Going Off Alarming: The Autobiography: | Danny Baker

1 post | 1 read | 1 reading | 1 to read

The dazzlingly funny second volume of Danny Baker's memoirs: the television years. Since my first book was published I have had countless friends and family members get in touch to say how come I hadn't included this story or that tale. Was I ashamed of being shot twice, once up the arse, in Jamaica Road? How long should a man live with such a secret? If by retrospectively dropping my trousers every few pages I can reveal a fuller picture of myself during these years, then so be it. Besides. Being shot up the arse. In front of your mates. What else did I forget?

Going Off Alarming: The Autobiography: | Danny Baker

pick

This second volume of his memoirs showcases his undeniable skill at crafting a hilarious anecdote. The encounters with comedy legends like Kenneth Williams, Tommy Cooper, Frankie Howerd and Mel Brooks are all worth the price of admission, but it's his descriptions of family life, in particular his portrait of his dad Spud, that put this volume right up among the classic comic memoirs.

andrew61 I saw him a couple of years ago touring his memoir on stage. Very entertaining. 4y
