Whatever your opinion of Billy Connolly, his life has been an epic tale of controversy and hilarity, tragedy and comedy. From his working class roots in Glasgow he has worked his way to the top, and now enjoys huge worldwide acclaim and lives a dream lifestyle. From welding to folk singing to comedy to writing to acting, Billy has proved beyond doubt his versatility and sheer determination. And if anyone knows that better than him, it's his wife, Pamela, who will give us an insiders view of this hugely talented musician, singer, tv presenter, comdedian and actor. We will hear about the highs and the lows, the good times and the bad and she will take us behind-the-scenes of the films and tv shows he has been in and the sell-out tours that are so unmissable so that we get to see something of the real Billy Connolly.

Spectacular Insight,

This review is from: Billy (Paperback)
I purchased this book with the hope of learning more about someone that I considered a very funny man. It did that and more. I am now more impressed then ever with the man that is Billy Connolly. He started from nothing and achieved what he wanted. I think there are valuable lessons to be learned in his "take no for an answer" attitude.The start of the story is slow and it is occasionally tough to keep track of all the family members that played a role in Billy's life. Overall, the path to success that was travelled is a marvellous adventure, which Pamela Stephenson has captured. A spectacular read for any fan of Billy Connolly.

Some interesting info on entertainment field in this book. Fairly quick read. Some of the info is of a sad nature, but inspiring at the same time. Loved Billy's performance in Mrs. Brown.
