Best known as a regular member of BBC Two’s BAFTA nominated show The Mash Report, Steve N Allen’s topical and observational stand-up comedy has proven a hit at comedy clubs across the UK and Europe.

Whille this is his first presenting gig for Union JACK Radio, he has appeared on a number of the station’s shows before, including on Mark Dolan’s entertaining comedy chat show Asking for a Friend, and on Live from Leicester – a show rounding up some of the best highlights from Leicester Comedy Festival, of which the station is a partner.
Steve N Allen said: “Union JACK Radio is a station that celebrates the very best of British comedy and, as a British comedian, I’m very excited to have the opportunity to present the Drivetime show – even if only for a week. Hopefully the listeners will think of it as a nice Christmas present.”
