Ben Elton

What has Ben Elton done?

He’s written the most eagerly awaited show business autobiography of the year, and now he’s doing a book launch tour. That’s what.

To celebrate the release of What Have I Done?, Ben Elton will be interviewed live on stage by HG Nelson, to share stories from his extraordinary life and career. 

From The Young Ones and Blackadder to We Will Rock You and Upstart Crow, Ben has helped shape the cultural landscape for over four decades – and now, for the first time, he’s telling it all.

This unmissable live event will see Ben dive deep into his life’s most revealing moments: the behind-the-scenes triumphs and chaos, the personal and professional highs and lows, the revolution in stand-up comedy, and that ever-present ‘little bit of politics’.

Known for his sharp wit, boundless energy, and unflinching honesty, Ben holds nothing back as he reflects on sixty-five years of life, laughter, and the occasional controversy. Whether you’ve followed him since Saturday Live, or only just discovered Upstart Crow, this is your chance to hear the stories that didn’t make the press – live, unscripted, and utterly unforgettable.

Expect candour, comedy, and a career like no other.
