Comedian Ricky Gervais

Available for over a year

On The Arts Hour this week, Nikki Bedi hears from comedian, actor, director and writer Ricky Gervais about the rules of comedy and his new stand-up show, Supernature. British-Sri Lankan theatre director Indhu Rubasingham talks about her latest production, The Father and the Assassin, which is about the murder of Mahatma Gandhi, seen through the eyes of the man who killed him. And joining Nikki in the studio is Irish author Louise O’Neill. Her new novel, Idol, asks questions about fame, online influencers and friendship - and imagines what happens when it all goes wrong.
