Sara Pascoe is to front a new stand-up series which is about to be recorded.

In The Modern Monkey the award-winning star of Stand Up for the Week; Campus, Live at the Apollo, W1A and Twenty Twelve will be exploring our modern social world through theories of Evolutionary Psychology and more. How does our past influence our modern lives and how come we can still get emotionally hijacked by our primitive emotions?
