Upload with Nina Das GuptaAvailable for 30 days
We're celebrating the best creatives where we live with Nina Das Gupta, including: • Our big Rik Mayall Comedy Festival line-up! Three months ago we put the call out for you to perform on our two stages in the Worcestershire canal town. We reveal the acts performing from our area, in front of you at this incredible event - including what happened when we gave some the ultimate surprise! • How SNL UK pulled off multiple Louis Therouxs, including the actual Louis Theroux, all in one sketch, set in Bromsgrove! Catch up with the show's Redditch writer Lorna Rose Treen, fresh from finishing series one, who's got her own show at Rik Mayall too. • A look at the life of one of the maddest and funniest men to come out of the West Midlands, if not the whole country! Hear from Rik Mayall's biographers, plus extracts from the tapes used to write his memoirs, that have developed in to a BBC Sounds podcast. Upload your work for a chance to get on the BBC.
