Comedy Prom

Classical music meets comedy at the Proms for the first time as musician and comedian Tim Minchin presents an evening of music and laughter with BBC Two Maestro winner Sue Perkins, musical cabaret duo Kit And The Widow, soprano Susan Bullock, pianist Danny Driver and the ever-versatile BBC Concert Orchestra. Further guests will be announced in due course. The fun is recorded for broadcast on BBC Two on 27 August and a Proms Plus Literary event preceding the concert looks at what it is that makes literary comic gold (13 August).
