How did a child brought up in a strict Methodist household \u0026amp;ndash; and who spent his formative years incarcerated in repressive boarding schools \u0026amp;ndash; end up joining the revolution?\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;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 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\u0026amp;rsquo;s a memoir like no other.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;b\u0026gt;Nominated for \u0026lt;i\u0026gt;Radio Times\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt; Moment of the Year for sharing his memories of Rik Mayall on \u0026lt;i\u0026gt;Desert Island Discs\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt;.\u0026lt;\/b\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;The Berserker from The Young Ones and Bottom tells his story with self-effacing charm and no end of backstage anecdotes - Ian Rankin\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;Amazing - Richard Osman\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;Gloriously candid and wise all at once - Sara Pascoe\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;It is incredibly funny, but it is also a lot, lot more than that - Miles Jupp\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026amp;lsquo;More fun than reading Hegel, and also more enlightening\u0026amp;rsquo; - Louis de Bernires\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;","brand":"Rye Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45464412389597,"sku":"9781035014286","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/1368\/0730\/files\/9781035014286.jpg?v=1720081621","url":"https:\/\/ryebooks.co.uk\/products\/9781035014286","provider":"Rye Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
