HELEN LEDERER | NOT THAT I’M BITTER

✨ A trailblazer of British comedy graces our stage.

Writer, comedian and cultural icon Helen Lederer joins the Isle of Wight Literary Festival 2025.

From the radical comedy clubs of the 1980s to Absolutely Fabulous, Coronation Street, and beyond, Helen has shaped the landscape of British humour — on screen, on stage, and in print.

🍋 📖 Her memoir, “Not That I’m Bitter”, is a fearless, funny, and moving exploration of life behind the laughter: breaking barriers, battling inner demons, and championing women’s voices in comedy.

🎤 Expect sharp wit, unflinching honesty, and stories that will make you laugh, reflect — and laugh again.
