Ade Edmondson is currently playing a middle-aged, middle management character, in Neville's Island in the Theatre in the Park at Chichester.
In this year's final of Celebrity Masterchef, screened on BBC1 on Friday 6 September, Edmondson triumphed despite stiff competition from actor Les Dennis and journalist Janet Street-Porter.
His three-course meal of venison with celeriac and lambs lettuce, sea bass stuffed with scallop mousse and strawberries in a caramel syrup with shortbread and a raspberry sorbot wowed judges Greff Wallace and John Torode.
In Neville's Island, alongside Rufus Hound, John Marquez and Tim McMullan, he plays Gordon in a dark comedy about a disastrous outward bound team-building excercise.
The show runs until 28 September 2013 in the Theatre in the Park at Chichester.
