A candid and brilliantly funny memoir... ...of how a tall, shy
youth from Weston-super-Mare went on to become a self-confessed
comedy legend. En route, John Cleese describes his nerve-wracking
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.
