Berkshire-born writer, political campaigner and funny man, John O'Farrell, talks about his 25 years in the comedy business. During the 2005 general elections, O'Farrell raised hundreds of thousands of pounds for the Labour Party by penning and publishing humorous letters to party members. He was also one of the lead writers on satirical puppet show 'Spitting Image', he founded NewsBiscuit and recently released his fifth novel, 'The Man Who Forgot His Wife'.
Lunch will be included in the ticket price (to inquire about tables, email: info@firststory.org.uk), after which O'Farrell will be signing copies of his book. All proceeds from the event will go towards First Story's creative writing projects in challenging UK secondary schools.
