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?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eNominated for \u003ci\u003eRadio Times\u003c\/i\u003e Moment of the Year for sharing his memories of Rik Mayall on \u003ci\u003eDesert Island Discs.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 'The Berserker from \u003ci\u003eThe Young Ones\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBottom\u003c\/i\u003e tells his story with self-effacing charm and no end of backstage anecdotes' - Ian Rankin\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 'Amazing' - Richard Osman\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 'Gloriously candid and wise all at once' - Sara Pascoe\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 'It is incredibly funny, but it is also a lot, lot more than that' - Miles Jupp\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 'More fun than reading Hegel, and also more enlightening' - Louis de Bernières\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unity Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43800337219781,"sku":"","price":28.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/6679\/3413\/files\/Berserker_630602bb-5f8e-4dc4-b593-7897250395a5.jpg?v=1719958114","url":"https:\/\/unitybooks.myshopify.com\/products\/berserker-an-autobiography","provider":"Unity Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
