Description

A beloved actor and famous man-on-the-scene, Alan Cumming takes the reader on a wild journey of pithy and cheeky fun, presenting his real-life stories of debauchery during late night Hollywood parties, behind-the-scenes anecdotes, and hilarious yet poignant memories of his life, family, and friends. If you were to put David Sedaris and Glenn O'Brien in a blender and add a dash of New York and Hollywood gossip, you would wind up with Alan Cumming. Described by Time magazine as "one of the most fun people in show business," Cumming is a genuine triple-threat as a successful stage, television, and film star whose real-life vivacity, sophisticated wit, and charm tend to match that of his onstage personalities. In his third book, You Gotta Get Bigger Dreams, he has composed a collection of true-life adventures - or rather, misadventures - that is sure to make the reader laugh out loud. This volume recounts the hysterical and sometimes embarrassing encounters that only Cumming could experience, from awkwardly entertaining Elizabeth Taylor at Carrie Fisher's birthday party to being on a movie set with Helen Mirren and being mocked for wearing Croc sandals to making a friend's day by chasing down Oprah at a glitzy gala for a prized photograph with her. These forty-five stories are humorous novellas, each featuring memorable photographs - many simply snapshots taken by Cumming - that document or illustrate the tale told.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Alan Cumming's narration of his own collection of reminiscences bursts out of one's speakers with passion and verve.... Cumming's wit, good humor, and attention to just the right details in his writing and performance are more than enough on their own to keep listeners riveted." (AudioFile)

Brilliant aa always

Whenever I see an Audiobook by Alan I just buy it. No questions asked. And this book didn’t disappoint. I love his romance with words and his each to their own world view. And not to mention his entrancing Scottish brogue. This is worth a listen.

Quirky and Amusing

This is more of a picture book with a random assortment of reminiscences. I got it on sale for $2.50 and I'm happy with my purchase but I wouldn't spend a credit on it. After reading Not My Father's Son, the prose was something of a disappointment, though it was rather amusing.

Viewing the pictures while listening was annoying. Audible should make it possible to view accompanying pictures in their app. Instead, I needed to log onto Audible on my computer, download the PDF, and then transfer it to my phone. It was also not always clear which photos he was talking about at any given time. I assume this is clearer in the hard copy version.
