Books Autobiographies From brutal schooldays to 80s anarchy, through The Young Ones & beyond, Berserker! is the one-of-a-kind, fascinating memoir from an icon of British comedy, Adrian Edmondson. Berserker [noun]: A Norse warrior frenzied in battle & held to be invulnerable; often off his tits on henbane & large quantities of alcohol; one who is out of control with anger or excitement. Ade Edmondson smashed onto the comedy circuit in the 1980s, stormed The Comedy Store &, alongside Rik Mayall, brought anarchy to stage & screen. How did a child brought up in a strict Methodist household – & who spent his formative years incarcerated in repressive boarding schools – end up joining the revolution? Well, he is part Norse. Could it be his ‘berserker’ heritage? With wisdom, nostalgia & uniquely observed humour, Ade traces his journey through life & comedy: starting out on the alternative scene, getting arrested in Soho, creating his outrageously violent characters & learning more about his curious (possibly Scandinavian) heritage. With star-studded anecdotes & set to a soundtrack of pop hits which transport the reader through time, it’s a memoir like no other.

Berserk By Alex Kennen

I found a website asking people to write to prisoners on Death Row. I wanted a proper killer, and preferably one who'd mown down innocent bystanders with a machine gun. Now what 15-year-old can say they have a murderer as a pen-pal? Me, Chas Parsons, that's who. Chas thinks it'll be funny to get letters from a convict. After all, it's not like an inmate with a life sentence can turn up on his doorstep. Is it?
