description: Once my fingers were fully cheezelled I moved up to the cocktail Frankfurt bowl and started poking those things into my mouth as fast as I could dip them in the red sauce. How on earth they make horse nostrils and sawdust so damn tasty is a mystery but hats off to Huttons. From running with a bad crowd in kindergarten to her junk food modus operandi at kids' parties and enduring a 'Yoga Guantanamo' camp the fabulous anecdotes from Kitty Flanagan's life will take you on a hilarious trip down memory lane. Kitty's observations about relationships whether it be travelling around South America with a dud boyfriend her brief affair with a graveyard digger or sussing out potential new dates are highly amusing. And though not a fan of the 'it's not you it's me' breakup line she wasn't quite prepared for an ex-boyfriend reciting a hand-written list of her faults when he dumped her. On the career front Kitty recalls working in a crayfish-factory where she annoyed her boss so much that one day he locked her in a freezer. And she well and truly burnt her bridges at a stand-up venue in Singapore when she responded to her employer's enquiry about her 'moustache'. Confirming her reputation as one of Australia's top comedians Kitty Flanagan's Bridge Burning and Other Hobbies is a laugh-out loud entertaining and endearing yarn.
