NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - "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."--The Washington Post

The legendary writer and performer of Monty Python and Fawlty Towers fame takes readers on a grand tour of his ascent in the entertainment world

John Cleese's huge comedic influence has stretched across generations; his sharp irreverent eye and the unique brand of physical comedy he perfected now seem written into comedy's DNA. In this rollicking memoir, Cleese recalls his humble beginnings in a sleepy English town, his early comedic days at Cambridge University (with future Python partner Graham Chapman), and the founding of the landmark comedy troupe that would propel him to worldwide renown.

Cleese was just days away from graduating Cambridge and setting off on a law career when he was visited by two BBC executives, who offered him a job writing comedy for radio. That fateful moment--and a near-simultaneous offer to take his university humor revue to London's famed West End--propelled him down a different path, cutting his teeth writing for stars like David Frost and Peter Sellers, and eventually joining the five other Pythons to pioneer a new kind of comedy that prized invention, silliness, and absurdity. Along the way, he found his first true love with the actress Connie Booth and transformed himself from a reluctant performer to a world class actor and back again.

Twisting and turning through surprising stories and hilarious digressions--with some brief pauses along the way that comprise a fascinating primer on what's funny and why--this story of a young man's journey to the pinnacle of comedy is a masterly performance by a master performer.

Gorgeous, thick, fluffy, neutral scent. PERFECT!!
Color: Ivory, Size: 2' x 6' (Double Pelt)
Size and color as described, very soft and cozy. It's made of a thick material and sewn very well. Looks to be able to withstand years of use as a recliner cover for an elderly person. The soft cushiony feeling makes sitting or laying for prolonged periods of time much easier on a body. I'll even get more from the brand for the pets to sleep on.

Very pleased with golden yellow color and sheepskin quality
Color: Golden Yellow, Size: 2' x 6' (Double Pelt), Color: Golden Yellow, Size: 2' x 6' (Double Pelt)
For the competitive price of less than $80, I am very pleased with the quality. Thick, soft fur that sheds little to none. I had to stick my nose right in it to be aware of the sheep scent, which I found rather pleasant. Came vacuum packed but fluffed right up with a little shaking. Love the golden yellow. The color of my pics are pretty precise. I needed something to perk up my brown leather furniture and bring out the colors in my wall pictures. This does it! Miss Milly loves it too. Buying another color to further perk up my main bedroom.

Finally!! This is quality!!
Color: Ivory, Size: 2' x 6' (Double Pelt), Color: Ivory, Size: 2' x 6' (Double Pelt)
I’ve ordered three brands claiming to be luxury sheepskin rugs. I’m returning two today. THIS is the one!! So happy, I just ordered three more . I’m returning two from another brand and I won’t mention their name. Side by side there’s no comparison. The back of this rug is stitched around the edges where the other rugs have raw edges. The other rugs felt OK, but not very soft and really full of static. THIS rug feel silky soft and is noticeably longer and more dense. The other brands I ordered were a little over an inch long(fur). THIS rug ‘s fur is approx 3” long and dense. Sooo silky and plush. The only downside -and the company actually sent a guide, explaining it… is there is a slight yellow tinge. The other rugs are flat out yellow. This company explains that bright white would include toxins like formaldehyde and bleaching powder. So I’m fine w that. Just don’t put it against a bright white wall or fireplace. Otherwise it’s not noticeable. I’m sure I’ll be buying even more to put throughout my home. I could not be happier with this!!! They understood the assignment❤️❤️❤️- also- the price. About the same as the lesser rugs that are going back. LOVE. Puppy does too🤣 Ok. I came back to edit my review. Still positive. I apparently ordered ivory not white. I have two white ones coming Sunday so will report back and show color comparison. I was saying that the white isn’t white white and the company does explain what that entails. Other companies selling same color are VERY yellow and this isn’t. Also no strong smell to it. 👍
