Harry Hill on his new comedy cabaret television programme

Harry Hill on his new comedy cabaret television programme, theatre and film director Peter Brook on staging Shakespeare, Caroline Crampton on film podcasts.

Harry Hill's Clubnite is a new cabaret TV show from the comedian featuring his choice of comic entertainers.  Harry talks to Stig about what he looks for in comedians, what makes him laugh and the nature of surrealism. 

The greatly renowned theatre director Peter Brook is 94 and has just written a book, Playing by Ear, reflecting on sound and music.  He talks to Front Row about the flow of a Shakespeare play, the power of an empty space and the significance of silence.

Podcaster Caroline Crampton gives her pick of the film podcasts you should be listening to, featuring a deep dive into the craft of acting, stories from Hollywood outsiders who made it big and insights into the art of writing music for film.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
