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. *****'The bravest, most affecting celebrity book of the year' - Daily Express'The Berserker from The Young Ones and Bottom tells his story with self-effacing charm and no end of backstage anecdotes' - Ian Rankin'Amazing' - Richard Osman*****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 �?" and who spent his formative years incarcerated in repressive boarding schools �?" end up joining the revolution? Well, he is part Norse. Could it be his �?~berserker�?T 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, it�?Ts 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. *****'Everything Adrian Edmondson writes about makes you love him desperately' - Caitlin Moran'This is a bloody good book.
