In 1993, Julian made an infamous appearance at the British Comedy Awards, where he made a joke comparing the set to Hampstead Heath, and that he had just had a rather rude sexual encounter with former Chancellor of the Exchequer Norman Lamont, who had presented an award earlier on.

No interview with Clary would be complete without a reference to that notorious gag about Norman Lamont, a joke so rude it provoked a campaign in one tabloid newspaper to have him banned from TV. “You missed your chance to break the mould,” he says with a little of Norman’s waspishness. “No it was a very good joke and I stand by it,” he adds. Clary’s outrageous costumes are a key element of the panto, and this year they are bigger than ever. Yet the brunt of the hard work, he said, is borne off-stage by his dressers. Live theatre, Clary suspects, remains in demand, despite the growing attraction of on-screen entertainment. “Theatre is totally absorbing and transporting, whereas watching something on the screen isn’t for me,” he said. “It is escapism, and that is what people need.” Clary was due to appear as Norman in a UK tour of The Dresser by Ronald Harwood, alongside Matthew Kelly as 'Sir' in September 2020, however due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the production was postponed to 2021. [33] Julian turned his attention to his other great-grandmother, Theresa. Julian's mother Brenda believes that it was Theresa's side of the family that carried the artistic gene. 'Thank goodness,' Julian exclaimed, 'because there's just rough, vulgar poverty on the other side.'The author’s passion for his pets shines through, and though the book doesn’t necessarily carry through on the promise of the introduction- there isn’t quite as much introspection and reflection as I was hoping for- anyone who has had a dog in their life can relate to the universality of joy and eventual loss they bring.
