Simon Rich has been Saturday Night Live's youngest writer, a staff writer for Pixar and a regular contributor to The New Yorker - as well as one of the funniest short story writers of his generation.

Now the American brings his enchanting, absurd world to radio with his first British comedy show.

The series takes us across time and space, from the design of the universe and prehistoric love triangles to the terrors of life as an unused condom inside a teenager’s wallet.

Performing the stories alongside Simon is a cast of UK comic talent:

Peter Serafinowicz
Tim Key
Cariad Lloyd
Jamie Demetriou
Joseph Morpurgo
Claire Price.

Producer: Jon Harvey
Executive Producer: Richard Wilson

A Hat Trick production for BBC Radio 4 first broadcast in June 2016. Show less
