BBC Radio 2 - Radio 2's Comedy Showcase, Alex Lowe's Double Act

Sketches, monlogues and comedy banter with Alex Lowe and special guest Alistair McGowan.

Thirty minutes of sketches, monologues, characters and comedy banter with Alex Lowe and special guest Alistair McGowan.

The Alex Lowe Double Act unites Alex (The Peter Serafinowicz Show, Phoenix Nights, Clare in the Community) with Alistair McGowan, star of The Big Impression, for 30 minutes of sketches, monologues, characters and comedy banter.

The pair will do funny impressions - if Alex can twist Alistair's arm that is. And there are sketches with Barry from Watford, the elderly lifestyle guru from Steve Wright in the Afternoon; and Steven McMurdoch, Scotland's number one home computer expert. 

This comedy pilot is written principally by Alex and Alistair along with Ashley Blaker, Paul Putner, Jon-Luke Roberts, Jon Hunter and Holly Walsh, Joel Morris and Jason Hazeley.

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
