Hitchhiking to London, she slips off-course into a Midlands “titty bar” adorned with a baroque human-sized birdcage stage, buzzing strip lights that judge you, stag parties dressed as Papa Smurf – and Garry, a sleazy casting man who swears he can make her a star.
Part confessional memoir, part riotous character comedy, this is a surreal plunge into Britain’s strip-club boom, 00s ladette culture, and the strange comfort of Sylvia Young – Randy’s guardian angel, who keeps dragging her back towards the light.
A darkly funny, glitter-stained confession about how far we’ll go in the name of fame and fortune.
