Andy Cameron is one of Scotland's best-loved comedians. He has appeared in countless television, theater, and cabaret shows during his 30 years in showbusiness and he never fails to reduce his audience to tears of laughter. Behind the jokes and smiles, however, is an amazing life story. Andy's mother abandoned him when she ran off with another man while his father was in Egypt during the Second World War. He was looked after by an elderly lady but was later found in a bombed-out building after one of the air raids of the Blitz. He started out on the comedy scene in the early '70s, and then worked his way through the Scottish social-club scene and up the cabaret tree to take his place in theatres and on our television screens in shows such as It's Andy Cameron, Andy Cameron Live and Shammy Dab. Wait 'Til You Hear This . . . is Andy's account of a remarkable life. From Blitz baby to bus driver and then comedy star, it has been a funny old life right from the start.

They say truth is stranger than fiction and if Mary Kelly's story was written as a piece of fiction, no one would believe it. This is the amazing life story of a woman who has triumphed over trauma and tragedy that has followed her every step of the way from childhood to old age. Mary re-lives a childhood during the years of rationing and the Second World War, fearing a violent father who once described her as nothing but a jinx on the family. But it has been Mary who has been jinxed all through her life. She tells how as a punishment for having the audacity to borrow a cup of sugar from a neighbor, her father cruelly shaved her hair off and made her go to school completely bald. But in the happier times there were summer Sundays camping out on the banks of the River Clyde and the street parties when a soldier, sailor or airman would come home safe from the war. And of course the mother of all street parties to celebrate VE Day in 1945. In her late teens and unmarried, Mary fell pregnant and was banished to the Highlands of Scotland to have her child so the neighbors wouldn't know she was having a baby. To escape the clutches of her father's tyranny, she agreed to marry a man she never really loved. The marriage was always doomed to failure and now with more children to look after, she often lived on the breadline, doing anything she could to give her kids a better life. This led her to becoming a secret topless model and the mistress of one of Scotland's most feared gangsters. Tragedy followed upon tragedy in Mary's life. Her son, Gordon was murdered and two years later, her youngest son, Mark hanged himself. But there have also been unexpected joys. In her often sad, sometimes amusing, but always heart-warming story, Mary Kelly tells how she found the courage to survive everything life threw at her—jinx or no jinx.
