About this product
Product Information
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 home life 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.Product Identifiers

Mixed thoughts, a milder book than I had anticipated
More observational on his days at uni & early career; not too much about his meteoric rise or reference to his demons/therapy etc. Some good points made though about people being taken in by posh accents/class (Cambridge days) rather than seeing through their stupidity & the idiots that end up in government ..........as we have very much seen over the summer of 2016, Cleese wasn't far wrong.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
