Tony Law's Surreal Guide To Surreal Comedy
Absurdist comedian Tony Law takes us on a journey through the twists and turns of Surrealism in comedy, with rare interviews from Gerard Hoffnung, Monty Python sketches, and a first outing on BBC Radio 4 Extra for Chris Morris and Peter Cook's Why Bother. Helping Tony make sense of it all, historian Mary Beard talks about the oldest surviving joke book, Sean Hughes remembers Elvis the talking spider, comedy writer Robert Popper confesses to a prank call about Gordon Brown that got slightly out of hand, and author Will Self renders the entire exercise practically pointless by asking us to be clearer about what the word Surrealism actually means. 'ToneZone' (as he insists the producer calls him) investigates whether the world is becoming more surreal and if the targets of Surrealism have changed.
