Helen is back with a bang! BookFest is delighted to welcome Helen Lederer to Portsmouth as part of her one woman tour for this special in conversation event about her new memoir Not That I'm Bitter. Expect lots of legendary funny stories from the outset and honesty about some of challenges she encountered. Helen Lederer is a writer, actress, comedian, and presenter.
Apart from TV, stage, and radio, she’s best known as Catriona, the dippy journalist in the TV series Absolutely Fabulous
although, her stay in the Big Brother house caused a different kind of notoriety. Her novel, Losing It
was nominated for the PG Wodehouse comedy literary prize. In 2019, Helen set up the Comedy Women in Print Prize (CWIP), to celebrate witty women writers. "Dizzy, dippy and divinely funny Helen Lederer takes you on an insanely readable tour through her chaotically wonderful life. Under her costume of the madcap and the daft, there ticks a very, very smart brain and
there beats a most warm and kindly heart. It’s a wonderful read."
