Bearded Ladies

Just a quick post to give a well deserved plug (ah, the power of micro-publicity) to the forthcoming Bearded Ladies sketch show series on Radio 4 (a six-week run starting Tuesday 9th August at 6.30pm). Cello, Pashmina, Mr Pashmina and I had a great time watching the last show being recorded at the Drill Hall on Friday night.

It's always heartening to come across truly funny women, especially when two of the truly funny women in question were also partly responsible for writing one of the Greatest Sitcoms Of Our Time. And it was even better to meet Ori afterwards and discover that, as suspected, all GW writers are as lovely as they are talented. Marvellous stuff.

Ah, Mr Snake. I've been expecting you. Welcome.

Well, the door was open and I couldn't help but wander in.

Wander? Slither surely. Or sidle perhaps.

Good luck to them, it has to better than the current crop of 'hilarious' middleclass comedy that Radio 4 puts out.

If it's really bad don't they immediately get a stab at a BBC 2 show as well?

Green Wing wasn't bad so fingers crossed - it will be nice to be able to listen to R4 at 6.30pm outside of Monday and Friday.
