Barrymore is a superstar of light entertainment who has nevertheless been dogged by an increasingly public drink and drugs problem. This is a rollercoaster of a life, told by a man who finally realised that he could no longer run away from himself.
Entertainer Michael Barrymore tells his own story, from a poverty-stricken upbringing with his drunk, gambling father and hard-working mother to his humble showbiz beginnings in a rock band called Fine China and as a down-trodden Butlin's Redcoat. He soeaks about his rise to stardom, his growing problem with alcohol, the doctor who warned him to face up to himself or he would be dead within a year, his very public 'coming out' after 21 years of marriage, and his time spent in rehab. Both funny and sad, this is a rollercoaster of a life told by a man who realised that the time had come to stop running away from himself. Michael Barrymore's shows include Barrymore, Michael Barrymore's My Kind of People, Michael Barrymore's Strike it Rich, Michael Barrymore's My Kind of Music and Kids Say the Funniest Things.
