Joining Kate this week is the Madchester singer/songwriter and lead signer for Happy Mondays and Black Grape, Shaun Ryder. He talks about the ‘eureka moment’ of getting his ADHD diagnosis last year and how his learning disability has contributed to his history of drug abuse, and shares stories from his early songwriting career to working with Damon Albarn.

This week we're bringing you some of our favourite laugh out loud moments on WWQT so you can start your week off right!
First up, we have ultimate funny man Brian Conley, who revisits the time he met Tom Cruise and absolutely put his foot in it - oops! Then we have one of our favourite comedians, Joe Pasquale who tells us about the dangers of moose antlers and how they very nearly killed him. Plus, we've got the brilliant Tom Allen who talks about his late father, who was the complete chalk to his cheese, and recounts the moments that made it VERY clear they were polar opposites.
If you love what you've heard, you can listen to the full episodes here: Brian Conley, Joe Pasquale and Tom Allen.

Something from the Cellar: Big Laughs

Today's guest is a celebrated actor who can seamlessly turn his hand to any number of different roles - be it TV dramas, comedy blockbusters or Tony-nominated runs on Broadway. It's the lovely Stephen Mangan!
After almost becoming a lawyer and instead finding his way to acting after real tragedy, Stephen's gone on to enjoy a hugely successful career on stage and screen. He chats to us about his love for his huge Irish family - he has 52 first cousins! - as well as the importance of a varied CV and how sudden loss can often lead us to becoming more reflective and thoughtful versions of ourselves.
