Helen Lederer – Not that I’m Bitter In conversation with Lynsey Gilmour

Helen Lederer is a writer, actress and comedian. Apart from TV, stage and radio, she’s best known as Catriona, the dippy journalist in the TV series Absolutely Fabulous. More recently Helen has been starring in The West End in Fawlty Towers. Her novel, Losing It, was nominated for the PG Wodehouse comedy literary prize. In 2018, Helen set up the Comedy Women in Print Prize (CWIP) to celebrate and enable witty women writers, and has been responsible for creating many women’s writing careers.  

“Not that I’m Bitter” is Helen Lederer’s first full account of her life and in it she is in joyous flow, mixing startling self-revelation with nail-biting sharp observations. How can laughter defeat the darker moments, like her child’s anorexia, or despite enormous success, the constant self-sabotage of always feeling like a failure? Join Helen for a roller coaster evening as she chats with our own Lynsey Gilmour.
