Is It That Time Already? is the best-selling autobiography of one of Scotland's most popular and best-loved entertainers, first published last October in hardback and available for the first time now in paperback.

Born in the East End of Glasgow to a non-theatrical family, the young Rikki Fulton was a natural performer, who knew from an early age that he wanted to be on the stage. After eventful wartime service in the Royal Navy, where his ship was torpedoed in the Mediterranean, it didn't take Rikki Fulton long to move from amateur dramatics and a respectable job in a shipping agency to the precarious world of the full-time performer.

Rikki Fulton quickly established himself as a hugely popular entertainer whose characters have become legends: from Josie (of Francie and Josie fame) to the Reverend I.M. Jolly (star of innumerable Hogmanay celebrations) and Supercop in Scotch & Wry. Is It That Time Already? tells Rikki's remarkable story, from his happy childhood in Glasgow, through his challenging wartime service, and on to fame and fortune on the stage and screen. A hilarious and often moving account of an extraordinary and gifted actor.
