About the event

An Afternoon of (Very) Old Radio
Are you sitting comfortably? Then we’ll begin.

This is London calling...Written and performed by comedian, broadcast historian and British Comedy Award-winning writer (Miranda, Not Going Out) Paul Kerensa, this one-man show informs, educates and entertains about the origin story of the BBC, radio and life as we know it.

Journey back to the 1920s with tales, clips and re-enactments of landmark moments: the first BBC broadcast, the first children’s, drama, sports commentary and much more.With genuine 'cat's whisker' radio set, gramophone player and 1923 Radio Times, this ‘stand-up history’ show brings back to life forgotten pioneers – from Britain’s first DJ Gertrude Donisthorpe (spinning discs in a field during WWI), to the BBC’s first children’s programme character. Hear the BBC’s first song, the influential first outside broadcast and the bawdy tale of the launch of Savoy Hill. All wrapped in a delightfully fun tale - with insights of Paul’s present-day BBC career.

"Top comic, top writer.”– Lee Mack
