About this listen

Danny Baker is a national treasure with a well-documented - thanks to the recent eight-part BBC TV adaptation - and colourful life. For over a quarter of a century, he has amused and entertained audiences on both radio and television. Beginning his career at the age of 15 in a small record shop in London's West End, Danny went on to become an acclaimed music journalist and started his radio career on BBC GLR in 1989. With a unique take on life and a lot to say, Danny's latest book is full of his trademark warmth, wit and insight.

Written and read by Danny Baker.

Critic reviews

"Quite simply the funniest book you'll read all year...easily as funny, as self-deprecating and as wordly-wise as The Moon's a Balloon by David Niven...it's like Tom and Jerry written by a Cockney Roddy Doyle on Prozac. But funnier." ( GQ Online on Going Off Alarming)
"Rattles along at the same delightful and dizzying pace as its predecessor.... Baker loves a tale told at his own expense and they come thick and fast. He writes like he speaks, with hyperactive garrulity and a rhetorical flourish...there is something about Baker in full flow that is affirming." ( Daily Telegraph on Going Off Alarming)

As funny as the first two of his autobiographies, and Danny's description of his cancer treatment is very very interesting, and shocking.

The best is his trilogy

Even the tougher subjects are tackled with enormous heart, wit and honesty. Let’s hope there will be a part 4?

Just brilliant

this book is expertly written and brilliantly performed by Danny Baker. The stories are expertly weaved and so brilliantly illustrated with excellent description. Section about cancer is as expected, very dark indeed full stop I just about made it through these chapters but Danny's amazing ability to bring things to life provides captivating listening. Highly recommended as part of the Trio of these books

Oh I have just had the loveliest few weeks listening to all three books. It’s been like having Danny back on the radio in my drive home. Have never read or listened to a better written or performed biog. Stands up and applauds. Thank you Candyman.

Glorious glorious Candyman
