This book is about the real me,Michael Pennington,looking back and trying to find the source of what you think you know and (hopefully) love about Johnny.From BBC Dickens adaptations to 'Benidorm' and
'Ideal' to the PG Tips TV adverts,Johnny Vegas has become one of Britain's best- loved comic actors.
But before he'd ever drunk tea with a knitted monkey or made himself the
exception that proves the rule in terms of the predictability of TV panel show regulars,Johnny Vegas was perhaps the most fearlessly confessional stand-up comdeian this country has ever produced.
Johnny Vegas started life by the name of Michael Pennington and lived in St Helens,Lancashire.Growing up he entered (and dropped out of) seminary school, trained as a potter and worked as a barman.
In 1996,Pennington made his TV debut as a contestant on 'Win,Lose or Draw'.On air he stated that he wanted to be a comedian with the stage name 'Johnny Vegas'.A year later,in 1997,he was nominated for the Edinburgh Festival's prestigious Perrier Award - and the rest is history.
Since April 2013,and again in March 2015,
and again in this year too,the UK Post Office has increased it's Pricing in Proportion template,altering its weight allowances,dimensions and lowered its qualifying compensation rates too!
