Promenading on BBC2

We said we’d post a reminder about the TV broadcast of the BBC’s Comedy Prom and here it is!

This Saturday, 27th August, as well as the return of Doctor Who, is the broadcast of the BBC’s Comedy Prom, as recorded on the 13th August. Fortunately they don’t clash, however, they do have something in common. What? You’ll have to tune in to find out!

The Comedy Prom will be showing on BBC 2 and BBC HD at 9pm. There’ll be a handful of songs from the host of the evening, Tim, and it’ll feature the astounding vocal trickery of Beardyman, hilarious puppet antics from the cast of Mongrels and enchanting silent comedy from The Boy With Tape On His Face.

Also making appearances will be comic rapper, Doc Brown, cabaret duo, Kit and the Widow, soprano, Susan Bullock and pianist, Danny Driver. Sue Perkins will also be lending a helping hand throughout proceedings, and the whole thing will be backed by the BBC Concert Orchestra, led by Jules Buckley.

Unfortunately, the broadcast will only be available in the UK, however, here’s a clip of Tim from it, for those that won’t be able to see the spectacle:

And for those in the UK, here are two clips from Beardyman and Mongrels to whet your appetite!
