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)

Danny Baker is a national treasure. This is a great story well delivered by the man himself. He doesn’t skimp on detail especially his fight to overcome head and neck cancer. Engaging from page one to the end.

Brutal, candid and engaging

I doubt he will ever read this but what a joy it’s been to be part of Danny’s vibrant down to earth homely family ! I’ve just finished the 3rd and final instalment of Danny’s autobiography. I’ve loved the memories of a London and it’s people I remember , the laughter the tears all read by the man himself ! Thanks for sharing Danny I’ve enjoyed every minute and now I’ve finished will feel lonely on my journey to work!

Thank you !
