I recommend this book for the classic “tongue in cheek” British humor of it’s author, John Cleese (Cheese). It calls to fans of the wacky, outlandish entertainment of the Monty Python era – especially if you’d like relief from the news, heavier reading or just a chance to laugh out loud, who cares who’s looking!

ohn 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.
