Off the back of the news of Live From The Apollo - just a reminder that BBC Radio 4 continues to commission lots of stand-up! We have a dedicated feed on BBC Sounds called Stand-Up Specials including a mixed bill show called Live From The UK hosted by Angela Barnes which is back this Autumn!

In Bradford today for Contains Strong Language Fest with fellow R4 Com Eds Alison (Drama) and Matthew (Arts). Pissing it down all day. Didn’t detract from great live edition of Loose Ends with Edith Bowman as host and a playback of Jeremy Dyson’s new drama with Q&A with Mark Gatiss

Yes, alas Helen is detained in America. Not for criminal reasons but because her day-job at @theatlantic is currently full-on. You will hear from her in this week’s episode, though. Listen out …

Great to attend this Climate Assembly event hosted by @georgemonbiot.bsky.social with a cracking panel of @mikaelaloach.bsky.social @elpinchbeck.bsky.social and Zack Polanski with a blistering wrap up speech from Fergal Sharkey. Heartening to see so many others believe in facts, science and hope 🌈🤓

I struggled to reproduce the BBC post from X yesterday, but wanted to get these words here about Bill. Bill has been a huge part of Radio 4 comedy for decades, as a writer and producer, and listeners will have heard his legendary name at the end of many of their favourite shows…

Very well put. We’re all devastated at this news. He was such a talent and a brilliant character and mentor. He cared about such a wide range of issues and subjects. Huge loss, very cruelly taken. His influence remains.

This is exactly what we need today - no better than @evanhd.bsky.social with his calm incisive approach. On BBC Radio 4 shortly and BBC Sounds live 5-6 special programme

Been brilliant to hear the second series of Janey’s show again over this month. Felt like she had so much more to say. Two lovely series here - a masterclass in honest and hilarious storytelling. Also with Ashley - fellow comic and daughter - they are so funny together www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand...
