The Adventures of Andy Kershaw
Sat 2 Jun 2018
Location: Guildhall Theatre
Running Time: 1 hour 50 minutes - approximate, including any interval(s).
About the event
An evening with the legendary broadcaster and foreign correspondent
Andy’s one-man show, The Adventures of Andy Kershaw, has become a hugely successful highlight of many literary festivals - including a sold-out appearance at Hay on Wye - and a popular draw at theatres and arts centres around the UK. Fascinating and often hilarious, the two
hour audio-visual presentation treats the audience to recollections from a life spent on the front lines of rock & roll, and on the front lines of some of the world’s most extreme and dangerous countries.
There will be a Q&A session following the talk.

Reviews
The finest British broadcaster bar none. A real broadcast journalist, a real achiever, a real someone, an amazing man - Stephen Fry
A national treasure and born again hero - Daily Telegraph
Passionate and furiously funny - Andy Kershaw is unfailingly fearless. - Dame Ann Leslie
A real rock-and-roll war correspondent. - Keith Altham
Andy Kershaw is such an enthusiast. He made me travel a little further than I normally do. He has an ability to do things first and ask questions afterwards. Not a recipe for a safe, secure life, maybe, but it makes things a lot more interesting for the rest of us. - Michael Palin
A gloriously cheeky bastard. Read his book. A handbook for our times - Pete Townshend
Andy Kershaw is a compulsive truth-teller and he does it with verve, wit and passion. He is one of the few truly original voices in broadcasting and his book is already a classic. - Fergal Keane
Andy Kershaw - without you we wouldn’t know nothin’! - Joe Strummer
He’s always wired himself up to the action. Keep it goin’, Andy! - Ralph Steadman
It’s his ability to convey a sense of moment-by-moment aliveness that makes AndyKershaw, the greatest living English-language broadcaster - Toby Litt
Kershaw has had one hell of a life... strange and comic - The Independent on Sunday
‘His radio appearances have become rare. He’s an intermittent eruption, making everything before and after sound as if it were made by zombies - New Statesman
Hilariously opinionated - The Independent
Intrepid to the point of lunacy, Kershaw escaped landmines and guns and has lived to tell us this admirable tale - Blues & Soul
