Joe Kent-Walters is recording a Radio 4 show as his alter ego Frankie Monroe.

Frankie Monroe's Pub Quiz will be recorded on Tuesday 10th December at Fairfield Social Club in Manchester (free tickets), to air on Radio 4 at a later date.

The show will see the BBC New Comedy Award 2023 winner, who was also named Best Newcomer in the Edinburgh Comedy Awards in August, acting as quiz master in character as Frankie Monroe, the owner and MC of The Misty Moon, a working men's club in Rotherham which also happens to be a portal to hell.
