40 - Bedtime For Bonzo (with Suren Jayemanne and James Hingley)

Bedtime For Bonzo (1951) and it's follow up, Bonzo Goes to College (1952) are films about a chimp named Bonzo. The first film is probably best known for starring future president of the USA, Ronald Regan. We were only going to talk about Bedtime For Bonzo, but we played the wrong film and it was a long way into it before we realised.


I am joined by the very funny Sydney comedian Suren Jayemanne and the very lovely James Hingley (multi talented tech man and Stewart Lee's road manager).


I'm touring my new stand up show Bone Dry in March/April (final legs in Melbourne and Sydney) Tickets/details: https://mattstewartcomedy.com/gigs
