Book review: Neuropolis by Robert Newman
Oh no! Not another arena-filling comedian with a quasi-academic tome about neuroscience. I've only just finished Lee Evans on hippocampal Cb2 receptor gene expression and Roy 'Chubby' Brown on the lateral occipital sulcus.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 4th May 2017Radio comedy can be such a turn-off
I try to fight it but the urge to tune away from Radio 4 at 6.30pm most weeknights is almost irresistible. This is odd. What I'm escaping is comedy and not only do I love comedy but a quick fix of it has become, these days, almost a necessity after listening to half an hour of news.

The comedian tells us why Francis Crick, Brian Cox and Stephen Hawking are the butt of his jokes in his new book and radio series.
