Description
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.

Very little Monty Python in it
I was hoping to learn about John's perspective on the MP years... Unfortunately, the book ends just when those are starting!

Great yarn and background
I really enjoyed the audio book .... I sadly could do with volume 2 as it only covers the first 30 years... I would love to hear about the next 50, there is something about his style and delivery I just love as will all fans of John Cleese... it of course is good humoured and funny as well.
Remember this is an Autobiography not a set of Monty python sketches.

Boring
If I had known this book was only about Cleese's first 30 years, I would not have bought it (caveat emptor!). That initial mistake acknowledged, it's seldom I stick to a book if I am not being informed or entertained, but I managed to finish all 13+ hours of this one simply because I couldn't believe that, with such an intelligent and brilliant author, it wouldn't improve. Sadly, it did not. Cleese's school and university years take up the first half of the book and they were no more interesting than mine. Even when he gets onto the stage, there is too much about writing and production and performance analysis and not terribly interesting anecdotes about other artists - all deadly dull unless, perhaps, you are an aspiring actor or theatre historian. The book is only slightly redeemed from Chapter 11 with the inclusion of a few sections from Cleese's best known skits. Overall the material is mundane, the writing pedestrian, and the tone uninspiring.

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.

Very enjoyable book!
Having Cleese read it makes this book very funny. Even he thought so a few times, cus he would start laughing while reading.

He's funny!
A major benefit of listening to a comedian's autobiography as read by himself: Timing!
And original clips of Cleese and Chapman, of course.

Best audiobook
This is one of the best audiobooks I have ever listened to, mainly due to John Cleese spectacular performance as a reader. You almost feel as if you are there with him. It's hilarious, it's interesting and it's what you want from this kind of book. So, anyway enjoy the book.

raw, origonal...loved it
the fact that John himself read the book brought it to life. it was funny, insightful and for me a reminder that one should follow their "passion" (John, one for your publishers;-)) even when your educational background might take you on a different journey.

Too short, come on John
The only Problem I have with this Autobiography is, that it´s too short. It Ends, when the Pythons begin. Looks like the life of John Cleese ended then and was only shortly resurrected in the o2 Arena a couple of years ago. But the guy probably knows that we will just wait for the Part II and buy this again, in the end, he Needs Money for his Mistresses probably. For everybody who wants to have a good time listening to a great Autobiography, this is for you. I admit that I speak here as a fanboy, but for everybody else: if you ever wondered, why John Cleese has this Special look in his eyes, this desperate, sad, empty look - you will find an answer in this book, too.
