John Cleese’s huge comedic influence has stretched across generations; his sharp irreverent eye and the unique brand of physical comedy he perfected with Monty Python, on Fawlty Towers, and beyond now seem written into comedy’s DNA. In this rollicking memoir, So, Anyway…, Cleese takes readers on a Grand Tour of his ascent in the entertainment world, from his humble beginnings in a sleepy English town and his early comedic days at Cambridge University (with future Python partner Graham Chapman), to the founding of the landmark comedy troupe that would propel him to worldwide renown.

Siiras ja erakordselt naljakas lugu sellest, kuidas pikast, h?belikust Weston-super-Mare’i noorukist sirgub teada-tuntud legend. Oma teekonnal kirjeldab John Cleese esimest n?rves??vat avalikku esinemist Saint Peteri erakoolis, kui ta oli vaid kaheksa ja viis kuuendikku aastat vana; oma l?putult r?ndavat elu vanematega, kes ei suutnud elada n?htavasti kusagil kauem kui kuus kuud; oma esimesi kogemusi ?petajat??s, teadmata v?himatki ainetest, mida ta pidi ?petama; oma hamstriomaniku p?evi Cambridge’is ja esmakohtumist mehega, kellest sai rohkem kui kaheks aastak?mneks tema kaasautor, Graham Chapmaniga. Ja sealt edasi oma peadp??ritavast edust sketšikirjutajana Peter Sellersile, David Frostile, Marty Feldmanile ja teistele kuni „Monty Pythoni” k?rgusteni v?lja. Sisaldades siin-seal John Cleese’i m?tteid teemadel, mille haare on sama lai nagu kom??dia olemus, alustades kriketi ja veesuusatamise kaheldavatest h?vedest ning l?petades k?igi Inglismaa kuningate ja kuningannade t?htsamate daatumitega, on tegemist endise koolmeistri meisterliku t??ga.
