Nigel Ng was one of a select band of comedians nominated for a Edinburgh Comedy Award Best Newcomer prize in summer 2019. His debut show was a big hit at the Fringe and a gala show was followed by a run at the Soho Theatre in February 2020. And, well, we all know what happened next.

Update 17/4/23 - Rose Matafeo can be seen for the next two weeks alongside Alexander Armstrong on Pointless.
Rose Matafeo won the Edinburgh Comedy Award in 2018 for her breathtakingly brilliant show Horndog, which took in pop obsessions, ping pong, dating dramas and much more. This is a version of an interview I did with the New Zealand-born comedian for the Evening Standard when she brought the show to London that autumn.
Darren Harriott is very much on the rise at the moment. He has become a television panel show regular and has appeared on Live at the Apollo - he once worked on security at the same venue.

In an honest, revealing chat he talked about his childhood in the Midlands and how his life could have turned out very differently.

Lockdown comedy Staged, with David Tennant and Michael Sheen, returns on the 4th January at 9.45pm on BBC One.
What can you tell us about the new series of Staged?
Michael: David and I are still being ridiculous with and about each other - that’s still very much the tone of it. We have a lot of amazing surprise appearances which I hope people will enjoy as much as David and I enjoyed doing the scenes with them.
