Comedy from Jim Judges

Discover Sutton Coldfield's answer to Alan Partridge: Ian Crawford, Cutlery Safety Expert, from our stage at the Rik Mayall Comedy Festival. With Nina Das Gupta.

We're celebrating the best creatives where we live with Nina Das Gupta, including:

• Following in the footsteps of David Brent and Alan Partridge, live comedy from Sutton Coldfield stand-up sensation Jim Judges - as Ian Crawford, Cutlery Safety Expert - fresh from our stage at the Rik Mayall Comedy Festival in Droitwich.

• Stories from one of the Worcestershire-born Young Ones, Bottom and Blackadder star's closest collaborators: Hear from Nigel Planer, in conversation from the theatre where Rik Mayall first trod the boards.

• And if one comedy festival wasn't enough - get the low-down on this year's Shrewsbury Comedy Festival - discover how it gives you the Edinburgh Fringe experience, without getting stuck going up the M6 in August!

• The award-winning BBC podcast, delving deeper in to one of the West Midlands' rarest crimes, which tested West Mercia Police like never before.

• Plus the audio series putting neurodivergence in the spotlight, particularly within the South Asian community across our area.

• And a deeply personal protest play for voice, inspired by the life story of a Birmingham writer living in Warwickshire.
