About This Item
London: Macmillan, 2023. 1st. h/b. Fine, 1st edition (signed to title).. 8vo (230 x 150 / 9"" x 6""). Ade Edmondson smashed onto the comedy circuit in the 1980s, stormed The Comedy Store and, alongside Rik Mayall, brought anarchy to stage and screen. How did a child brought up in a strict Methodist household Ð and who spent his formative years incarcerated in repressive boarding schools Ð end up joining the revolution? Well, he is part Norse. Could it be his ÔberserkerÕ heritage? 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 his 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, itÕs a memoir like no other. Berserker [noun]: A Norse warrior frenzied in battle and held to be invulnerable; often off his tits on henbane and large quantities of alcohol; one who is out of control with anger or excitement.
