Poetry Puh-lease

3. Presley, Stanza & Cooper Clarke

Duration: 1 hour

First broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 ExtraLatest broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 Extra

Available for years

Comedy and poetry have always had strong links, with many comics and poets blurring the boundaries.

Comedian Kevin Eldon concludes his peek at either side of the fine line that divides them.

Last of three programmes featuring:

‘Sir Ralph Stanza’s Letter from Salford’ [Series. 2 6/6]

Special guest John Cooper Clarke.

‘Hovis Has Left the Building’

Along the way there is a rich mix of poetry that might be funny, sometimes cringe-worthy, occasionally absurd, sporadically nonsensical, but often brilliant.

Producer: Luke Doran

Made for BBC Radio 4 Extra and first broadcast in January 2015. Show less
