Ep 7 - Clowning with Robyn Hambrook and Bill Harrington

Send in the clowns! Today we're talking about clowning, physical comedy, and cartoon violence. Kate Murphy and Peff Soulsby ask: Is slapstick a lost art?

We speak to performer and clown aficionado Bill Harrington about red noses, custard pies and the hierarchy of fools, plus Kate chats to Fun in the Oven's Robyn Hambrook about contemporary clowning.

And as usual our #GiggleGuide will let you know where you can find chuckles and belly laughs over the coming week.

N.E. Thing Funny brings you news, reviews and interviews from the North East of England's comedy scene! Produced by Peff Soulsby and Kate Murphy. Original music composed and produced by Audio Witch Esmé Newman.
