A beloved star shares memories from a dazzling career—from Abigail’s Party to Gavin and Stacey—with humour, warmth and insight.
Out of Character is a superb memoir charting the long and wonderful journey from Abigail’s Party to Gavin and Stacey with stops in between as Mrs Bennet in Pride and Prejudice and Betty in Fat Friends. Raised in working class Liverpool, Alison survived drama school and attacks of the giggles onstage to become a great and versatile actress. From the nervy Mrs Bennet to the robo-dancing Pam-el-aah, she has proved herself again and again to be a comic actress of genius. This is a must-read memoir of a life in and out of character.
