An evening of poetry, stories, jokes, Q & A, fun, knitwear and a few surprises.
Nigel Planer is a comedy legend, an actor, writer and more importantly for this show he’s a great poet.
He joins Henry Normal, BBC Radio 4’s ‘poet in reticence’ to reunite a team that entertains, educates and informs (but mostly entertains it must be said).
