Summary: From his unhappy experience at boarding school to finding enjoyment in sixth form, where he discovered drinking and smoking and petty acts of vandalism, to the glorious feeling of belonging in the early days of working in Soho at The Comic Strip, which would set him up to become a key player in the alternative comedy boom that changed the landscape of comedy forever, Ade Edmondson's road to acting has been far from straightforward or conventional. Berserker! is full of wisdom, nostalgia and uniquely observed humour; with reflections on the 1980-1990s alternative comedy scene and his own curious (possibly Scandinavian?) family background interwoven 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.
