Interview: Lockdown Rarely Asked Questions Special – Janine Harouni

2019 was a great year for Janine Harouni. The London-based New Yorker won the BBC Radio 4 Comedy Award, the Amused Moose Comedy Award and was shortlisted for Best Newcomer in the Dave Edinburgh Comedy Awards. 2020 was, well, not quite so good in terms of competitions and we all know why. But Harouni's online work solo and with sketch group Muriel has done well and she recently landed a part in Iain Stirling's new ITV2 flatshare sitcom Buffering, so hopefully 2021 will be ace for this bright rising star.

Interview: Lockdown Rarely Asked Questions Special – Helen Bauer

I can actually say I saw Helen Bauer do a show in flesh in the last year, which is something I can't say about many stand-ups. She appeared at an open air comedy gig at Lauderdale House in Highgate, North London between lockdowns. Not a drive-in, but a lovely, socially distanced gig where fans sat in designated squares on a lawn. It wasn't quite the future of comedy – it wasn't sweaty enough for a start - but it certainly worked.

2019 was a great year for Michael Odewale. His debut full length show, #BlackBearsMatter, was nominated for the Edinburgh Comedy Award Best Newcomer prize and won Best New Show at the Leicester Comedy Festival. 2020 wasn't so great and we all know why.

Interviews: Jamali Maddix and Judi Love on New Series This Is My House

Stacey Dooley hosts this brand new, prime-time series in which four people all claim to own the same house and be the same person. The catch: only one of them is telling the truth - the other three are actors.

The celebrity panel - Bill Bailey, Emily Atack, Judi Love, Jamali Maddix and guest panelist Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen - must correctly pick the true homeowner. If they get it right the homeowner wins a cash prize, get it wrong and the homeowner wins nothing.

Interview: Lockdown Rarely Asked Questions Special – Sophie Duker

Sophie Duker's career got a kick start in the summer of 2019 when she was nominated for the Dave Edinburgh Comedy Award Best Newcomer prize for her sharp, funny show Venus. Duker is witty, clever and not afraid to express her opinions on all sorts of hot potato issues. Just before the pandemic caused comedy clubs to shut down exactly a year ago, she was running and compering her successful Wacky Racists night.

Were you a fan of the show before you signed up?

Yeah, it’s great. I couldn’t believe I got asked to do it, I was so chuffed. Especially as I’m not a stand-up, I don’t write anything, so they’re taking a risk and I think they’ll see that they’ve taken a risk now that they’ve seen me in the studio!
