MON Comedy interview series. MON Producer ..... Carl Cooper MON Episodes in the chain include: MON Rebecca Front being interviewed by the man who knows her MON best, her big brother, Jeremy Front. MON Rebecca Front talking to her Thick Of It co-star and fellow MON non-nudist, Chris Addison, about working with Armando MON Iannucci and embracing his middle-classness through MON stand-up; MON Chris Addison in a rare interview with the MON actually-really-nice-and-he-doesn't-do-any-of-that-weird-stu MON f-in-real-life, Derren Brown; MON Derren Brown chatting hair, beliefs and Tim Minchin with MON comedy musical megastar and fellow sceptic Tim Minchin; MON A poorly Tim Minchin being handed tissues whilst attempting MON to interview with no questions a not-at-all-poorly and MON hilarious Caitlin Moran.

MON MON 23:30 Micky Flanagan: What Chance Change? b00sg13d (Listen) MON Episode 1 MON Cockney geezer Micky Flanagan regales us with the story of MON his journey from tabloid to broadsheet; from the street MON party to the dinner party; from apples and pears to stocks MON and shares... Well you've got the idea. MON Each week's episode focuses on a different decade of Micky's MON life. Micky regales us with stories from his life told MON through stand up comedy. In between, the programmes goes MON 'behind the scenes' with short interviews that give an MON insight into the stand up. MON In this opening episode Micky talks about growing up in the MON East End in the 1970's. He chats to his school friends about MON their shared experiences of leaving with no qualifications MON to work at Billingsgate Fish Market. He also interviews MON Sociology Professor Paul Willis about his research on MON working class boys in a 1970's school. MON Micky's transition from the mean streets of the East End, MON working as a Billingsgate Fish Porter to an entertainer MON living in the leafy lanes of Dulwich is a fascinating story, MON all the better for being told through jokes. The issue of MON class is a crucial theme in Micky's stand up. However it is MON framed less as "Do we now have a classless society?" and MON more as "Is it ok to ask for Tomato sauce in a fancy French MON restaurant?" MON The series is written and performed by Micky Flanagan. MON The producer is Tilusha Ghelani.
