Summary
The hilarious book from the nation's favourite comedian, Billy Connolly.
Being a Rambling Man was what I always wanted to be, to live the way I damn well pleased. I've met the weirdest and most wonderful people who walk the Earth, seen the most bizarre and the most fantastic sights - and I've rarely come across something I couldn't get a laugh at. I don't think I've ever had a bad trip. Well, apart from in the 1970s, but that's a whole other story...
When Billy set out from Glasgow as a young man he never looked back. He played his banjo on boats and trains, under trees, and on top of famous monuments. He danced naked in snow, wind and fire. He slept in bus stations, under bridges and on strangers' floors. He travelled by foot, bike, ship, plane, sleigh - even piggy-backed - to get to his next destination.
Billy has wandered to every corner of the earth and believes that being a Rambling Man is about more than just travelling - it's a state of mind. Rambling Men and Women are free spirits who live on their wits, are interested in people and endlessly curious about the world. They love to play music, make art or tell stories along the way but, above all, they have a longing in their heart for the open road.
In his joyful book, Billy explores this philosophy and how it has shaped him, and he shares hilarious new stories from his lifetime on the road. From riding his trike down America's famous Route 66, building an igloo on an iceberg in the Arctic, playing elephant polo (badly) in Nepal and crashing his motorbike (more than once), to eating witchetty grubs in Australia, being serenaded by a penguin in New Zealand, and swapping secrets in a traditional Sweat Lodge ritual in Canada, Rambling Man is a truly global adventure with the greatest possible travel companion.

Billy Connolly still in fine form at 80
Loved having Billy as company for hours while i drove, walked and shaved. Ramblin Man is funny, interesting, poignant and warm, everything we have come to love about the Big Yin. I love you, Billy.

Must have taken a lot of effort for The Big Yin to write and read this audio book. Appreciate his effort. Brilliant book to get lost in. Love Billy.

It’s almost like Billy’s final encore.
Great listen, I can’t help but feel it’s Billy giving his last performance, a final good bye to the world. The nostalgic tales of his life, told the only way they should be, from the horse’s mouth.
Thanks Billy.

Just like a fine single malt scotch whisky Billy gets better and better with age. One of the UK’s most humblest celebrities.

Could listen to Billy all day ….
I love his rambling humour. His story is mind blowing. From such humble beginnings, emerged a terrific mind. His ability to observe and spot the often ludicrously funny traits of the human condition is brilliant. Long may he continue.
