In conversation with a very special guest, Daisy will share a myriad of tales; from auditioning to be a stripper and being laughed off stage by a bunch of topless dancers, spending her student loan on a penthouse suite and facing expulsion from drama school, along with behind-the-scenes anecdotes from creating and filming her BAFTA-winning show.

Cooper remains an absurdly brilliant comic performer who is capable of heartbreaking moments of vulnerability, as she showed in This Country. Hizli is an equally fine actor and carries the dramatic scenes particularly well, where Cooper seems less comfortable. And what a gift they have in 13-year-old Rush, who has the comic chops and emotional range of an actor twice his age and the kind of chemistry with Cooper that is an absolute joy to watch. I started writing. Just to make Charlie laugh, I created a character called Kerry. She was like so many girls from around where we lived, and inspired by the school bullies from when I was at Deer Park secondary. She was oafish and selfish, but underneath it all she had a big heart. We started filming two-minute sketches. The videos got zero views on YouTube, but Charlie and I pissed ourselves Life hasn't always been straightforward for Daisy: growing up in rural poverty in Gloucestershire with her brother Chaz, she had to work a myriad of low-paid and unrewarding jobs just to make ends meet. But with the assurance from her Mum that the worst experiences make the most entertaining stories, Daisy stashed away her most humiliating and ridiculous incidents to be revealed in her first memoir, and now, live on stage.
In 1981, #MeToo wasn’t a thing, up-skirting wasn’t a crime and off-skirting, far from being recognised as emblematic of patriarchal commodification of women’s bodies, helped Britain win Eurovision for the last but one time.

Michael Sleggs as Michael "Slugs" Slugette (series 1–2). A quiet young man who has terminal cancer. Despite his tragic circumstances, Kerry and Kurtan show no interest in being friends with him because he is "annoying" and do their utmost to avoid becoming too friendly with him. Some of the stories have already been aired. Cooper is a regular on comedy shows, and her episodes are usually must-sees. On Would I Lie to You?, she told a true story about slipping crushed-up sleeping pills into her parents’ drinks so she could sneak her teenage boyfriend into the house. She went viral in 2017, when This Country was new, for telling Romesh Ranganathan about the time she accidentally auditioned to be a stripper. Although she warns Ranganathan that it is hard for her to talk about it, she can barely breathe for laughing, as the horrors of her disastrous attempts at pole-dancing become clear. In the book, the same anecdote is obviously painful. Ashley McGuire as Mandy Harris. Known as 'Big Mandy' to some, she is a woman in the village who has a thuggish, rough-looking appearance and a somewhat unsettling presence. As a result of this, she is the only person in the village that Kerry and Kurtan genuinely find intimidating, though it is never certain as to whether she intends to be a bully to people or is in fact just misunderstood as being as such. She has a brash manner of speaking and tells anecdotes in which she has committed acts of violence or other forms of crime, such as the time she stalked Hannah Spearritt from S Club 7 for three or four years. Though Kerry and Kurtan are conflicted as to whether they believe anything she says, this nonetheless gives her the air of a criminal which causes them to label her a 'psychopath'. She often pursues creative endeavours, such as becoming a tattoo artist and joining the village book club to showcase her creative writing skills, but her efforts are often laughably poor as she is shown to possess very little creative talent.Now, aged 35, Cooper is a star. Post-This Country, she has continued acting and writing, is a reliable regular on comedy panel shows, and is huge on social media for posting short clips, which range from the homely to the surreal. Now, she is about to release her autobiography. Unsurprisingly, it’s hilarious. More of a surprise is how tough a road she had to travel to get here. Thank goodness for gloriously silly Daisy May Cooper. Joyful, irreverent and totally uplifting' THE TIMES The series was filmed on location in and around the small town of Northleach, Gloucestershire. Daisy Cooper said: "All the material is based around stuff that happens in Cirencester, but when we went to the channel they thought that Cirencester was a bit too big and Northleach is a smaller village, and sort of isolates the characters a bit more. Makes them more claustrophobic." [3] The location used for exterior shots of Kerry's house is at 16 Fortey Road, Northleach.

Then, one day, I received a message from a production company in London. In that moment, all the shitty jobs I’d ever done paled into insignificance. This was it!

Retrieved 6 March 2017. By the end of the second episode I’m acclimatised. Fully invested in the resilience and brilliance of Costello, Selby’s razor wit, his monstrous mother Allegra (Anna Chancellor, on killer form), and the glorious Gloria (Ronke Adekoluejo) who works in her dad’s funeral parlour where she’s been known to take the occasional selfie with a “hot dead guy”. By the time Gloria is describing “the four whores of the apocalypse” to Iris as “Moll Flanders: official whore. Divine Brown: iconic whore. Julia Roberts: made every girl want to be one. And Billie Piper: ITV whore,” I am laughing my head off. As would Piper and Lucy Prebble, as Rain Dogs shares some of the brutal, surreal horror of their show, I Hate Suzie.The format persists with, and I say this through gritted teeth, old favourites such as the intros round and the one where contestants have to sing the next line to an, open quotation marks, well known, close quotation marks, song. What comes after “I believe it’s meant to be darlin’ – I watch you when you’re sleeping’”? “ I’m a dirty old man?” suggested Nish Kumar, sensibly. The correct answer was “You belong with me,” and the song is Eternal Flame by the Bangles. Or as the kids call them, The What Now? The vicar promotes Kerry to the leader of the church harvest, while Kurtan prepares to move into a new flat. The vicar decides to leave to run a parish in Bristol, and Kerry and Kurtan bid an emotional goodbye to him.
