SAT Drawing on his own performances, BBC archive and SAT contemporary experts, Tony traces the clown's evolution from SAT Shakespeare's plays, whose rustic clowns and court fools SAT could speak uncomfortable truths to those in power. He SAT recreates the role of "the Great Grimaldi", whose panto SAT clown became the most popular entertainment of Regency SAT London and defined the clown's image for generations to SAT come. Light is also cast on the popular 19th century SAT travelling circuses, the enormous appeal of pantos and SAT harlequinades and the successful careers - and often SAT tragically short lives - of entertainers like Dan Leno, once SAT hailed as "the funniest man in the world". SAT The days of organized leisure time for working people and SAT the growth of the middle class produced new diversions and SAT the era of mass entertainment. White-clad Pierrot troupes SAT entertained visitors at seaside resorts and troops abroad SAT as Britain descended into two World Wars. The tradition of SAT physical theatre and anarchic comedy clowning continued in SAT the latter half of the 20th century, with The Goon Show and SAT characters like Professor Wallofski, created by Max Wall. SAT Tony also explores the role of the clown today, still active SAT in circus and panto and even in political demonstrations. SAT Made for Radio 4 Extra by Pier Productions.

SAT Kerry is a married mother of two, a stand up comedian and SAT has two children. Her life can only properly function with SAT her daily list - if she didn't compile this vital list, her SAT life would simply fall apart. SAT Each week, this series looks at a different list and delves SAT into Kerry's madcap world by looking at various elements of SAT that week's list in sketches, narrative and stand up. SAT In this final episode, Kerry's List involves changing SAT sheets, buying a kids book on where babies come from, SAT getting her roots done, learning to knit, not drifting off, SAT reading a classic and dusting the plants. SAT Joining Kerry is her husband Ben (played by her real husband SAT Ben Abell) and her five year old daughter Elsie (played by SAT Melissa Bury) together with a range of bizarre characters - SAT including an enthusiastic council environment worker, some SAT disgruntled satsumas, a bored therapist, a Fairy Jeanmother SAT and a very keen gym instructor.

But his friend, Ford Prefect (who SAT hails not from Guildford, but somewhere near Betelgeuse), is SAT more concerned about the imminent destruction of the Earth. SAT Ford is a writer for the Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, SAT "the most successful book ever to have come out of the great SAT publishing corporations of Ursa Minor" and he may just know SAT how to avoid being evaporated by the Vogons... SAT The global multi-media success story that is "Hitchhiker's" SAT started life as a Radio 4 series in March 1978. The original SAT scripts by the late Douglas Adams then went on to spawn a SAT series of novels, a feature film, at least three stage SAT shows, a TV series, a computer game, a collection of comic SAT books - and various towels. SAT The Guide helpfully informs us that the most obscene SAT expletive in the galaxy is "Belgium". SAT Douglas Adams was born in Cambridge and died in 2001 aged SAT 49, after a fatal heart attack in his gym in California.

Well you've got the idea. WED Each week's episode focuses on a different decade of Micky's WED life. Micky regales us with stories from his life told WED through stand up comedy. In between, the programmes goes WED 'behind the scenes' with short interviews that give an WED insight into the stand up. WED In this opening episode Micky talks about growing up in the WED East End in the 1970's. He chats to his school friends about WED their shared experiences of leaving with no qualifications WED to work at Billingsgate Fish Market. He also interviews WED Sociology Professor Paul Willis about his research on WED working class boys in a 1970's school. WED Micky's transition from the mean streets of the East End, WED working as a Billingsgate Fish Porter to an entertainer WED living in the leafy lanes of Dulwich is a fascinating story, WED all the better for being told through jokes. The issue of WED class is a crucial theme in Micky's stand up. However it is WED framed less as "Do we now have a classless society?" and WED more as "Is it ok to ask for Tomato sauce in a fancy French WED restaurant?" WED The series is written and performed by Micky Flanagan. WED The producer is Tilusha Ghelani. WED WED 22:55 The Comedy Club Interviews b03yrl10 (Listen) WED The best in contemporary comedy.
