Reviews for Brung Up Proper: My Autobiography
He's blessed with the sort of laid back charm and sharp turn of phrase you can't manufacture
Daily Telegraph
Manford paints a warm picture of a chaotic poor-but-happy childhood filled with earthy characters, from an eccentric uncle to a big-hearted tart he met on his paper round
Evening Standard
One of the most consistently funny and effortlessly charming new comics around
Jonathan Ross Several instances are much less commonplace, no matter how matter-of-factly Manford relates them - such as the heroin addict uncle who used to crash on the family sofa. And there surely can't be many people who have a story about liberating a cooker from a murder victim's house ... The adventure is like a modern-day Laurel and Hardy sketch, though told with a mordant humour
Chortle
