John Dowie - Before I Go

John Dowie - Before I Go
By John Dowie

A boat approaches; a lantern hung on its prow is the only light in this dark, cold world. The boat reaches the edge of the lake. The boatman has a kindly face. He calls out to me. "Mr Dowie?" "Yes," I reply. "Not any more," he says. And I step into his boat.

John Dowie, proto-alternative comedian and quixotic cyclist, has a few last things to get off his chest. Join him in this funny and poignant memoir as he tells a story from pre-cradle to post-grave with musings on parenthood, Batman and showbiz along the way.
