her cardigan, to the time she was kidnapped on her way to a location, she emerges with both her sense of humour and dignity in tact. - Good Housekeeping, Book of the MonthIf you’re anything like me, seeing Celia Imrie’s name flash onscreen inspires a sigh of relief. I think, “Class act. Everything’s going to be OK.” Her memoir, The Happy Hoofer, is every bit as assured and entertaining. It’s a lively romp populated by the entertainment world’s great, good, and downright naughty (often Imrie). - Scotsman MagazineHer new autobiography is full of drama… and obviously, from someone so closely associated with comedy, it’s extremely funny - Gay Timeswildly entertaining - Daily TelegraphAbout The Author
