With comedian and presenter Matt Forde

Adam catches up with Matt Forde, who's coming to Kent with his new show Defying Calamity.

Adam catches up with political comedian and satirist Matt Forde, who's heading to Faversham and Maidstone on tour with his new show Defying Calamity. It's all about finding positivity in life, despite all the evidence to the contrary in politics and his own health.

Adam also meets Craig Brewer, the writer and director behind Song Sung Blue, the new movie starring Hugh Jackman & Kate Hudson as a Neil Diamond tribute act.

And, as awards season gets underway in the US, we cross to America to catch up with multi award-winning showbiz correspondent James Desborough, who grew up in Kent and now works the red carpets of the West Coast.
