How I Became Seen and Heard

The Godfather of British stand-up comedy is back on the live stage with his trials of modern life and the tales of his much loved cat Edward.

Musing over the proverb "children should be seen and not heard", John looks back into his own childhood, and the phrase's old high English origins.

The learning of children fascinates John, left to interpret the world himself by his Irish family.

Gorilla warfare? How does that work?

Perhaps the barbary apes of Gibraltar have more of a chance.

A Dabster production for BBC Radio 4, first broadcast in May 2018.
