Über diesen Titel

Read by John Cleese with an introduction by Michael Palin. 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 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. Includes archive clips of many of his most famous moments.

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.

Kritikerstimmen

Vivid, ridiculously entertaining, and, at times, explosively funny... Cleese is a master of crisp comic prose: his elegant syntax and sudden absurdities would have PG Wodehouse raising a martini glass. So, Anyway... glows with fairness, kindness, gentleness and loyalty. (Nicholas Barber)
Told with considerable charm and a refreshing amount of candour, the story is one of a vulnerable soul gradually finding a degree of security from behind a carapace of cutting wit... Remarkably warm and generous. (Graham McCann)
John Cleese’s memoir is just about everything one would expect of its author – smart, thoughtful, provocative and above all funny… A picture, if you will, of the artist as a young man.
So, Anyway… breaks away from the shallow conventions of the famous person's autobiography... The result is a book that is frequently hilarious, occasionally lyrical and always thoughtful. It is a fine and funny achievement.
Like having a long lunch with an amiable, slightly loony uncle. Who also happens to be John Cleese. (Michael Ian Black)
Left me wiping away tears. (Helen Brown)
This is required reading for his fans.
[Cleese's] unrelenting charm and crisp wit make this the hilarious memoir fans expected. The book might as well be coated in glue, as it proves tricky to put down.
An upfront and hilarious account of the comedy legend's early years.

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.

raw, origonal...loved it

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.

Too short, come on John

Funny and informative, you can't stop listening!!!
Maybe there had been a few more facts about the monthy pytons flying circus.

Well done Mr. Cleese
