Summaries and Customer Reviews are supplied by Amazon.com HILARIOUS!! im not much of a reader, in-fact i never read, but i bought this because he is my favorite comedian, and i have yet to put it down!!! it is so funny, from start to finish, he is a brilliant man, and i couldn't recommend this highly enough, even to those who don't normally read much. Bloody Typical Boyle's autobiography is a masterpiece that flicks two fingers at everything from the Prime Minister to political correctness. His style is near identical to his own verbal style, which makes for an interesting assault on the eyeballs - it is, if you like, a joke book. A hugely disturbing, hilarious sit-down-in-the-corner-pissing-yourself-laughing comedy session. He is remarkably frank and nonchalant about most important things in his life (marriage: "I was drunk for most of it"). His anecdotes make for interesting reading, especially the one regarding National Express coaches ("[sic] he then proved why Glasgow had never produced any great diplomats......he held up his hands [to the bus driver] in a non-confrontational manner, 'calm doon', he said, 'ya prick')
A must, providing it's not read in quiet carriages, public places or anywhere wherte you're likely to embarass yourself laughing or spraying food/drink out your mouth as you read yet another near the knuckle joke so blatantly offensive that it would never be broadcast.
Not for the incontinent. Try singing next, Frankie A big fan of Frankie's work both on TV and comedy clubs, I was left thinking he has become just another greedy celeb who thinks stamping his name to something will garner him cash. There are too many celebs jumping on the book bandwagon and even fewer of them with the skills to do a worthwhile job. Frankie, stick to stand-up. There's definitely one word in the title that's appropriate. Couldn't read beyond 120 pages. Absolute drivel. The only reeeming factor is that i bought it with 'Saturday Night Peter' on a BOGOF deal. A damn good read As a fan of Frankie and roughly the same age, it is a good read and mixes nostalgia with the joys of life.
