Adrian trained in studio drama at Manchester University, where he met Rik Mayall and formed the partnership that was to become Twentieth Century Coyote. In 1977 he took a one-man show to the National Student Drama Festival, and Twentieth Century Coyote appeared at the Edinburgh Festival to great critical acclaim and media interest; the show was recorded for Radio 4.
After Edinburgh came a period of touring with various two-man shows throughout Britain, until Adrian joined the number of talented artists then appearing at London’s Comedy Store. Throughout 1979 and 1980 Adrian made numerous appearances on the growing comedy circuit before going on to co-found the Comic Strip at the Boulevard Theatre in late 1980. He appeared in 29 episodes of The Comic Strip Presents... second only to creator Peter Richardson, playing different roles including Dick in the Five Go Mad… episodes and Vim Fuego, lead singer of Bad News – the subject of two send-up documentaries setting the scene for Spinal Tap!
Edmondson turned his hand to writing, penning six of the episodes, including the Bad News documentaries – the second of which he directed. He also directed Private Enterprise.
He went on to create the iconic character of Vyvyan Basterd in The Young Ones and teamed up once again with Rik Mayall to create the hugely successful BBC comedy Bottom. This partnership continued with the feature film Guest House Paradiso in 1999 and a series of Bottom live tours. Married to his Comic Strip co-star Jennifer Saunders, Adrian continued his long-term support of Comic Relief by appearing in 2005’s Comic Relief does Fame Academy.

Get the Adrian Edmondson mug.A boy who is trying to grow up too fast. They cuss a lot and use it in everyday language. He has lots of friends(which sometimes aren't too good) Some of them talk about him without him knowing, these are the friends they always talk good about. He drops a few real friends for a lot of fake ones. Sometimes Edixon is cool and fun and that's when people like him,other than that Edixon's are cool.

Get the Edmonton mug.Maxwell Edison is a serial killer dating from 1969. He had 3 victims, Joan, His Teacher and a Judge. Maxwell has 2 exes, Rose and Valerie. However, he does have a wife now, Sophia (me).
His life has been documented by Abbey Road Studios, and detectives John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. All the others except Det. Paul, dreaded working with Maxwell's life- they found it quite boring.
Maxwell was a uni student majoring in medicine. One night he called up a bird and asked her to go to the pictures- she said yes of course because maxwell is a dream boat.
