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?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNominated for \u003ci\u003eRadio Times\u003c\/i\u003e Moment of the Year for sharing his memories of Rik Mayall on \u003ci\u003eDesert Island Discs\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'The Berserker from The Young Ones and Bottom tells his story with self-effacing charm and no end of backstage anecdotes' - Ian Rankin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Amazing' - Richard Osman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Gloriously candid and wise all at once' - Sara Pascoe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'It is incredibly funny, but it is also a lot, lot more than that' - Miles Jupp\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'More fun than reading Hegel, and also more enlightening' - Louis de Bernieres\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Edmondson, Adrian","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":49438955340115,"sku":"XV81035014286","price":12.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/edmondson-adrian-berserker-xv81035014286-59026433474899.jpg?v=1726901420","url":"https:\/\/chaptersbookstore.com\/products\/berserker-1","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
