Billy Connolly
An astonishingly intimate self-portrait. With unflinching honesty and brilliant humour, Sir Billy looks back on his triumphs and failings as an entertainer, husband and father.
Neither Parkinson’s disease nor age have diminished Billy Connolly’s wit or wisdom in this astonishingly intimate self-portrait of the stand-up pioneer turned cultural icon.
Told in his own words, with unflinching honesty and access to a superlative archive rather than the oft-told story of his career, this is a surprising and delightful meditation on the joys of growing older and wiser as he looks back on his triumphs and failings as an entertainer, husband and father.
