The Comedy Bureau Explained – part two of one

We’ve joined forces with our good friends at The Comedy Bureau to investigate the origins of the sitcom with stand-up comedian Laura Lexx and reader in comedy performance Oliver Double. We look at how this artform developed on both sides of the Atlantic and revisit both Hancock’s Half Hour and I Love Lucy. This is part two of our conversation. For part one, check out The Comedy Bureau’s feed.

Next time we will be answering your questions in our AMA episode, and then it’s our very exciting episode on The Fast Show so that Abigoliah can discover who Paul Whitehouse is before we interview him at our special live show at King’s Place on Saturday 12 September.

Here’s a long list of social media systems where you can find the podcast and us.
