Janice Forsyth chats to impressionist, author and comedian Simon Lipson and Sanjeev Kohli.

Janice Forsyth chats to impressionist, author and comedian Simon Lipson and writer, actor and comedian Sanjeev Kohli.

Simon Lipson is a sketch artist, presenter, impressionist, stand-up comedian, musician and author. His second book Song in the Wrong Key is a comedy novel about a man who deals with losing his job by planning a comeback at the Eurovision Song Contest - with unfortunate consequences. 

Sanjeev Kohli also appeared in Comedy Unit programmes, most notably playing Naveed in Still Game. He's writing for Fags, Mags and Bags and is about to make his singing and songwriting debut on an album produced by Jan Burnett, of the Dundee indie band Spare Snare. He tells us why he thinks comedy writing doesn't have the reputation it deserves. 

Karen Koren is responsible for enhancing the reputation of comedy and Scottish comedians. She tells us about The Happyness in the Highlands Festival, which we heard a wee bit about from Bill Bailey on the last episode of the Comedy Café.
