About this listen

 In this documentary portrait of Kenneth Williams, who died in 1988, the much-loved comedy actor's diaries are drawn upon to illustrate his life and career. David Benson, who won acclaim for his one-man show in which he portrayed Kenneth Williams, reads extracts from the diaries, while archive audio clips from such programmes as Round the Horne and Beyond Out Ken illustrate the madcap versatility of Williams the performer. This Radio Collection version features material additional to the original Radio 4 broadcast.© and (P)2004 BBC Audiobooks LTD Entertainment & Celebrities Entertainment & Performing Arts Funny

I kept forgetting it was narrated, he has got the voice down pretty well! Shame it wasn't the full diaries though.

This was a great audio book adaptation of the book, beautifully narrated. So much humour and the stitching together or archive real performances is genius!

An amazing real life experience, behind the curtain of Kenneth’s life

Hearing how Kenneth recalls the day’s events, then hearing the recording/interviews and how they actually went, really highlights how incredibly self critical he was.

A must listen
