Opinion: Comedian Adam Kay On The Genius of Tom Lehrer

Editor's note 2020: Before his current show Adam Kay did a show celebrating the work of Tom Lehrer. Beyond The Joke invited Kay to shed a little more light on Mr Lehrer.

Every so often I find myself interviewed by journalists – generally because some show I’ve written on is starting on TV and all the actors are busy – and I get asked the same fucking bunch of questions. (Except by the excellent Bruce Dessau though I’m sure.)

TV Review: Crims, BBC3

Well, this new sitcom certainly cuts to the chase. Luke (Elis James) has barely uttered a sentence while sitting in his car when his mate Jason (Kadiff Kirwan) jumps in and informs Luke that he is his getaway driver just as a posse of police cars pulls up and blocks their exit. Before you can say “how do you plead?” Luke is walking into the ill-named Sunnybank View Young Offender Institute and asking guard Dawn (Cariad Lloyd) if he is going to be bummed.
