Comedian Romesh Ranganathan previews his upcoming Tour

Brilliant Comedian Romesh Ranganathan previews his upcoming Tour- the Cynic's Mixtape.

What happens when you write a show to change the world… and the world still doesn’t change? ‘Still No Idea’ shines a light on all the ways theatre and art are still not accessible to everyone. 

It’s  part verbatim theatre, part comedy sketch show and Grant Stott will be talking to the stars of the show, Lisa Hammond and Rachael Spence.  

The great Martin Stephenson will preview his upcoming tour with the Daintees, and Grant will also talk to Comedian, Romesh Ranganathan about his latest show - the Cynic's Mixtape –  on tour around the UK and coming our way!

Directors, Mark Deeble & Victoria Stone discuss The Elephant Queen - a genre-crossing wildlife documentary, uniquely crafted as a character driven narrative, and Paul Carrack - the hugely respected singer-songwriter, discusses his latest release - The Independent Years – Live. He will also   preview his  extensive UK  2020 tour and look back over a remarkable career in music.

All that and our regular Book Group discussion on  I Heard You Paint Houses from author Charles Brandt;  it tells the incredible true story of the death of Jimmy Hoffa; perhaps the most famous ‘hit’ in Mafia history, and Martin Scorsese has adapted it for the big screen with his latest movie, The Irishman.
