Summary
'Our naughtiest national treasure . . . famously filthy, funny and phlegmatic . . . Oh Miriam! is Margolyes's manifesto for a fulfilled life . . . She loves to tell it straight. And the older she gets, the straighter she tells it' SIMON HATTENSTONE, Guardian
'Irrepressible . . . A life-enhancing rollercoaster of a ride . . . this book is like Margolyes herself - outspoken, ebullient and unexpectedly wise' EMMA LEE-POTTER, Daily Express
'Snortingly funny . . . deliciously unbridled . . . There is something heroic in her unruliness. Let Miriam take the lead and enjoy the show' RHIK SAMADDER, Observer
'Insanely interesting, full of profanity and profundity, Oh Miriam!'s title comes from all the people who have ever exclaimed her name in every tone from horror to hilarity; and her unfiltered personality leaps off the page - honesty, kindness, generosity, sanity, erudition, outspokenness' SUZANNE HARRINGTON, Irish Examiner
'Endearingly eccentric' WOMEN'S WEEKLY
From declaring my love to Vanessa Redgrave to being fed cockroaches by Steve Buscemi, from turnip-based comedy with Blackadder to being farted on by Arnold Schwarzenegger, from Graham Norton's sofa to Alan Cumming's camper van, my life has been (and continues to be) an uproarious adventure.
Oh Miriam! has been such a constant refrain in my life, said in all kinds of tones - laughs, surprised gasps and orgasmic sighs (I'm hoping for all of those from you as you read on!) - that it had to be the title of this book. And with a cast list that stretches from Churchill to DiCaprio, Dahl to Dietrich, Princess Margaret to Maggie Smith, I've so much more to tell you and so much more to say.
My chapters range from 'How to Stay Married' to 'Don't Let the Bastards Get You Down'. Discover how to break the thickest conversational ice; why swearing is actually good for you (though not on the Today programme); the unexpected things I learned at school and what my Spice Girl name would be. Not to mention my Tale of the Unexpected and my very own Vagina Monologue.
Buckle up and join me on another unforgettable adventure, but this time through my heart and head . . .
More from the same

Hilariously....
funny, just like her first book and heartwarming as well. Thank you, Miriam Margolyes, for another brilliant book. The narrator was very good.

Oh Miriam
Well I love this Audible book just as good as her first book I’ve never laughed so much, she puts so much into her book . This lady is someone I really love to met I’ve never been someone to read or listen to Autobiography books . But I’m glad I’ve listened to Miriam Margolyes so thank you you’ve made my day . Xx

Excellent listen. Sad that I have no more original Miriam Margolyes to listen to but I will repeat the two books over and over until Miriam writes no 3 😁

Bit of a letdown
I absolutely loved the first book, it was punchy, entertaining and throughout enjoyable, this is not. It lacks structure, becomes monotonous and filler, plus seems to lack the passion of book one and just seems a cash in rather than a passion project. Gave up half way and just became a chore

Profanity - it’s great
Loved her anecdotes and humour. She has a great way with worlds - often rude ones.
