About this product

Product Information

Ever since being brought up by The Beatles, Frankie Boyle has been a tremendous liar. Join him on his adventures with his chum Clangy The Brass Boy and laugh as he doesn't accidentally kill a student nurse when a party gets out of hand. I don't think anyone can have written an autobiography without at some point thinking Why would anyone want to know this shit? I've always read them thinking I don't want to know where Steve Tyler grew up, just tell me how many groupies he f**ked! ' So begins Frankie's outrageous, laugh-out loud, cynical rant on life as he knows it. From growing up in Pollockshaws, Glasgow ('it was an aching cement void, a slap in the face to Childhood, and for the family it was a step up'), to his rampant teenage sex drive ('in those days if you glimpsed a nipple on T.V. it was like porn Christmas'), and first job working in a mental hospital ('where most evenings were spent persuading an old man in his pants not to eat a family sized block of cheese'), nothing is out of bounds. Outspoken, outrageous and brilliantly inappropriate, Frankie Boyle, the dark heart of Mock the Week, says the unsayable as only he can. From the TV programmes he would like to see made ('Celebrities On Acid On Ice: just like Celebrity Dancing On Ice, but with an opening sequence where Graham Norton hoses the celebrities down with liquid LSD'), to his native Scotland and the Mayor of London ('voting for Boris Johnson wasn't that different to voting for a Labrador wearing a Wonder Woman costume'), nothing and no one is safe from Frankie's fearless, sharp-tongued assault. Sharply observed and full of taboo-busting, we-really-shouldn't-be-laughing-at-this humour, My Shit Life So Far shows why Frankie Boyle really is the blackest man in show business.

  • Good book

    Good book came as described. Maybe have to be into Frankie Boyles sense of humour to really enjoy it. And also not to have watched all his stand up routines or every episode of Mock The Week he's been in as you will have heard most of the jokes before. Still it was worth a read and quite funny in places.

  • An easy read with a few funny escapades littered throughout.

    I had this book recommended by a friend who claimed to laugh out loud and roll around the floor! Whilst I have found this book humerous in places I wouldn't say I have found it the funniest book. However, I am not a fan of critics and one should always read for themselves amd form their own opinion.

  • A good read if you like Frankie's style.

    Frankie as usual was honest, blunt and almost all of the jokes I had already heard on Mock the Week, but I still enjoyed the book. He does not go into really great depth as you would find in some autobiography's, but if you watched enough Mock the Week you would probably guess that he might have got quite bored writing it. Still a good read and plenty about him you might not have known and as the title suggests - he is not finished yet. If you like Frankie's style you will enjoy this book - otherwise, put it back and walk away.

  • Honest and hilarious - highly recommended 5 out of 5.

    Absolutely lovely book. Written in a great capturing style, full of nicely blended jokes and rather revealing. Perfect for the fans as it includes quite a lot of well known jokes but in fuller and the never-heard-of material. Honest and hilarious - highly recommended.
