Helen Lederer - Not That I'm Bitter

Helen Lederer shares her story from being what her mother called a show-off to becoming a trailblazer in the male-dominated world of Alternative Comedy. A mix of joy, sadness, hilarity and startling self-revelation, Helen reveals how choppy the waters could be. Even in those ground-breaking, anti-Thatcher days, there was only room at the top for so many women. For the rest, it was as much a struggle to be seen and heard in the world of comedy as in any boardroom or workplace and just as difficult to avoid the predators. More than a story of one decade, the child of a Czech wartime refugee, Helen was never part of mainstream. She recounts the absurdity, success and failure that is her story.
