In this warts-and-all story, the star of the Australian production 'The Boy from Oz' and numerous other hit shows, holds nothing back!
Taking us from the time as a young boy in Western Australia when he met Queen Elizabeth, who told him as he stood among a line of girls that he 'rather stood out', to the tortuous years of striving to reach the top. He's known as the 'Honest Judge' when he appears on Dancing with the Stars (a Channel Seven Network hit) because he tells it as it is - and in this outrageously funny, dramatic and sometimes sad memoir, we begin to discover the real Todd McKenney.
We can laugh with him at stories such as the time he collapsed during a performance of Priscilla Queen of the Desert, only to come round to find himself being tended by a doctor/actor dressed as a giant emu in fishnet stockings and stilettos. Todd also takes us, for the first time, into his 'dark time' - a period he wished he could forget, but which haunts him to this day. But there's joy, too, as he tells in hilarious detail his angst and ultimate pleasure after he, an openly gay man, fathered a child with an actress. We share his highs and his supreme disappointments. Let the curtain come up on the life and times of Todd McKenney...
