Will It Be Funny Tomorrow, Billy is an autobiography by Australian singer-songwriter Stephen Cummings. The book is a collection of memoirist essays focussing on anecdotes of his childhood in the streets of Melbourne, of getting older and developing back problems, of the internal politics of rock bands and of the TV series Countdown.[1]

The title is a reference to Billy Joel who once tried to reassure a nervous Cummings after his band The Sports messed up on stage in a hip New York club.[2][3]

The book was turned into a film in 2014 under the title Don't Throw Stones.[4]
