Micky Flanagan

Frank Skinner takes a light-hearted look at a topic the British can never quite escape - class. He's joined by comedians Roisin Conaty, Miles Jupp and Micky Flanagan, who embark on various class-oriented missions, before bringing their findings to a studio audience. Conaty goes on a date with a man who struggles with the concept of fish fingers, Flanagan tries to get to the bottom of Modern Art, and Jupp has his home counties accent softened to see if he can fit in at the local market.

Micky Flanagan: The ragged-trousered controversialist

Micky Flanagan tells The Independent why he gave up teaching for stand-up and why he doesn't joke about Margaret Thatcher.

Micky Flanagan interview

A bona fide cockney who was born in Whitechapel and grew up in Bethnal Green, Micky Flanagan took his time to come to comedy, but over the last ten years has carved out a niche for himself on the scene and on TV...

Micky Flanagan defends panel show "closed shop" claims

Micky Flanagan says: "It's not an accident that certain comedy agencies have a lot of great comics on their books. If a producer goes to them, 'I'm producing this new panel show, can I have Sean Lock or any decent comic?' they're told, 'Yeah, you can - you know we've also got...'"

Micky Flanagan - athlete extraordinaire

Two years ago you might not have heard of him - but that's not the case now.

Graham Norton, Telegraph agony uncle and purveyor of uncouth - but very funny - humour, welcomes Britain's most successful pop star, the evergreen Sir Cliff Richard. The pair may not share a taste in comedy but I'm willing to bet Sir Cliff will be a good sport. He's promoting his Soulicious tour, which has three remaining dates. Joining him are Lord Sugar and comedian Micky Flanagan; also, X Factor judge Kelly Rowland performs her new single Down for Whatever.

Live at the Apollo performers confirmed

Jack Whitehall, Micky Flanagan and Alan Carr have been confirmed for the new series of BBC One's Live at the Apollo.

The eighth series of the Reeves and Mortimer's cult panel show draws to a close tonight, having attracted respectable viewing figures of 1.5 m. Deadpan comedian Jack Dee appears to be at a disadvantage as he is joined by actress Tamzin Outhwaite and Primal Scream bassist Gary Mounfield, while Ulrika Jonsson gets stand-up Micky Flanagan and actor Charlie Higson for her team. But as the questions are nonsensical and the games bizarre, anything can happen.

This topical panel show can always be guaranteed to provide a few belly laughs.

And unlike Have I Got News for You, it doesn't matter if you've been hiding under a rock for the past week and haven't got a clue what's been going on in the world.

The topical bit is used loosely. Instead it's more an excuse for stand-up comedians to show their wares, with Dara O Briain at the helm.

Joining show regulars Hugh Dennis, Andy Parsons and Chris Addison is my own personal favourite stand-up, Micky Flanagan, up-and-coming comic Nathan Caton and Canada's king of the one-liners Stewart Francis (if you love your comedy, you'll recognise him from an episode of Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow - he was the guy who opened with: "Don't worry, I haven't heard of you either").

Considering the show's format, which is just made for killer one-liners, tonight's episode promises to be even funnier than normal.
