Amy Lamé's Mama Cass Family Singers

Direct from successful seasons at Edinburgh Fringe Festival and London’s SOHO Theatre, London-based American TV and radio personality Amy Lamé brings her acid-tongued wit and shocking revelations to Brisbane.

Amy Lamé was a chubby child star in a 60’s cover band. Touring with her dysfunctional siblings she had everything she ever wanted - fame, fortune and sandwiches. She lived the American dream until it turned around and bit her on the ass.

In this tragi-comic misremembered memoir featuring Amy’s own family in brilliantly off-the-wall interviews, Amy peels away the layers of her obscure past: Why were four fat kids made to sing? How did her family get so messed up? And did Mama Cass really die choking on a ham sandwich?

'Surreal and delightful.' The Guardian
