News: Mock The Week Line-Up Tonight

I can't confirm if it is definitely a first for Mock The Week but one of the stand-ups in tonight's line-up, Catherine Bohart, made the point on Twitter that that there are "Two redheads on one team??!! Living my fantasy tonight on @MockTheWeek."

The other redhead alongside flame-haired Irish rising star Bohart is pride of Brighton, Angela Barnes. I doubt if anyone is having a brilliant year, but Barnes has had her moments. She broke a record on Richard Osman's House of Games before Christmas, becoming the first guest to win all five episodes across the week.

Bohart has not had quite such a good pandemic. As she explained to Richard Herring in a recent podcast interview, she has split from her girlfriend. There was a certain irony to it because she had previously done a BBC Sounds podcast about relationships with her ex, entitled, You'll Do. At the time she said: "XXXXX and I love each over and at this point if we were to break up, the admin would be a nightmare."

On the plus side, if there is one, Catherine Bohart has been running online gigs for comedians missing the thrill of performance, entitled Gigless. In fact there is one tonight with special guest Richard Herring if you want to make it a Bohart-themed evening.

Also on tonight's show is the excellent Essex comic Michael Odewale, whose debut show #BlackBearsMatter, was nominated for Best Newcomer at the Edinburgh Festival and won Best New Show at the Leicester Comedy Festival.

Plus regulars Ed Gamble (check out his podcast Off Menu which he co-hosts with James Acaster) and Rhys James and Dara O Briain and Hugh Dennis. All in all, not a bad way to spend thirty minutes on a Thursday evening.  

Mock The Week, Thursdays, 9.30pm, BBC Two
