About this deal
This deal is expired. Here are some options that might interest you:
The instant Sunday Times bestseller and Financial Times Best Audio of 2023
From brutal schooldays to 80s anarchy, through The Young Ones, Bottom and beyond, Berserker! is the one-of-a-kind, fascinating memoir from an icon of British comedy, Adrian Edmondson.
Ade Edmondson revolutionized the comedy circuit in the 1980s and, alongside Rik Mayall, brought anarchy to stage and screen. How did a child brought up in a strict Methodist household – and who spent his formative years incarcerated in repressive boarding schools – end up joining the revolution?
With wisdom, nostalgia and uniquely observed humour, Ade traces his journey through life and comedy: starting out on the alternative scene, getting arrested in Soho, creating outrageously violent characters and learning more about his curious (possibly Scandinavian) heritage. With star-studded anecdotes and set to a soundtrack of pop hits which transport the reader through time, it’s a memoir like no other.
Nominated for Radio Times Moment of the Year for sharing his memories of Rik Mayall on Desert Island Discs.

If im honest as a huge rik and ade fan i was disappointed , he barely touches on much on bottom/young ones.
He spoke about 6 hours before anything even interesting came up i couldn't wait for it to end if im honest.
