About this audiobook

The hit improvisation radio show that spawned the TV phenomenon

Regular team captains Stephen Fry and John Sessions are joined by Lenny Henry, Dawn French, Hugh Laurie, Enn Reitel, Jimmy Mulville, Nonny Williams, Griff Rhys Jones, Kate Robbins, John Bird, Rory Bremner and Jon Glover, as they battle their way through a succession of games and romp through a world of literary styles, TV theme tunes, and film genres. Chairman Clive Anderson desperately tries to hold the whole thing together and the guests make it up as they go along in this riot of improvisation.

First heard on BBC Radio 4 in January 1988, Whose Line is it Anyway? went on to run for 10 series on Channel 4 and found success in America.

Based on comedy suggestions from the studio audience, this is ad-libbed comedy at its best.

With Colin Sell at the piano.
Devised and compiled by Mark Leveson, with additional material by Martin Booth.
Produced by Dan Patterson

About the author

One of Britain's best-loved personalities, actor and comedian Lenny Henry has appeared in numerous radio and TV series. His television credits include Three of a Kind and The Lenny Henry Show, while radio credits include Anansi Boys, Lenny & Will and Bad Faith. He has also starred in several theatre productions of Shakespeare's plays, including Othello and The Comedy of Errors. John Bird was born just after the Second World War to a London Irish family in slum-ridden Notting Hill. Homeless at five, he went on to spend three years in an orphanage before, at the age of ten, embarking on a spree of shoplifting, house breaking, vandalism and arson. Periods in jail were followed in his twenties by the birth of three of his children and his metamorphosis into a successful businessman. At the age of 45, using his own life and professional experience, he founded the Big Issue and over the last fifteen years has overseen its development into an international movement which stretches from Tokyo to Totnes.
