Venue: artsdepot, 5 Nether Street, Tally Ho Corner, North Finchley N12 0GA

Date/Time: Saturday 14th September

Info: Join the best-selling author and comedy legend as he publishes the latest volume of his adventure-filled diaries.

10 years since his last published diary, Michael unlocks volume four of his life and times, from 1999 to 2009.

As the centuries change and Michael heads into middle age, he’s busier than ever. In this new show, with the help of rarely seen photos and video, Michael brings these momentous times to life as he talks through this latest Diary to take us backstage on this most productive decade of his life, whilst always, in the background, showing us the wider world, one of infinite possibilities and new and unimagined dangers.
