A frank and honest interview with the 2020 Britains Got Talent winner Jon Courtenay.

Writer, broadcaster and cultural commentator.Emma Freud was born into the world of literature with her father being the eminent politician and broadcaster Sir Clement Freud. Making her television debut presenting LWT's The Six O'Clock Show from 1986, Freud gained a reputation for her smooth journalistic style and in 1990 secured her own BBC2 afternoon chat show Plunder which celebrated her guest’s best TV moments in a frank interview setting. From January 1994, she inherited the famous lunchtime slot on BBC Radio 1 which later became Jo Whiley’s Lunchtime Social. Yet perhaps her biggest achievement is her contributions to the international charity Comic Relief with partner Richard Curtis in 1985 which has since become a British institution raising over one billion pounds for good causes both in the UK and around the world. I caught up with the creative powerhouse to talk family, charity and her recollections on a highly successful career in the Arts. Ladies and gentlemen Ms Emma Freud.

Writer and comedian Mo Gilligan swapped a life in retail for comedy in 2017 when his videos were spotted by Canadian rapper Drake who cited him on his instagram account. A quick rise to prominence within the UK comedy circuit attracted attention from TV producers who united him with the UK Grime artist for Channel Four’s The Big Narstie Show in 2018 followed by securing his own self titled Channel Four Friday night chat show earlier this year. I caught up with TV’s newest jostler to talk rap, comedy and his hopes for the future. Ladies and gentlemen Mr Mo Gilligan.

In a career spanning three decades, comedy writer and performer Julian Dutton has become a permanent fixture on both radio and television. The co-creator of Matt Lucas’s Pompidou, Julian assisted in the rediscovery of physical comedy since the popularity of Rowan Atkinson’s Mr Bean. Beyond slapstick, Julian has contributed to Alistair McGowan’s Big Impression which he saw successfully transition from Radio 4 to BBC One. I caught up with the writer and comedian ahead of his one man show at the Museum Of Comedy to talk heroes, live performance and his hopes for the future. Ladies and Gentleman Mr Julian Dutton.

Actor and comedian Michael Fenton-Stevens first came to public attention on the Spitting Image 1986 number 1 hit "The Chicken Song” before a cameo appearance in Only Fools and Horses in 1989. A string of successful cameos followed him into the nineties where he landed a role opposite the late Gary Olsen in the 1996 drama Pilgrim’s Rest. Yet possibly he’s best known for his role in the cult eighties sketch show Radio Active alongside Angus Deayton and the late Geoffrey Perkins. I caught up with the star of stage and screen to talk satire, sketches and the secret to being a successful supporting actor. Ladies and gentlemen Mr Michael Fenton-Stevens.

Writer, comedian and playwright Ben Elton burst on to the entertainment scene in the midst of the Alternative Comedy revolution of the early 1980’s co writing the cult anarchic sitcom The Young Ones alongside Rik Mayall and Lize Mayor. In 1985 Elton was put forward to update the variety format for eighties Britain when he secured a presenting role on Channel Four’s Saturday Live which made stars of Harry Enfield, Alexi Sayle and French and Saunders. With his on screen popularity growing, Ben was recruited by friend Richard Curtis to collaborate on the writing of the second series of the cult BBC2 sitcom Blackadder and remained a lead writer on the following three series. A reunion with Rowan Atkinson in the mid nineties resulted in the short-lived BBC sitcom The Thin Blue Line followed by securing his own BBC1 series alongside the legendary Ronnie Corbett. I caught up with the man of many talents to talk comedy, theatre and life back on the road. Ladies and gentlemen Mr Ben Elton.
