PUNT & DENNIS FINALLY ON TOUR AGAIN!
PUNT & DENNIS in GROWN MEN. IN PUBLIC.
Steve Punt and Hugh Dennis, stars of The Now Show (BBC Radio 4) and
It's Been A Bad Week (BBC Radio 2) first worked together in the Mary Whitehouse Experience (BBC 2). Hugh Dennis is also a regular in My Hero (BBC 1).
April 2004 sees them on the road with their first live show since 1792 – the famous “Milkie Milkie Toure of Great Brittaine”. Basically, they decided that if Tony Benn and Postman Pat can do live shows, so can they. So here they are. They may not have Postman Pat’s high-tech stage effects, or Tony Benn’s dance numbers, but they have some microphones, some new material, and a big sign saying “Stage.” It’s 140 miles to Heston Services. They’ve got a full tank of gas. It’s dark. And they’re wearing sunglasses. Hit it.
P.S. Owing to recording of a new series of My Hero, the part of Hugh Dennis may be played by an actor.
P.P.S. Anyone talking in the foyer about how much Steve looks like Eric Idle will be refused admission.
“most astute, sharpest comedy series of 2002. Their satirical slant on the week’s news has lit up Radio 4, set Radio 2 twinkling and brought comfort to all those who have begun to despair of the folly of politicians and utter gloom of the news.” Daily Telegraph
“ a trademark of quality comedy” The Times

BRIAN APPLETON in “The Very Best Of The Doors (in my home)”.
RBM presents
BRIAN APPLETON in
“The Very Best Of The Doors (in my home)”.
Selly Oak’s most bitter man-rock musicologist and part-time lecturer in media studies, Brian Appleton, takes to the road with a new spoof lecture tour, after the success of his previous tours – ‘Brian Appleton’s History of Rock ‘n’ Roll’ [An inspired creation …SPINAL; TAP watch your back” The Irish Times], and ‘Let’s Look At Sound [“Ambient Comedy at it’s best” The Scotsman].
Brian’s BBC Radio 4 shows include BRIAN APPLETON'S HISTORY OF ROCK 'N' ROLL and BRIAN APPLETON’S CHRISTMAS SINGLES 2003. On television he presented ELVIS LIVES (CH4) and was a guest on TOP TEN (VH1). He’s also toured with the popular band BELLE & SEBASTIAN.
Brian is joined by Goole concreter and would-be after dinner raconteur, Dave Tordoff (laser screening a specialty) “His ignorance is comical bliss” Evening Standard
Both Brian and Dave are the creations of Graham Fellows, also known for Jilted John and Radio 4 favorite, John Shuttleworth. “A subtle dark compelling invention. BANAL, FUNNY and FASCINATING all at the same tine”. The Guardian.
