Opinion: In praise of Andrew Lawrence
To meet Andrew Lawrence is a total joy. He is a true gentleman, very unassuming and humble. He has a keen grasp of the workings of comedy and his analysis of the comedy scene is most insightful. People who met him on the night described him as quietly spoken and surprisingly quite shy.

Peter Dixon, Giggle Beats, 18th January 2013Interview: Marcus Brigstocke
Does this Big Society business really work? Are the government just fobbing us off? And can we do their job better than they can?

Peter Dixon, Giggle Beats, 11th November 2012Interview: Adam Bloom
If you take a look at Adam Bloom's website you'll find a sketch of him holding a giant Rubik's Cube. He's not trying to be cool or quirky, honest; as Adam tells us, he thinks the cube captures a lot of his personal traits: "something slightly mathematically, quick-thinking, logical...a child of the 80s."

"It was nice to be the guy in front of the camera, rather than the guy behind it writing the jokes", he tells Radio Teesdale's Peter Dixon.

Dave Spikey is perhaps best known for his work on Phoenix Nights alongside the likes of Peter Kay, Neil Fitzmaurice and Justin Moorhouse, but he's revisiting straight up stand-up with his latest tour, Words Don't Come Easy. Radio Teesdale's Peter Dixon caught up with Spikey to talk about his comedy philosophy - and whether the success of Phoenix Nights weighs him down a little...
