Luke McQueen
The final instalment of the Luke McQueen trilogy finds the hapless comedian lobbed into the world of Love Island-style reality TV when he becomes the subject of his very own Bachelor-style show, The Luke of Love, handily abbreviated to LOL.
As McQueen cannily observes at the outset, women often want to date someone with a sense of humour.So who better than an actual stand-up like him? Except that the six women competing for his attention don’t seem to find him remotely funny. Well, not intentionally anyway.
The second of his three pilots spoofing TV formats is a little close to home for comedian Luke McQueen. This time round he is tackling that modern phenomenon of comics doing travelogues with one of their parents in tow. After Romesh and Russell on the road with their mums and Whitehall and his dad meet McQueen and the man who apparently adopted him, fellow stand-up Mark Silcox.
Luke McQueen has made a bit of a name for himself in the past by doing audacious publicity stunts. At the Edinburgh Fringe in 2014 he told people he met that Frankie Boyle was going to do a one-off gig at the festival – then McQueen walked onstage to watch a packed house of horrified jaws drop in unison. He has attempted a publicity stunt in reverse for his first BBC Three run, protesting outside the BBC HQ demanding that people don't watch his programme and hoping, no doubt, that his pleas for a boycott will backfire.
