Fred MacAulay is back at The Stand Comedy Club in Newcastle, doing what he does best - making people laugh. A fantastic selection of some of the best of stand-up comedians working in the UK right now. Some you’ll know and some you won’t - yet. In this episode, Fred explains how he conformed to government guidelines during lockdown, and introduces Junior Doctor Michael Akadiri on to the stage to tell stories from his fertility clinic. Lauren Pattison shares her stories of glorious misfortune as she returned to working in retail over the last two years, while 'Arab Woman of the Year' nominee Esther Manito compares her life with and without children. The headliner is the unmistakably Lee Ridley, aka Lost Voice Guy, who explains why he could never be an astronaut, even if he wanted to be. Fred At The Stand is the closest thing your ears are going to get to an actual night in a comedy club. Produced by Richard Melvin A Dabster production for BBC Radio 4
