The John Moloney Show
May 2015
BBC Radio 4
11pm
All four episodes of The John Moloney Show are coming to Radio 4 very soon. Working with John has been a total pleasure. He’s the godfather of the UK comedy scene. Watching him work is like watching a masterclass unfold. He’s like a conductor and the audience is his orchestra. I can’t wait for Radio 4’s listeners to hear this show. They’re going to love it.
The show features performances from Julia Sutherland, Fred MacAulay and Gareth Waugh….as well as a cameo appearance from Richard playing the part of a feckless yoooof!
