Stephen Mangan
The London Comedy Film Festival 2023 (LOCO) has announced its full programme of screenings at Hackney Picturehouse 11-14 May 2023.
Stephen Mangan returns as host with Dame Joan Bakewell when Sky Arts embarks on a search across Britain and Ireland for a new star of landscape painting with a brand-new series of Landscape Artist of the Year, airing on Sky Arts, Freeview and NOW on 11th January 2023. The eight episode series consists of five heats, a semi-final, a final and a prize commission.
Stepehen Mangan will host the first episode of the new series of Have I Got News For You.
Paul Merton and Ian Hislop will be in their usual chairs and the guest panellists will be Ross Noble and Ria Lina.
This will be the 62nd series of the enduring topical quiz.
In the second episode on October 15, Alexander Armstrong will guest present and joining him will be BBC news broadcaster Mishal Husain and comedian Geoff Norcott making his debut.
Comedians Micky Flanagan and Omid Djalili will be among of the subjects sitting when Stephen Mangan and Joan Bakewell return in 2020 for a new series of Portrait Artist of the Year.
For the sixth year running, the series will see aspiring artists compete to see who has what it takes to be crowned Portrait Artist of the Year 2020. Throughout the series we will see 24 celebrity sitters from the worlds of stage, screen, sport and music become the subject for our painters.
West End production The Man In The White Suit is to close early.
The producers issued a statement about the decision: "Despite winning praise from audiences, sales for the show have not proved strong enough and producers have taken the difficult decision to end the run early."
The show, starring Stephen Mangan in the role made famous by Alec Guinness in the Ealing Comedy film of the same name, was due to close on January 11, 2020. It will now close on December 7, 2019.
I was faced with a slightly awkward situation when it came to reviewing The Man In The White Suit. I couldn’t get to the press night but had two tickets for the second night so invited a friend. Then in the morning I read the reviews, which mainly ranged from three stars to a rather mean-seeming one star in The Times. So what’s the etiquette? Tell my friend not to come? Cancel my own ticket? Or be professional and go and book a nice table for dinner as pre-emptive compensation?
Stephen Mangan is to star in a stage version of the classic Ealing Studios comedy The Man in the White Suit, which will play a three week season at Theatre Royal Bath, prior to receiving its world premiere at Wyndhams Theatre in preview from September 26th with an opening night of October 8th. The production will be directed by Sean Foley and will star Mangan as Sidney Stratton and Kara Tointon as Daphne Birnley. Set and costume design will be by Michael Taylor.
Boy oh boy that Stephen Mangan has a hell of a work ethic. As well as appearing in lots of other shows he now stars in Hang Ups, a UK version of the US hit Web Therapy, in which he plays online therapist Richard Pitt. Not only that but it's made by his production company. And he also writes it. Well, I say writes it, the programme is largely devised via improvisation with a stellar cast. And judging by the first episode it works a treat.
Hard-working Stephen Mangan talks about his new sitcom Hang Ups below. It starts on Channel 4 on August 8 at 10pm.
Explain a bit about the show – what’s Hang Ups all about?
Stephen Mangan is to join Joan Bakewell as co-presenter of Sky Arts’ hit shows Portrait Artist of the Year and Landscape Artist of the Year.
The news follows Frank Skinner’s decision to step down from his hosting duties on the series. Frank presented three series of Landscape Artist and four series of Portrait Artist alongside Joan, helping to establish the shows as the most popular series on Sky Arts.
