Christmas poetry mayhem

Original comedy, podcasts, poetry, fiction and more on BBC Upload, with Nina Das Gupta, including:

• An incredible piece of work from Shrewsbury actor, writer and director Natasha Biggs, who's picked up arts council funding for a new play, and has just sold out her first ever London show.

• Top comedy tips from Strictly champion Chris McCausland, who also delves in to his time at college and clubbing in Hereford.

• The Nuneaton playwright who's based his latest work on one of Britpop's biggest bangers!

• The trucker from Walsall who's literally filled his boots with Christmas cheer - hand making a hundred, dropping in some poems, and giving them out to young people across the Black Country!

• Herefordshire filmmaker Ivo Garland, whose folk horror is in development being filmed around the Black Mountains where he grew up.

• And a whole load of Christmas mayhem, courtesy of poet Birmingham poet Matt Windle, as we put his writing skills to the test!
