Not That I’m Bitter: Helen Lederer with Bryan Burnett

Comedy, Memoir, Feminist

Join actress and comedy legend Helen Lederer in conversation with BBC Scotland’s Bryan Burnett for an unfiltered, laugh-out-loud look at her new memoir, Not That I’m Bitter.

From Absolutely Fabulous to French & Saunders, Helen has been a familiar face on British TV for decades. Not That I’m Bitter tells the story of her journey from being, what her mother called, a “show-off” to becoming a trailblazer in the male-dominated world of alternative comedy.

Her memoir is a mix of joy, sadness, hilarity and startling self-revelation - woven together with a witty narrative that delivers real punch. This is a powerful, frank, moving and characteristically hilarious account, revealing exactly how choppy the waters could be.

Bursting with big laughs and poignant moments, Helen brings her life story from the page to the stage for an evening of brutally honest and brilliantly funny anecdotes.
