My Shit Life So Far Audiobook (Free)
Summary:
Ever since being raised with the Beatles, Frankie Boyle is a tremendous liar. Sign up for him on his ventures along with his chum Clangy The Brass Boy and have a good laugh as he doesn’t unintentionally kill students nurse when a party gets beyond control.
I don’t believe anyone can have written an autobiography without at some point thinking ‘Why would anyone wish to know this shit?’ I’ve constantly read them thinking ‘I don’t want to know where Steve Tyler was raised, just show me just how many groupies he f**ked!” on the subject of My Shit Life So Far
So begins Frankie’s outrageous, laugh-out loud, cynical rant about life mainly because he knows it. From developing up in Pollockshaws, Glasgow (‘it was an aching concrete void, a slap in the face to Childhood, and for the family members it was a stage up’), to his rampant teenage libido (‘in those days if you glimpsed a nipple on T.V. it was like porn Xmas’), and 1st job employed in a mental medical center (‘where most evenings were spent persuading a vintage guy in his jeans not to consume a family size block of cheese’), nothing is out of bounds.
Outspoken, outrageous and brilliantly unacceptable, Frankie Boyle, the dark heart of Mock the Week, says the unsayable mainly because only he can. From the TV programmes he would like to find made (‘Superstars On Acid On Snow: exactly like Celebrity Dancing On Glaciers, but with an starting series where Graham Norton tubes the superstars down with liquid LSD’), to his native Scotland as well as the Mayor of London (‘voting for Boris Johnson wasn’t that dissimilar to voting to get a Labrador wearing a Wonder Woman costume’), nothing no one is safe from Frankie’s fearless, sharp-tongued assault.
Sharply observed and filled with taboo-busting, we-really-shouldn’t-be-laughing-at-this humour, My Shit Life So Far shows as to why Frankie Boyle is really the blackest man in show business.
