Fred at The Stand

Available for 337 days

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 edition, Fred perfectly encapsulates the mindset of a Scottish audience before introducing Anuvab Pal to the Newcastle stage. Anuvab shares his perspective of Indian colonisation, before American stand-up Krystal Evans jokes about having a very young baby during the pandemic. Mark Nelson makes a triumphant return to the series, as his kids learn to swim with the help of his best shark impression. Funny Woman champion Thanyia Moore shares her lockdown woes and, to take us out with a song, longstanding Geordie comedian Richard Morton updates some classic rock n' roll for the more discerning audience. 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
