Listeners of Radio 4’s popular and very funny panel show The Unbelievable Truth will already be familiar with the concept of trying to sneak unlikely truths past the opposition, but the idea also works well in book form … amazing facts … Huge fun and great for storing up information to make you seem more knowledgeable than you really are.

Incredibly funny … written in an easily accessible, comical way 5*

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.

Left me wiping away tears.

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.
