An Evening of (Very) Old Radio: the BBC then and now

by writer, stand-up comedian and broadcast historian Paul Karensa.

Written and performed by comedian, British Comedy Award-winning writer (Miranda, Not Going Out, Top Gear, Radio 2) and broadcast historian Paul Kerensa, this stand-up history show brings to life the BBC origin story via clips, props, tales and new research revealing under-heralded pioneers –
especially forgotten women – who began the genres we know and love. The evening informs, educates but above all entertains, about broadcasting’s first landmark moments and behind-the-scenes tales
of more recent TV/radio. From radio’s first music, drama, comedy and sport to behind the scenes of today’s radio and TV, via a century of Proms, Pips, Ships, Monarchs, Archers, Goons, Pythons,
Doctors, Traitors and more
