Critics Review

Absolute Pandemonium is exactly what you would expect only louder, taller and bigger and more so … pleasingly bonkers and bloody entertaining. – Viv Groskop * Observer *
The pages of Absolute Pandemonium reverberate with the sound of that inimitable voice and his appetite for life. – Andy Miller * Sunday Express *
The beauty about actor, adventurer and Everest climber Brian Blessed’s uproarious memoir is that his huge voice leaps out at you from every page. * Belfast Telegraph *
He bursts onto the page and then roars through his experiences. It’s very funny. * The Stage *
