I Used to Say My Mother Was Shirley Bassey
Stephen K. Amos
The story of Stephen's chaotic upbringing in the carnival atmosphere of the late seventies and early eighties Growing up in a large Nigerian family in South London, Stephen K. Amos learnt early on to find the humour in every situation. Stephen describes his awkward beginnings as the only black kid in his class, where he told everyone his mum was Shirley Bassey to break the ice. Then, as a middle child in a large family, Stephen learnt stage presence by vying for attention and performing at family parties. Now a world-renowned comedian and performer, regularly selling out venues like the Hammersmith Apollo, Stephen looks back at his earlier life and the incidents which shaped him and continue to inspire his performances. Poignant, funny and with the narrative gift Stephen is famous for, I Used to Say My Mother was Shirley Bassey is a memoir of a life fitting in, standing out, and (almost) always laughing.
