Common As Muck!

Roy Chubby Brown

Abandoned by his mother when he was just nine years old by the time Royston Vasey was nineteen he had been married divorced had two children spent two years in Borstal and several months in prison and had been shot at in the Merchant Navy. By the time he was thirty-five he was one of Britain's most successful comics playing live to half a million fans a year as Roy 'Chubby' Brown.
In COMMON AS MUCK he tells his incredible story. Frank funny and - perhaps unexpectedly - often moving it is a tale of a man battling to escape his background and become a star. From his impossibly deprived childhood to his controversial comic persona to his more recent battle against throat cancer Roy 'Chubby' Brown's life is as remarkable and fascinating as the man himself.>
