Drink Smoke Snort Stroke

The Biography of Willy de Wit

By: Willy de Wit, David Downs

Narrated by: David Downs, Willy de Wit

A wild and raw tale of Willy’s life—from his early career in stand-up comedy, to his successful and seminal TV show, to his work on the radio—but then beyond, to a world of alcoholism, chronic drug addiction, long standing bouts of depression and a major stroke suffered for good measure. But apart from those minor occurrences, it’s a pretty run of the mill story… if you’re illiterate.

Raw and funny.

I really enjoyed listening to both Willy and David narrate. The clever intertwining of past and almost present kept the story moving at a fast pace. I went from laughing out loud at his early escapades, to loudly expressing my anger at the way Willy was treated. I was taken on a journey through my own early adult years, recalling many of the people and events. Thank you Willy for your bravery, and David for being part of the project. It was great having you both on tour with me.
