Since hearing Blessed on Richard Herring’s Leicester Square Theatre Podcast (RHLSTP!) I became somewhat obsessed with the man, and went & saw him live one evening in Bath, where I bought this book. A really unique character with a powerful grip on living life to the fullest.  It’s impossible to read without hearing it narrated in his voice – moreso because the style of the book is him recounting anecdotes – and you come away from it thinking “Well, if even half of that were true, it’s still pretty amazing stuff!”.  Too many wonderful moments to recap… although I was particularly fascinated by his relationships with other actors of the period.
