Well known from the Radio 4 comedy, Steve Delaney's cult character, Count Arthur Strong, is an ageing entertainer from Doncaster with a deluded sense of his own importance and a talent for mangling words. This memoir, presented as a typewritten script with the great man's own handwritten annotations, is a satire of British show business autobiographies, with stories of childhood struggles, national service, early theatrical breaks and celebrity anecdotes accompanied by the authors nonsensical thoughts and opinions. Off-mint.

Review:
I haven't read a funnier book all year ... If you like comedy based on misunderstandings, malapropisms, pomposity being pricked, impotent rants against stupid bureaucracy and just cleverly written, perfectly executed lines, then the Count is for you. (Paul Howard Irish Times)
Converts ... will relish the revelations about what made Strong the man, the legend, the sole proprietor of the Doncaster Academy of Performance he is ... rarely has genius appeared so human. (Mark Mason Spectator)
