Micky talks about running away to New York and becoming the playboy of the East End.

Micky Flanagan with stand up about his life in the 1980s  - from Billingsgate fish porter to intellectual. From June 2010.

Cockney comedian Micky Flanagan takes us through the 1980s 

This was the decade he spent running away to New York and being the international lover and player of the East End. 

He chats to his parents, his sister and his school friends in interviews that shed light on the stand up comedy. 

In his first radio series,  Micky charts his progression from working-class Herbert to middle-class intellectual and being caught awkwardly between the two. 

Told through reflective interviews, but mainly, Micky's acclaimed stand up comedy. Micky's transition from the mean streets of the East End to the leafy lanes of Dulwich is a fascinating story, with each episode focusing on a different decade of Micky's life.
