The Last Showman by Brophy, Fred
ISBN: 9780143572862 PUBLISHER: Penguin Books Australia FORMAT: Paperback PAGES: 320 PUBLICATION DATE: 1.02.2016 DIMENSIONS: 19.8 x 12.8 x 2.1 centimetres
DESCRIPTION: 'My life has been a mad travelling show, meeting some of the strangest and greatest people who've ever lived. I've had my fair share of trouble and I'm lucky to be here. But I've always been a showman and I've done my best to preserve a precious part of an old Australia that's fast disappearing.' Son of a sideshow operator and trapeze artist, fourth-generation showman Fred Brophy grew up on the road, travelling the length and breadth of Australia. He did time in jail as a wild teenager before establishing his own successful boxing tent. It has become a star attraction in the Outback and is now the only one of its kind in the world. Fred tells stories of living on the smell of an oily rag, rescuing battlers, and becoming embroiled in some of the most bizarre adventures imaginable. This is one helluva life, full of hardship, hilarity and unexpected turns, including Fred being inducted into the Queensland Boxing Hall of Fame and receiving a Medal of the Order of Australia. 'Now ladies and gentlemen, let's go inside. The show's about to begin ...' 'One of the wildest, funniest, most extraordinary Australian autobiographies you could ever squeeze into 300 pages.' R.M. Williams Outback Magazine
