A read that entirely fits the personality of the extreme personality who wrote it, Connolly's raucous run through his life is as furious, funny and foul-mouthed as you'd expect. His stand-up knack for easy storytelling shines through - Sunday Times Connolly's writing is so much like his speech you can hear him as you read. - Evening Standard One of stand-up's great naturals. No one told a story better. - Guardian Wild and whirling . . . it reads like a talking book - Observer A glorious memoir full of insights into the funnyman's life and career. Hilarious. - Prima The Big Yin Bible - The List
