Wow it’s a great time to be a radio and comedy enthusiast. As well as the phenomenal stand-up scene in London at the moment, a quick glance at Radio 4 Extra’s comedy page shows a wealth of BBC comedies going back 40 years, all available on demand.

DWS – Stand up comedy

19Apr11

This is me trying out some new material at the Cavendish Arms in Stockwell a couple of months ago. I’m still pretty new to it all, so I’d love to hear any thoughts. Cheers folks! P.S. The Cavendish Arms is awesome. Great place to perform and watch comedy.

Loads of very clever videos, and he does […]

2011 – great year or greatest year?

10Jan11

Well, 10 days into the new year and it’s all rather average. I’ve cooked some decent recipes, had a couple of runs and tinkered around with building a website (still no go on that – easy to build the bugger; harder to make it look awesome). Most of the time though is taken up with […]

We’ll be featuring some comedians from the LSE comedy night, Mavericks, and you can listen live here. (It’s also […]
