Summary
The inside story of the one of the most successful British stand-up comedians, as told by the person best qualified to reveal all about the man behind the comic, his wife of over 20 years – Pamela Stephenson.
Once in a lifetime, there strides upon the stage someone who can truly be called a legend. Such a person is the inimitable, timeless genius who is Billy Connolly. His effortlessly wicked whimsy has entranced, enthralled – and split the sides of – thousands upon thousands of adoring audiences.
And when he isn't doing that…he's turning in award-winning performances on film and television.
He's the man who needs no introduction, and yet he is the ultimate enigma. From a troubled and desperately poor childhood in the docklands of Glasgow he is now the intimate of household names the world over.
How did this happen, who is the real Billy Connolly? Only one person can answer that question: his wife, Pamela Stephenson. Pamela’s writing combines the very personal with a frank objectivity that makes for a compelling, moving and hugely entertaining biography. This is the real Billy Connolly.

Extraordinary
An amazing story of a troubled life, and a man who shone with laughter and wisdom. I never knew how hard Billy Connolly’s upbringing was I was spellbound has someone can come through adversity with such positivity.

Will listen over and over again.
Pamela tells the story of Billy beautiful, loving way. She sounds so sympathetic through the bad times and happy through the good time. You can tell there’s a lot of love in the way she tells the story.
