I love Billy Connolly, and this takes us from his childhood, life as a welder, music/comedy/film career and two marriages. Lots of comic exerpts. Maybe not great writing, but good enough for an entertaining read. ( ) Insightful biography of a well-loved comedian who overcame huge challenges. Stephenson's affection and sympathy for her husband as a subject are warming. The book would be a more rewarding read were the writing style more fluid but this is a price worth paying for a perspective that no other biographer is likely to discover. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

The inside story of the one of the most successful British stand-up comedians, as told by the person best qualified to reveal all about the man behind the comic, his wife of 10 years âe" Pamela Stephenson. Once in a lifetime, there strides upon the stage someone who can truly be called a legend. Such a one is the inimitable, timeless genius who is Billy Connolly. His effortlessly wicked whimsy has entranced, enthralled âe" and split the sides of âe" thousands upon thousands of adoring audiences. And when he isn't doing thatâe¦he's turning in award-winning performances on film and television. He's the man who needs no introduction, and yet he is the ultimate enigma. From a troubled and desperately poor childhood in the docklands of Glasgow he is now the intimate of household names the world over. How did this happen, who is the real Billy Connolly? Only one person can answer that question; his wife, Pamela Stephenson, knows the truth about life on the comedy circuit, how Billy works âe" and plays âe" and what it's like to live with him. In this extraordinary book, she combines the very personal with a frank objectivity that makes for a compellingly moving âe" yet hugely entertaining âe" biography. This is the real Billy Connolly.
