Comedian Juliette Burton has launched a new website to look at how we define ourselves and our surroundings during lockdown.
The new website, Defined, evolved from the audience reaction to the tour of her show Juliette Burton: Defined. During the show Juliette set her audience the challenge to define themselves in just five words. No two people defined themselves in the same way.
Following their departure from Big Talk, Nira Park and Edgar Wright have teamed with long-term writer/director collaborator Joe Cornish and senior right-hand creative of ten years, Rachael Prior, to launch a new production company, Complete Fiction.
When I saw that Oliver Double’s new book about Alternative Comedy was £75 I assumed it was a massive doorstep tome that the postperson would never be able to carry. So I was surprised when (thank you Bloomsbury Press Office) a relatively thin 200-ish page hardback dropped through my letterbox.
Elis James, John Robins, The Guilty Feminist, James Acaster, Ed Gamble and Richard Herring are among the nominees for the British Podcast Awards 2020.
Finding themselves out of work and struggling to stay sane, stand up comedian Mark Olver, who has warmed audiences up for the every panel show going (including The Last Leg, HIGNFY, Would I Lie To You), has joined forces with TV producer Simon Gummer to create their very own comedy panel show.

Well at least one good thing has come out of this bloody pandemic. We've got another Wipe. And while this one was filmed under lockdown social distancing conditions it didn't really hit the production in the way it has hit something like the studio-based Mash Report as Wipes always rely on a mix of footage and Charlie "happy birthday twice” Brooker sitting alone. The only difference here was that his desk was made of cardboard.
