Product Description
The Guardian
"Billy Connolly is quite simply the most successful popular Britis stand-up comedian of modern times"

Book Description
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars 10 stars if i could, 23 Jun 2003
I read this book(paperback) in Italy 2 years ago, and thought it was the most funny/humorous book i have ever read, i vividly remember laughing my head at the side of the pool whilst everyone was looking at me funny. I came back to amazon to find another BIll book for my summer hols to relax and have some fun. I simply could not beleive that another reader had given it 1 star - which spurred me to write this little review. In conclusion: this book is Brilliant, brilliant brilliant. Plus, Billy if u read this if and would like to donate any funds to my overdraft a/c please feel free to email me at anytime :-).

1.0 out of 5 stars CHARISMATIC SAVAGE, 21 Aug 2002
Essentially a visual experience, Connolly's reputation has been built on verbal and visual nuance. Any attempt to portray him through the written word is likely to challenge the best writer. Which brings us to Pamela Stephenson's "Billy".
The first thing to say is that - to put it kindly - the writing style is unsuited to the subject matter.
Stephenson's (purple) prose is shot through with cliche, broad generalization and truism; the whole work underscored with snippets of cod psychological insight whose combined effect is further to undermine the man and his work. The breathless tone is present throughout the 383 pages, and - since its style apes that particular magazine - will quickly grate with all but the most hardened Hello reader.
The tone of the book is established as early as page three, when we read that "Not a day has passed since I met him twenty years ag
