Teenage Kicks: A Full-Cast BBC Radio Comedy

"Ade Edmondson stars in this hilarious sitcom about an aging punk rocker forced to move into a student flat with his kids - much to their annoyance Ex-rocker Vernon (Adrian Edmondson) is a former front man for a punk rock band called The Plague. After living off his wife for the last two decades and spending most of his time in the pub, the two are getting a divorce and he has to move in with his kids. He is genuinely excited about having the chance to be young again, but Max and Milly – and their flatmate David – are mortified. Meanwhile Bryan (Ben Elton) Vernon's best mate and a former member of his punk band, is the deputy head of a smart primary school and has a nice house, a nice car, a nice life and a good marriage - all of which, in Vernon's eyes, makes him a sad loser. Deep down, part of Bryan agrees. Can Vernon grow up, before his kids throw him out? It’s fifty years since punk stormed onto the music scene, and the music still packs a punch today. Jammed with classic hits from The Sex Pistols, The Stranglers, The Ramones and, of course, The Undertones, this laugh out loud comedy is a true listening treat. If you’re a fan of Bottom, The Young Ones or Vent then you’ll love this series, now with all six episodes available as a complete collection for the first time.

Berserker!: The deeply moving and brilliantly funny memoir from one of Britain's most beloved comedi

"Hilariously read by the author, Adrian Edmondson. A Financial Times Best Audio of 2023 The instant Sunday Times bestseller From brutal schooldays to 80s anarchy, through The Young Ones, Bottom and beyond, Berserker! is the one-of-a-kind, fascinating memoir from an icon of British comedy, Adrian Edmondson. ***** 'Everything Adrian Edmondson writes about makes you love him desperately' - Caitlin Moran 'The Berserkers from The Young Ones and Bottom tells his story with self-effacing charm and no end of backstage ancedotes' - Ian Rankin 'This is a bloody good book. Lots of people live interesting lives, but very few people can write genuinely interesting books about those lives. Adrian Edmondson has done both. It is incredibly funny, but it is also a lot, lot more than that' - Miles Jupp 'More fun than reading Hegel, and also more enlightening' - Louis de Bernières 'A hilarious romp through a golden era of comedy and a searingly honest and moving memoir' - Red Magazine 'The bravest, most affecting celebrity book of the year' - Daily Express 'Edmondson can be very funny and very poignant simultaneously' - Daily Mirror ***** Ade Edmondson smashed onto the comedy circuit in the 1980s, stormed The Comedy Store and, alongside Rik Mayall, brought anarchy to stage and screen. 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? Well, he is part Norse. Could it be his 'berserker' heritage? 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 his 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 listener through time, it's a memoir like no other. Berserker [noun]: A Norse warrior frenzied in battle and held to be invulnerable; often off his tits on henbane and large quantities of alcohol; one who is out of control with anger or excitement."
