Zoe Lyons: Now What?

When she hit 50, the comedian Zoe Lyons had something of a midlife crisis which resulted in her living alone with nothing but a sports car and a pull-up bar. Now 54, she's out the other side but can't help looking around at her life, her career, and the state of the world and thinking 'Now What?'

We all know that the best way to deal with any crisis is to have a cuppa and a good natter about it so now she's asking “Now What?” on Radio 4. In this episode Zoe explores careers and what it means to be a success in your chosen path.

Mixing interviews with stand-up comedy, Zoe seeks the advice of some of her comedy colleagues - some slightly older, some younger, some her age - including Helen Lederer, Jenny Eclair, Amelia Hamilton and Kerry Godliman. Can Zoe reconnect with her career motivation - or at least discover where it’s lurking? Or should she give it all up and just drive around in her lovely little campervan?
