British Comedy Guide

Radio Celebs

Comedy writers/performers who are only famous for their radio (and maybe publishing) work. Not counting the people in the "far past" where radio was a bigger medium-you know what I mean I'm sure...

Simon Brett
Sue Limb
Chris Emmett
Nigel Rees
Linda Smith (Not sure? Did do a bit of telly)
Chris Neill

Any more?

Ooh I dunno about Simon Brett. After Henry ran very successfully on television.

Maybe, not a TV presenter though.

Ah, well, presenting is a different matter. You didn't specify that! Granted. :)

Boothby Graffoe?

Patrick Barlow has done lots and lots of excellent radio work

A regular on a sketch/stand-up show, whose name escapes me, years ago IIRC.

I Googled him because I had similar thoughts. He has had some TV stuff but he is definetly better known for his radio work (he is a very funny guy and can heartily reccomended Tom Wigglesworth's Open Letters currently being replayed on iPlayer Radio).
