ALWAYS LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE - ERIC I...

Best known for his unforgettable roles in Monty Python  from the Flying Circus to The Meaning
of Life  Eric Idle reflects on the meaning of his own life in this brilliantly entertaining
memoir that takes us on an unforgettable journey from his childhood in an austere boarding
school through his successful career in comedy  television  theatre and film. Coming of age as
a writer and comedian during the Sixties and Seventies  Eric stumbled into the crossroads of
the cultural revolution and found himself rubbing shoulders with the likes of George Harrison 
David Bowie and Robin Williams  all of whom became lifelong friends. With anecdotes sprinkled
throughout that involve other close friends and luminaries such as Mick Jagger  Steve Martin 
Paul Simon and Mike Nichols - let alone the Pythons themselves - Eric captures a time of
tremendous creative output with equal hilarity and heart. In Always Look on the Bright Side of
Life  named after the song he wrote for Life of Brian that has since become the number-one song
played at funerals in the UK  he shares the highlights of his life and career with the off-beat
humour that has delighted audiences for decades. A legend in his own lunchtime  Eric is the
author of many books  some not half bad  some not even a quarter bad. Now he enters his
anecdotage as the last word in Python memoirs  and the last of this extraordinary group to tell
his story. 2019 marks the fiftieth anniversary of The Pythons  and Eric is celebrating the
occasion with this laugh-out-loud memoir  chock-full of behind-the-scenes stories from a
high-flying life that features everyone from Princess Leia to the Queen.
