Kenneth Williams

Kenneth Williams was one of the great institutions of British entertainment. For nearly forty years his inimitable performances on stage, screen and radio delighted audiences around the world, and his autobiography recalls the most memorable moments from this time.

Barrack-room life in Singapore, post-war repertory, his roles in revue and on the London stage of the 1950s and 1960s, his famous cameos in great radio shows such as Hancock’s Half Hour, Round the Horne and Just a Minute, his friendships with people such as Ingrid Bergman, Maggie Smith, Orson Welles, Noel Coward, Joe Orton, Stanley Baxter and Gordon Jackson – all these are described with his special brand of humour and intelligence.
