Language of Laughter

on BBC Radio 4 FM

Stand-up comedy is the throbbing heart of the world-famous British sense of humour. So what happens when that throbbing heart is transplanted to a foreign body, a country where they've never heard of stand-up at all? Julian Clary explores the bizarre reality behind a new trend that has seen British comics brave violence, crime, and total incomprehension, from Zagreb to Moscow, as they struggle to unite the world through laughter.
With contributions from Alexei Sayle , Robin Ince , Shappi Khorsandi and others. Producer Kate Taylor
