Welcome to the Eyre-Leigh Doors community! Here’s what’s in your show today:
It’s the incredible Angela Barnes. A Mock the Week regular, Radio 4 stalwart and one of the funniest comics on the circuit today, she gave us her all!
We talk a little about “Open Spots”. These are non-professional comedians who often travel many miles to do 10 minutes comedy in a draughty village hall for nothing but the love of the game. Gill Edwards’ Comedy Course details here
Boris Johnson in a greasy spoon, a deep dive into the culture of Ambridge. Peter Oborne on the Newsquiz - here’s a Reddit thread about it
So much chat about how Angela feels about her recent ADHD diagnosis and neurodivergence in general (a topic v close to Louise’s heart!)
Linda Smith - here’s a video of her on Have I Got News for You that will remind you that nothing much changes in politics, although a lot has changed in representation of women on TV!
Fascinating stuff about nuclear bunkers!
We try to give Angela her dream come true. But will she take it?
