Sara Pascoe

Radio Times review

Alex Horne's bumbling jazz jesters are back for another series, and clearly have no shortage of ideas. This week they tackle turntables, mariachi music and the humble Teasmade, combining sharp stand-up comedy with even sharper musical chops.

There's also a wonderful guest appearance from Sara Pascoe, performing a self-penned five-minute musical about her life as a vegetarian. It's far funnier than it has any right to be. A few of the sight-gags fall flat (as visual comedy does on radio), but the raucous live atmosphere makes up for any shortcomings. After all, who doesn't want humour you can hum along to?

Sara Pascoe: And now for Nietzsche ...

Sara Pascoe is thriving at standup, but she'd rather be an 18th-century essayist. She talks to Brian Logan about politics, philosophy - and gigging with the RSC.
