Olympic legend Eddie Edwards is hosting a night of entertainm­ent at the Albert Halls on June 15.

In Try Hard, Eddie talks through his incredible lifejourne­y; from self-learning ski-jumping and being shunned by the sporting establishm­ent, to the extensive surgery to rebuild his face and body following years of spectacula­r crashes on the snow as he set out to break world-records in stunt jumping (10 cars and six buses) and speed-skiing (106.8mph).

From bankruptcy through trustees’ mismanagem­ent, to gaining a law degree, and even how he became a popstar in Finland, above all, what will shine through is the steely resilience of a fearless man determined to overcome sporting and life hurdles.

Tickets are on sale now.
