Martin Jarvis performs a classic Jeeves story in front of a Cheltenham Festival audience.

In a one-man tour de force, Martin Jarvis performs the first of two Jeeves and Wooster stories, for a packed audience at the Cheltenham Festival of Literature. Laughs galore!

Martin Jarvis performs 'Jeeves and the Song of Songs', the first of two of P.G. Wodehouse's celebrated stories, starring blithe Bertie Wooster and his urbane valet Jeeves. Recorded in front of a live audience - it was a highlight of last year's Cheltenham Festival of Literature.

In this one-man tour de force, as well as the characters of Jeeves and Wooster, Jarvis also characterises the bleating Tuppy Glossop, controlling Aunt Dahlia and about a thousand costermongers. Laughs galore!

Jarvis's previous one-man R4 Wodehouse received outstanding reviews. The Times: 'Outshining all was Martin Jarvis in the funniest performance of the year... an astonishing one-man tour-de-force...Jarvis caught the essence of Wodehouse's writing in a way I thought only possible through reading'.

Martin Jarvis received a Theatre World Award for his performance as Jeeves in 'By Jeeves' on Broadway.
