John Finnemore's Sketch Night



Exciting news! Well, for me, anyway. I will be writing and performing a new sketch show for BBC Radio 4 this Autumn. What will it be called? Who else will be in it? When exactly will it be on? These are just some of the questions science simply cannot yet answer. 

What science can tell us, though, is that in order to prepare for it, I will be doing a fortnightly sketch show at the Albany in Great Portland Street over the summer, and the first show is this very Saturday! It would be great to see you there. 


To read the titchy writing, click the image to embiggen it, or click here for the show's website (which is currently just the same information, only bigger, and with a map. But in the future - wondrous things.)

  5. John - do you have to book tickets from an unknown source or do you just turn up and get them on the door?

    And best of luck!

  6. will definitely try to come, but two things I need to ask:
    can we just show up (and get tickets at the door?) or is there somewhere we can get them?
    and how long will it be?
    sounds really fun, good luck (:

  8. Oh this is excellent news. Congratulations to you, the BBC, and to soon-to-be humorized listeners. Can't wait for it--wish I were in the UK to see.

    SamWow, it's a one-off sketch show broadcast in 2008 featuring Mr. Finnemore's work. Very funny indeed.

    Here's some info.

  9. Thank you very much!

    The two Lucys: tickets are available online here: http://tinyurl.com/3f7bs68 . I expect the show to be just over an hour long. All done by 9:30, certainly.

    Riffle and Lotte - Glad you liked JF,A! This will be similar.

  19. The genesis of the finest radio sketch show since Round The Horne, and easily one of the five funniest sketch shows ever committed to any recording medium.
