Radio review
During lockdown, it seems like every gig-starved comic has decided to dash off a book, unanimously deciding that literature, not grubby gigging, is their true calling.
Kudos, then, to Adrian Edmondson who has declared himself ‘not quite ready to commit to an autobiography’ - even though he’s surely got better reason than most to recall his 40-year career.
Instead, he’s tipping his toe into the waters of memoir with this five-part series, stripped every night this week on Radio 3 – which is not perhaps the most obvious place to find a man who shot to fame as an ultra-violent Mohican-haired punk psychopath.
