Classic and cult comedies to be broadcast as part of 1990s season
A number of classic and cult comedies are to be broadcast on Radio 4 Extra as part of a season exploring the legacy of the 1990s, including early shows from Stewart Lee and Richard Herring and The League Of Gentlemen.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 19th April 2022Whole chunks of Munnery's show are hilarious, but occasionaly it runs out of steam, either through inaccuracy (show surely wouldn't insult Stu for his fatness - a running gag - but defend him against body fascism) or by going for easy targets and turning show into the demonised leftie of Portillo-ish imaginations rather than the real and much funnier one
