About this listen

In his first memoir, beloved comedian and national treasure Bill Bailey shares stories of his life - and the animals he's met along the way.

Bill Bailey has always had dogs, including a Patterdale terrier called Rocky who would travel with him in the van to his first shows and occasionally join him on stage. Fast forward a few decades and Bill has shared his home with a variety of birds, dogs, frogs, chameleons and an armadillo called Tommy. 'We even had a giant chicken, a huge Malay cockerel called Kid Creole. After a few stand-offs he took against me. He had to go in the end, I was being stalked in my own back garden.'

That chicken apart, animals have always been at the heart of an extraordinary life as one of the nation's favourite comedians, actors, musicians and (thanks to Strictly) dancers: from terriers to the orangutans of Sumatra and the parrots that share his breakfast every morning in west London.

Full of the leftfield humour, wit and wisdom that has made Bill Bailey such a beloved performer around the world, My Animals and Other Animals is the story of Bill's life; but more than that, it's the story of how all of our lives are enriched by the animals who accompany us on that journey.©2024 Bill Bailey (P)2024 Quercus Editions Limited

I loved it all. It's a funny, hopeful, profound piece of work

I loved all of it, but the last bit, the Minke whale and Beethoven's 5th... was heart stopping. That feels like a gift. Thanks, Bill Bailey, I can't express how touched I was by that story.

The description of the various animals a d his reaction to them.

I certainly understand the magical and spiritual connection as you look into the eyes of a whale or tiger. I had just such an encounter with animals in the Wilds of Africa and Asia. you can't help but contemplate their power and intelligence after looking into their eyes.
