A star for well over forty years, many will know Adrian Edmondson from his starring roles in The Young Ones, Bottom, Filthy, Rich and Catflap and many more comedy hits of the 80's and 90's but to many he's the actor behind The Last Jedi's Captain Edrison Peavey, and now Edmondson is hitting the road for an 11-date tour that takes him across the UK to discuss that amazing career and much more besides.
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 comedy revolution? Could it be in his Scandinavian (... possibly berserker) heritage?
Discover the story behind Adrian Edmondson’s journey to comedy in this riotous evening of storytelling to celebrate the release of his upcoming memoir, Berserker!
Live on stage, Edmondson will take audiences from his daysbreaking the rules at his brutal boardingschool to the comedy circuit of the eighties when he finally found his place in world. Edmondson willshare previously unheard stories from his comedy partnership with Rik Mayall who together created iconic sitcoms such as The Young Ones and Bottom and brought anarchy and eccentricity to stage and screen.
Now a British comedy legend, Edmondson will look back on his life and answer your own burning questions. Expect star-studded anecdotes and healthy dose of nostalgia from an extraordinary, comedy-filled life effortlessly weaved together by Edmondson’s unique wit and gift for storytelling.

Luke Skywalker, the world's most famous rockstar, has vanished. In his absence, the sinister music production company, FIRST ORDER ENTERTAINMENT, has risen and will not rest until the entertainment industry has been monopolized. With the support of other indie record labels, MILLENNIUM MUSIC leads a brave RESISTANCE. As First Order Entertainment grows more powerful, the only hope to stop them from dominating the industry may be the lost SKYWALKER ALBUM: Luke Skywalker's final work created before his sudden retirement, but mysteriously never released. A piece of the lost album has been discovered by Millennium Music's most daring new artist, but can he escape the clutches of the terrifying First Order legal team with the help of surprising new allies....

Edrison Peavey
My headcanon is that he’s a total family man. He’s portrayed by an actor who is 60 and Peavey has spent all his life in the Empire and First Order as an officer. That means access to high-grade medical stuff. I figure people are a little longer-lived in a GFFA than they are here, better preserved, too, so I put Peavey at being older.
I imagine him having a wife, six kids (two of whom are older than Armitage Hux) and, like, fifteen grandchildren. Maybe more. Several of his kids are on the Finalizer with him. He’s been lucky enough to be assigned to the same ship since it rolled off the construction line and was first commissioned, so he’s really attached to it and knows a lot of people on board. His wife would be an officer as well working in some other portion of the ship. He dotes on his grandkids and talks about them from time to time when off-duty. He’s the kind of guy who would never hit one of his kids. Or any kid.
Armitage keeps looking at him, trying to identify this emotion in his chest. It’s like envy or jealousy or something. But what he knows is that it’s really upsetting.
