‘What Have I Done?’ by Ben Elton

Hardback, Macmillan, £25

Whether you know Ben Elton as the alternative and overtly political stand-up comic from the 1980s, as an author, a playwright, sitcom writer or actor you will find so much more here.

He has packed plenty into his 66 years, including a long marriage and three children.

He talks honestly about his relationships with brilliant friends, inspiring contemporaries, and occasional foes. His life off-screen has been as challenging and funny as it has been on, and he unpacks it all with witty insight. For decades, Ben’s been making people laugh, think, and getting on wicks - these are the uncensored stories.
