From his harsh schooldays to the chaotic 1980s, Adrian Edmondson's Berserker! is a one-of-a-kind, humorous memoir. In the 1980s, Adrian Edmondson and Rik Mayall changed the comedy scene, bringing anarchy to the stage and screen. How did a young man raised in a conservative Methodist home end up joining the revolution? Ade Edmondson, with insight, nostalgia, and distinctively observed humor, traces his path through life and comedy. He began on the alternative scene, was arrested in Soho, created outrageously violent characters, and discovered more about his peculiar (possibly Scandinavian) ancestry. It's a memoir like no other, with star-studded anecdotes and a soundtrack of pop hits that take the reader back in time.
For sharing his memories of Rik Mayall on Desert Island Discs, he was nominated for Radio Times Moment of the Year.
