YEOVIL LITERARY FESTIVAL 2023 EVENT

AN EVENING WIHT ADRIAN EDMONDSON: BERSERKER
Westlands Ballroom

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, Ade will take audiences from his days breaking the rules at his brutal boarding school to the comedy circuit of the eighties when he finally found his place in world. He'll share 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, Ade will look back on his life and answer your own burning questions. Expect star-studded anecdotes and a healthy dose of nostalgia from an extraordinary, comedy-filled life effortlessly weaved together by Edmondson’s unique wit and gift for storytelling.
