Last Monday I attended the gladiatorial standup comedy competition, Beat The Frog, at Manchester’s Frog and Bucket comedy club. In the third and final part of this audio blog series, released this Tuesday, I will recount what unfolded on that night. But first, in parts one and two, I regale you with tales of my very first standup comedy attempts.

So, from last week’s blog post about Theresa May and the police, we seamlessly segway to a song involving Theresa May and the police, or a member of the Police, at least.

The concluding part of our reel-to-reel tape based detective story.

We’ve come along way with this investigation. Today we focus on the owner of the Reel-To-Reel recorder, Ken Cooper, as we go from barely knowing anything about him, to discovering a great deal. Hopefully there’ll be a final part, in which we get to chat with some of the people who were on this recording, made 55 years ago, but for now, here’s the penultimate instalment of our reel-to-reel based mystery.

Today we are thrown a bit of a curveball regarding David Cooper, yet we nevertheless seem to be edging ever closer to uncovering the people behind this mysterious old reel-to-reel recording.

Thanks to Abby for providing us with the various revelations in today’s episode of our investigation.
