The Portobello Bookshop present An Evening with Ben Elton at Edinburgh's Assembly Rooms on Monday 13th October. Elton will be in town for an evening 'in conversation' event as he discusses his one-of-a-kind (and one volume only) autobiography, What Have I Done?.
What Has Ben Elton Done…? For the first – and only – time, Ben tackles this question head on in his frank, forthright and hilarious memoir. Taking a deep dive into his life and times - both private and public - to reveal the true stories behind iconic hits like The Young Ones, Blackadder and We Will Rock You; his pioneering routines hosting Saturday Live, which birthed a revolution in stand-up comedy; and so much more.
After living sixty five years on the planet, forty-five of them in public, tickling many funny bones and getting on a respectable number of wicks, Ben has a lot of stories to tell, and he tells them unvarnished and uncensored – because that’s who he is.
Doors due to open at 6.45pm. Books will be available to collect at the venue on the night.
There will not be a book signing.
