Alexei Sayle

Alexei will read from and talk about his recent book, Thatcher Stole My Trousers, which chronicles a time when comedy and politics came together in electrifying ways. Recounting the opening season of the Comedy Store, Alexei's experiences with Alternative Cabaret, The Comic Strip and The Young Ones, and his friendships with the comedians who, like him, would soon become household names, this event will be a unique and beguiling blend of social history and memoir.
