A star for well over forty years, many will know Adrian Edmondson from his starring roles in The Young Ones, Bottom, Filthy, Rich and Catflap and many more comedy hits of the 80’s and 90’s but to many he’s the actor behind The Last Jedi‘s Captain Edrison Peavey, and now Edmondson is hitting the road for an 11-date tour that takes him across the UK to discuss that amazing career and much more besides.
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 comedy revolution? Could it be in his Scandinavian (… possibly berserker) heritage?
Discover the story behind Adrian Edmondson’s journey to comedy in this riotous evening of storytelling to celebrate the release of his upcoming memoir, Berserker!
Live on stage, Edmondson will take audiences from his daysbreaking the rules at his brutal boardingschool to the comedy circuit of the eighties when he finally found his place in world. Edmondson willshare previously unheard stories from his comedy partnership with Rik Mayall who together created iconic sitcoms such as The Young Ones and Bottom and brought anarchy and eccentricity to stage and screen.
Now a British comedy legend, Edmondson will look back on his life and answer your own burning questions. Expect star-studded anecdotes and healthy dose of nostalgia from an extraordinary, comedy-filled life effortlessly weaved together by Edmondson’s unique wit and gift for storytelling.
