UKTV has announced that Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders will reunite on screen to author a brand new two-hour special for Gold, French and Saunders: Funny Women. Filmed on the set of their classic sketch show, the much-loved duo will discover and discuss all of the crucial and unforgettable female contributions to the pantheon of comic history across the globe.
I guess this is the episode every fan of WILTY should be looking forward to. Bob Mortimer, the champion weaver of weird WILTY tales, is back on the show this evening.
Rob Brydon, Lee Mack and David Mitchell are joined by Mortimer, Samantha Morton, Miles Jupp and Sarah Hadland.
Can Mortimer top some of his previous classic moments where he talked about DIY dentistry, getting bath advice from Chris Rea and his talent for tearing apples in half?
At a time when weekdays and weekends are starting to blur into one for many, Thursday night feels like the start of the weekend for me because there are so many comedy programmes on TV and i personally used to think of Friday nights as comedy nights. The line-up of Mock The Week on BBC One at 9.30pm is particularly good tonight, with rising star of the moment Maisie Adam and Angela Barnes joining Milton Jones, Rhys James, Ed Gamble, Hugh Dennis and Dara O Briain.
Recipe box company Gousto has recruited superstar chef Gizzi Erskine, long-term ambassador Joe Wicks MBE and comedian and self-confessed foodie Katherine Ryan to launch Cookstarter, a campaign supporting Britain’s diverse food culture by helping independent restaurants thrive during the pandemic.
British Comedy Award winner Nina Conti is going back on tour.
The quick-thinking queen of ventriloquism brings you her pioneering new dating show. She’ll be like Cilla Black with masks. Derailed. Not so much a Blind Date as a re-voiced one. There’s no promise that true love will be found, but a firm guarantee that big laughs will be had in the reign of this ‘voice-throwing queen’ (Evening Standard).
Rhys James' 2020 tour dates have moved to 2021.
The Mock The Week regular and star of BBC Radio 4’s ‘Rhys James Is…’ heads back out with his show Snitch. Following its premiere at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August, Rhys James will be taking the show to venues across the UK during the autumn of 2019, through the spring of 2020, starting with a run at the Soho Theatre from October 1.
Katherine Ryan's debut book is to be published later this year.
The Audacity will be published by Blink on September 30, 2021
It will tell the story of Ryan's rise from working in Hooters to being one of the biggest comedy stars in the UK, having her own hit shows on Netflix and performing sell-out tours.
Chapters will include How to Potty Train Your Baby at 10 Months, How to Cut Off Your Racist Aunties, How to Marry Your High School Boyfriend and How to Co-Parent when you're a Single Mum.
Greg Davies is making a new comedy, Safe Space, for Sky One. The Taskmaster host has written and created it and will star in it as a demotivated small-time psychotherapist heading nowhere fast until fate intervenes in the form of a new client; his rising star local MP. A dark web of revelations leads to a serious breach of client confidentially in this tale of control, power and how idiotic it makes us.
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. This below is a version of an interview I did with Harriott for the Evening Standard in 2018 when he was previewing his new show, Visceral. In an honest, revealing chat he talked about his childhood in the Midlands and how his life could have turned out very differently.
I've become obessed with Richard Osman's House of Games during lockdown. Particularly since Angela Barnes made House of Games history by winning all fve episodes last autumn.
