Having worked herself up from the early days of seven-pounds-a-night comedy clubs, Dawn French is today the doyenne of British comedy. One half of one of the funniest and most successful comedy double acts of all time, French and Saunders, her brilliantly observed performances have won the hearts of millions and established her as a formidable comic talent in her own right.
Now the first biography of Dawn French tells the full remarkable story of her rise to fame, from childhood and her often unhappy boarding school days, through the terrible trauma of her father's death and on to her meeting with Jennifer Saunders, the early days of the "alternative comedy" circuit, her 18-year marriage to Lenny Henry and beyond.
