Helen Lederer: "I've never been on the winning team when it matters"

Helen Lederer is a writer, actress and comedian. She began her career on the alternative comedy circuit, performing alongside many of today’s household names, and quickly landed roles in iconic sitcoms such as Absolutely Fabulous, Bottom and Girls on Top. Since then she’s appeared on TV and radio, written bestselling books and set up the Comedy Women in Print prize. Despite this, Helen admits she often struggles to believe in her own success. She tells James about her fascination with status and explains why she feels she has never quite made it to the top.

Not That I’m Bitter - A Truly, Madly, Funny Memoir by Helen Lederer is out now.
