Nigel Planer, beloved as Neil the hippy from The Young Ones and a founding figure of the ‘80s alternative comedy scene, brings his memoir Young Once to life in a warm, sharply funny live show of storytelling. Alongside the laughs, he will reflect on the bittersweet moments behind the scenes – the friendships, fame and rivalries, and the winding path of a creative life. Woven throughout the show is a moving, often mischievous account of the long, on-off-on-again love story between Nigel and his wife Roberta, and a life lived somewhere between the footlights and the fallout.
