BBC Radio 5 Live presenters Elis James and John Robins will talk to famous names about the challenges they have faced in life, in a new podcast called “How Do You Cope?... with Elis and John” for BBC Sounds and Radio 5.
Elis and John will ask well-known guests about the hurdles and setbacks they have faced in their lives. Although topics covered will be serious, the tone will be positive and light with plenty of laughter in each episode.
There's a theory that the best stand-up comedy has to be relatable in some way. The centrepiece of John Robins' latest show Hot Shame is a story of how he dug a stress-based hole for himself when he had a spot of damp at home. The yarn involves researching reviews of humidifiers, hiring specialist plasterers and crumpling into a ball on the floor. Don't worry if you've not gone through this specific brand of trauma yourself though. It's absolutely gut-bustingly hilarious to hear Robins go through it on your behalf.
The Bristol Comedy Garden returns to Queen Square this July 3-7 with stand-up luminaries Stewart Lee and Sean Lock leading yet another outrageously good line-up performing at the Southwest’s favourite comedy extravaganza.
Kicking this year off in surreal style is the 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown team captain Sean Lock with the legendary Stewart Lee headlining a fantastic festival finale in the Big Top on the Sunday night, with a whole lot more enlightening entertainment in between.

UKTV’s award winning entertainment channel Dave is making its first programme with VICE Studios, Beat The Internet with John Robins is hosted by the 2017 Edinburgh Comedy Award winner (which is lucky as his name is in the title).

The results are both unpredictable and hilarious.
