Paul Kerensa presents ‘An Evening of (Very) Old Radio'

0TOTNES: St John's Church
PSaturday 9th March, 2024
N7:00pm

Event information

This one-man show informs, educates but above all entertains about British broadcasting’s birth.

Enjoy tales, clips and re-enactments of Auntie Beeb’s earliest landmark moments: the first BBC broadcast, the first children’s, drama, sports commentary and so much more researched, written and performed by British Comedy Award-winning writer (Miranda, Not Going Out, Dead Ringers, The Now Show) + comedian Paul Kerensa. With no recordings from the 1920s, he’ll recreate key moments, inc. the first drama The Truth About Father Christmas (recently rediscovered by Paul at the British Library for the first time in nearly a century) and the first political debate (sparking the BBC’s first controversy, foreshadowing the issues for today’s BBC).

In aid of Comic Relief Red Nose Day, the performance will be in two parts. Light refreshments served during the interval.

Red Nose Day is an initiative of Charity Projects, a registered charity in England and Wales (326568) and Scotland (SC039730).
