Ben Elton

Barrel of Laughs: What Have I Done? A Memoir

 – Global Stage

What has Ben Elton done? What hasn’t he done? After no less than fifteen best-selling novels, writing for hit shows like Blackadder and The Young Ones, creating The Thin Blue Line, three West End plays and three musicals (and that’s only scratching the surface of writing credits), Elton has finally written something about his own life. Expect unvarnished, uncensored and undeniably funny recollections from 45 years of making the nation laugh.
