Gyles Brandreth is a writer, broadcaster, former MP and Government Whip – and one of Britain’s most sought-after award ceremony hosts and after-dinner speakers. A reporter on The One Show on BBC1 and a regular on Radio 4’s Just a Minute, his many books include The Oscar Wilde Murder Mysteries and the No 1 best-seller: The 7 Secrets of Happiness.
His one-man show Looking for happiness won multiple five star reviews at the Edinburgh Fringe and played at the Leicester Square Theatre in London in 2014.
He speaks without notes or a script and the many topics of the evening can include anything from political gossip about his time at Westminster to his love of all things Oscar Wilde, Scrabble and novelty jumpers! Indiscreet and achingly funny, this is a show that will leave you laughing and wishing for more!
Gyles’ show starts at 5pm on the Ventnor Winter Gardens and is followed by book signing.
