Ben Elton鈥檚 career began in Britain's alternative comedy scene in the 1980s - and over the last 44 years, he's since built a name for himself.
He's become a recognisable name in the world of stand-up comedy and he's also written many notable works, including The Young Ones and Blackadder.
He also created musicals We Will Rock You and The Beautiful Game with Andrew Lloyd Webber.
