John Cleese has long been a favourite of mine. Recently, in an interview with NPR, Cleese said (about writing jokes), ‘I think if you start trying to write jokes that you don’t think are funny in order to make a sort of theoretical audience somewhere else laugh, I think that’s death. I think you’ve got to do what you find funny yourself and just hope that people find it funny.’
Cleese was about to graduate from Cambridge and go on to a career in law when he was approached by the BBC to begin writing for them, based on his experience with the Cambridge student comedy. He worked for some major names before becoming part of the uber-famous Monty Python troupe. As a senior member of that group, he had a lot of creative and organizational sway, but the overall success was that all of the members worked as a team. The Dead Parrot sketch, for example, came out of an older routine that involved a used-car salesman, and the writing went through many different potential dead animals (injured animals would not be funny, and you have to know what’s funny) before they settled on the ex-parrot who had ceased to be.
Cleese talks about his relationships private and professional, including some that overlapped (Connie Booth, for example, was both his wife and his co-star on the cult classic series ‘Fawlty Towers’). He also talks about the various films he’s been in, often portraying very similar characters (who doesn’t expect Cleese to be part Python and part Fawlty no matter what he’s doing?) but successfully melding them into different settings.
There aren’t many great and grand revelations here, but some interesting insights and tidbits along the way that will please fans of comedy in general and of British comedy, Fawlty Towers, and Monty Python in particular.
So Anyway… by John Cleese
The newly release autobiography from John Cleese is a hilarious inside look at one of the most exhilarating men in show business. From childhood fears to the success of Monty Python’s Flying Circus, Cleese conveys his life story with a comedic approach. Cleese explains how suppressed anger is actually funny. Real anger can work in life, but it won’t work as comedy. Funny anger is ineffectual distemper as demonstrated in his popular television series Faulty Towers. To "get" this, among other jokes, requires a construction of a jump needed to "get" a joke. If you spoon feed an intelligent audience and make the joke too obvious, they will not find it funny. However the opposite exists if the connection is not made, and laughter will not happen. John Cleese has followed his interest in comedy and shares with the reader how he has mastered these rules and observations.
John’s book provides the reader his personal slow realization growing up, that if only he would acquire enough information about all aspects of the world he would be in total control of his life and invulnerable to the slings and arrows of put downs, sarcasms, and teasing of growing up. This in turn clarifies why acceptance, support, and camaraderie becomes an important fixture of childhood. Beginning his employment as a schoolmaster in which he carried one disadvantage; he knew nothing about the subjects he was to teach, became good practice for the next career move, joining Footlights, a college entertainment group. Amusing tales of being attacked at will by an everyday common rabbit, and advise such as steal an idea that you know is good, and try to reproduce it in a setting that you know and understand, become enjoyable life reflections through out the chapters.
