Listen to the audiobook; to hear Billy deliver his own words made the book. Some very sad moments and times when I was laughing out loud, and I’m not a person who laughs easily. I loved his passion for Scotland and Glasgow particularly, and his self belief. This is a story of a man who could have been destroyed by his childhood circumstances but he managed to carve out an incredibly successful career in comedy and movies, and a loving family life through his enjoyment in hobbies and seeing the joy in the characters in life.
