So, Anyway...

The Autobiography

De: John Cleese

Narrado por: John Cleese

Candid and brilliantly funny, this is the story of how a tall, shy youth from Weston-super-Mare went on to become a self-confessed legend.

En route, John Cleese describes his nerve-racking first public appearance, at St Peter's Preparatory School at the age of eight and five-sixths; his endlessly peripatetic homelife, with parents who seemed incapable of staying in any house for longer than six months; his first experiences in the world of work, as a teacher who knew nothing about the subjects he was expected to teach; his hamster-owning days at Cambridge; and his first encounter with the man who would be his writing partner for over two decades, Graham Chapman. And so on to his dizzying ascent via scriptwriting for Peter Sellers, David Frost, Marty Feldman and others to the heights of Monty Python.

Punctuated from time to time with John Cleese's thoughts on topics as diverse as the nature of comedy, the relative merits of cricket and waterskiing and the importance of knowing the dates of all the kings and queens of England, this is a masterly performance by a former schoolmaster.

John was a dear friend of mine for two weeks

I heard it while driving everyday for about two weeks. priceless... John was my dear friend for these weeks and I really felt it hard to let go when the book finished... It was all wonderful. Thank you John, my dear friend.

Very funny and entertaining

Even the intro and outro of the audio book are hilarious. Being born in the 90's, it was enlighning to hear what the 60's were really like and how John became a comedian without starting in hollywood. The bits where he laughts at his own jokes are abselutly contagous. 10/10 will read again.

Stunning

An insight into mad genius.
