"YES, INDEED charts, for the first time, Ben Elton's stellar career in the world of British comedy. From growing up in Catford, drama school at the age of 16 and the first faltering steps on the stage of the Comedy Store to Friday Night Live, The Young Ones, Blackadder, We Will Rock You and a career as a bestselling novelist (among other things), Ben has never taken the easy path to success. Packed with incident, humour and heartache, his autobiography tells the whole story and in so doing shines a light on the Eighties, the decade when Alternative Comedy truly came of age."
