Nick Helm is one of the guests on this week's edition of Sunday Brunch hosted by Tim Lovejoy and Simon Rimmer.
Helm will hopefully be talking about the forthcoming one night only streaming of his acclaimed show Phoenix from the Flames. It will also be available to download.
He will also possibly be chatting about his recent experience of coaching Baroness Sayeeda Warsi to victory in Channel 4’s Stand Up And Deliver (Stand Up To Cancer). And he may mention that the BBC Three sitcom which he starred in, Uncle, is now being remade in South Korea but without him.
Phoenix from the Flames was his Edinburgh Fringe 'comeback' show after six years away.
Helm has also co-starred in Loaded (Channel 4), co-wrote, directed and starred in the BAFTA-nominated short Elephant (BBC Online), and starred in The Girl in the Dress – a short selected for the 2015 London Film Festival. A more recent comedy short, The Killing Machine, was written by and stars Nick, for the BBC. He also created and starred in the food and travel show Eat Your Heart Out with Nick Helm (Dave).
In October 2018, Nick was in Sky One’s The Reluctant Landlord, written by and starring Romesh Ranganathan. Series two aired in autumn 2019.
Nick has released albums including Hot ‘n’ Heavy, Nick Helm is Fucking Amazing and Songs from Uncle, and is currently working on a soundtrack and his fourth album.
He’s also appeared on other TV shows such as 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown (Channel 4), Harry Hill’s Alien Fun Capsule (ITV1), Celebrity Mastermind (BBC1), Russell Howard’s Good News (BBC Three), Sweat the Small Stuff (BBC Three), and Celebrity Storage Hunters (UKTV). Radio-wise, Nick’s featured in Susan Calman’s Sisters and Felicity Ward’s Appisodes (BBC Radio 4), as well as being the first comedian since Chris Morris to present his own Radio 1 comedy show, Nick Helm’s Christmas Spectacular, back in 2012 – and this led to his BBC Three series Heavy Entertainment. He currently hosts a weekly radio show and broadcast at Fubar Radio, with Nathaniel Metcalfe, entitled Nick & Nat’s Fan Club.
Sunday Brunch, 9.30am, Sunday, March 28. The other guests include Rochelle Humes, Marti Pellow, Dame Kelly Holmes, Joe Sugg, Conrad Khan, Max Halley and Doddleoddle
