Thatcher stole my trousers
Sayle, Alexei2016
Book
In 1971 comedians on the working men's club circuit imagined that they would be free to go on telling their tired, racist, misogynistic gags forever, but a 19-year-old Marxist art student with a bizarre concern for the health of British manufacturing was slowly coming to meet them. Through the next decade Alexei Sayle would be a student at Chelsea Art School, a clerk in a DHSS office, one of London's bottom ten freelance illustrators, a school dinner lady and a college lecturer, before he became the original MC of the Comedy Store. 'Thatcher Stole My Trousers' is the story of Alexei's rise to fame.
