Julian's Choice |
 |
|
Sue Lawley's castaway this week is the comedian Julian Clary.
Julian Clary brought camp out of the closet and into the TV mainstream. In the late eighties he burst onto television screens as The Joan Collins Fan Club, attracting a surprisingly broad audience with his extreme make-up and innuendo.
The son of a policeman and a probation officer, Julian was born and brought up in Teddington and Surbiton, and as a child was deeply religious. He discovered his comic talent at Goldsmith’s University in the late seventies where as well as taking part in rather serious drama productions, he and a friend created the duo Glad and May – two over-made-up cleaning ladies with a passion for ‘rummaging’ through the handbags of their hapless audience.
In recent years, Julian has toned down the make-up and innuendo in order to take on a new role – Julian Clary, family favourite, star of prime time. Where once he had cult status, he now has serious mainstream appeal, recently presenting the new National Lottery show on BBC1 and reaching the final of Strictly Come Dancing.
