Daisy May Cooper is set to front her own podcast. About literature.

Daisy hates reading (‘…apart from Take A Break magazine’); but in her new series, Educating Daisy, she bravely invites celebrity guests including Tim Key, Diane Morgan and Katie Price, to try to convince her to give their favourite classic novel a try… with mixed results.

Also announced today, fans of celebrity musings can indulge in Lolly Adefope’s Fanmail, in which the actress and character comedian invites ‘fans’ and fellow celebrities (a raft of A-list actor cameos from the UK and US) to come on the show and ask important questions like, “why do you love me so much?” And - “what is it about me that you love so much?” This new series from Lolly Adefope is produced by Baby Cow, the award-winning production team behind Steve Coogan's From The Oasthouse: The Alan Partridge Podcast.

Hosting his first ever podcast is comedian Dara Ó Briain. Timewasters is a new panel show format, in which fellow comics competitively offer up hilarious and painfully relatable stories of when their lives and time have been most comprehensively wasted – from weeks sunk on failed fitness fads, to hours frittered away on property websites angrily drooling over homes you will never live in…

Mo Gilligan’s Spotlight is a new stand-up show which will shine a light on some of the freshest names in British comedy. Each episode, recorded live in a London comedy club, sees the triple BAFTA-winning comedian hosting a hand-picked bill of British stand-ups, spotlighting some of the UK’s most exciting, but currently under-represented, comedic voices.

Also coming to Audible Plus are a number of stand-up specials, including Noel Fielding, Stewart Lee, Jo Brand, Eddie Izzard and more.

Audible’s upcoming comedy slate will start in Spring 2023 with individual title launch dates to be revealed over the coming months. All series will be available exclusively on Audible.co.uk.
