==Early life and education==

Clary was born in [[Surbiton]], Surrey, to Brenda Clary (née McDonald), a probation officer, and Peter J. Clary, a policeman. He was brought up in [[Teddington]] with two older sisters. By his own account, he was conceived "in broad daylight" in [[Clacton-on-Sea]] in 1958. His parents made reference to this unusual conception by naming Clary after [[Julian of Norwich]] who was also reportedly conceived in broad daylight in [[Clacton-on-Sea]]. <ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/julian-clary-comedian-rtjw8bpmq6s|title=Julian Clary Comedian|publisher=thetimes.co.uk|date= |accessdate=11 January 2018}}</ref> Two of his great-grandparents were Germans who emigrated to Britain at the end of the nineteenth century.<ref>{{cite web|title=WDYTYA?
