Torbay Literary Festival: Helen Lederer

Helen Lederer The third funniest woman in the world Dawn French
Helen Lederer is one of the most recognisable female comics on television. From Absolutely Fabulous to Bottom she has can offer insights into the world of comedy like almost no-one else. Her autobiography Not That Im Bitter tells the story of Helens journey from what her mother called a show off to becoming a trailblazer in the male-dominated world of Alternative Comedy. She has just finished a West End appearance playing the notorious Mrs Richardson in Torquays Fawlty Towers. However, this August, she will appear in Torbay, for real, in what promises to be both a hilarious and revealing interview.
Helen will sign books after her talk, and questions can be e-mailed in, in advance, in the usual way to questions@torbayliteraryfestival.co.uk
