BBC Radio 4 - Stand-Up Specials, George Fouracres: Black Country Gentlemon

A stand-up special from Wolverhampton's own, George Fouracres.

George Fouracres tells his story of growing up living with his grandad and brothers in Wolverhampton.

A stand-up special from celebrated comedy star George Fouracres (Daphne, Pls Like, Raised by Wolves), who tells his story of growing up living with his Grandad and brothers in Wolverhampton.

Expect tales of wearing a bowtie on childhood trips to McDonalds (always dress for dinner), being woken up at 4:30am by his Grandad’s screeching mynah bird in the kitchen and really really wanting to become a priest.  This is the story of George's love for the Black Country and how his eccentric upbringing has made him a true Black Country ‘Gentlemon’.
