About

'My name is Michael Pennington, and I am not a comic character. I'm often mistaken for one though. You might know him by another name. Johnny Vegas. 'Johnny Vegas has become one of Britain's best-loved comic actors, but before he'd ever drunk tea with a knitted monkey, he was perhaps the most fearlessly confessional stand-up comedian this country has ever produced. How did an eleven-year-old Catholic trainee priest from St Helens grow up to become the North West of England's answer to Lenny Bruce? That's just one of the many questions answered in this darkly hilarious tale of family, faith and the creative application of alcohol dependency.
