BBC World Service - In the Studio, David Baddiel

Comedian David Baddiel invites listeners behind the scenes of his new show.

David Baddiel is one of Britain’s best-known comedians whose recent stage shows have blended comedy with deeply personal, and sometimes shockingly truthful, storytelling. Now he is at work on a new show, and the pressure is on to entertain the audience and say something meaningful about his chosen subject - online trolling.

Giles Edwards, who has worked with Baddiel for several years as his radio producer, spends time with him over several weeks as he prepares for and then debuts a work-in-progress version of the new show, and dissects it afterwards.

Starting their conversation en route to a radio recording, continuing at Baddiel’s home, and concluding backstage after his shows, we hear Baddiel discuss what works as comedy, the mechanics of putting the show together, and why understanding trolls – and not just dismissing them – matters so much.
