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?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’s a memoir like no other.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNominated for Radio Times Moment of the Year for sharing his memories of Rik Mayall on Desert Island Discs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'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'Gloriously candid and wise all at once' - Sara Pascoe'It is incredibly funny, but it is also a lot, lot more than that' - Miles Jupp‘More fun than reading Hegel, and also more enlightening’ - Louis de Bernières\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Far From The Madding Crowd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45438302519555,"sku":"9781035014316","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0404\/3207\/4914\/files\/9781035014316.jpg?v=1731409373","url":"https:\/\/www.maddingcrowdlinlithgow.com\/products\/9781035014316","provider":"Far From The Madding Crowd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
