Our November headliner is the fantastic Marcus Brigstocke who is a major British comedy talent as writer, actor, presenter, and performer. It’s said he is heard on Radio 4 more frequently than the shipping forecast.
On television Marcus launched The Late Edition, the late night BBC4 answer to The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. He has hosted and appeared as a panellist on Have I Got News for You. He has also been on Steph’s Packed Lunch, House of Games, The Graham Norton Show and was a team captain on Argumental.
Marcus was the host of I’ve Never Seen Star Wars on both radio and TV, a regular on panel shows from QI to Just a Minute, and has even cropped up on Question Time, Newsnight, and This Week. In The Joy of Techs he met his friend Alexis Conran’s enthusiasm for the latest gadgets with his own tech-scepticism.
He’s even appeared on a No.11 chart ‘hit’ with DJ Dee-Kline - a logical progression from his very brief early career as a podium dancer.
Also on the bill with Marcus is twice Emmy-winning actor and comedian Fiona Allen who has been a mainstay of our TV screens over the past two decades as well as an excellent stand-up comedian.
She has starred in various sketch shows, including Goodness Gracious Me and The All Star Comedy Show, but most famously Smack the Pony. Fiona has also appeared in television dramas such as Dalziel and Pascoe, Coronation Street, in Happiness alongside Paul Whitehouse, and on film as Sandra in the film version of the famous Viz comic strip Fat Slags, and Smirgut the Fierce in Gladiatress. Most recently she has been in that little-known soap Eastenders.
Charmian Hughes is our fantastic MC for this event. Cornish comedy genius Matt Price opens this fantastic night.
