Quite a bit of comedy content on Sunday Brunch this week, including Rachel Parris and Isy Suttie.
Parris has just completed a short run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and is soon to be seen as the new host of Dave's Late Night Mash following the departure of Nish Kumar. Parris was previously more of a musical comedian but her short satirical segments were a highlight of the show when it was originally on the BBC so it will be inetresting to see how she does in the main hot seat.
Isy Suttie has also had a spell as a musical comedian and is best known to many sitcom viewers as Dobby in Peep Show, but she has recently started a sucessful career as a novelist, while also returning to stand-up comedy. Her latest live show is entitled Jackpot and after a week at the Soho Theatre this week she is heading out on tour. Click here for dates. Suttie – and husband, fellow comedian Elis James – recently moved house and posted a hilarious picture of all the rubbish that was accumulating behind the sofa in their lounge over the years on social media.
Also appearing on this week's Sunday Brunch is Keith Allen, one of the original alternative comedy brigade who has done all sorts of things in his lengthy career. He is about to appear in a new play called Rehab, a musical about a drug-addicted pop star, in which he wears a fetching silver wig.
Plus broadcaster and devoted Spurs fan Nihal Arthanayake, Brian Gleeson, who is in the new Sharon Horgan comedy drama Bad Sisters which has just launched on Apple + TV and also stars Anne-Marie Duff, Cork actress Sarah Greene and Bono's daughter Eve Hewson. Plus music from Kodaline and cooking and banter from presenters Simon Rimmer and Tim Lovejoy.
