Gyles Brandreth
Dropping Names, Selling Books!



We are joined by one of our most natural and gifted comic performers – writer, broadcaster and star of Just A Minute, Gyles Brandreth.
Gyles will be taking a whistle-stop tour through his latest books. Expect 60 second romps through British history, the seven secrets of happiness and why they matter, and a revisit of his life in Westminster, warts and all.
‘Brandreth has been an expert cheerer-upper for more than 60 years . . . full of fun, famous names and sparkling facts.’ – Daily Mail
Gyles will be introduced by Festival patron, actor and dramatist David Wood OBE
