I thought I'd managed to snag tickets to two different BBC radio comedies, and it wasn't until I was actually logged into the Zoom call that I realised this was actually a TV show! Silly me!

Called "Funny Festival Live", the show was recorded in a small theatre with a tiny live audience comprising the production team, who have all been staying in a bubble in a hotel. The audience was then supplemented by (I don't know how many) viewers at home, so I had the show open on Zoom, and another window open with the BBC's web-based Audience Recording System.

There were four comedians (all female - maybe as it's being broadcast on International Women's Day?) - two were ok, one I thought was awful and one was the wonderful Rosie Jones, who was hilarious - and it was hosted by Sara Pascoe, who was also very funny, as was the warm up guy.
Anyway, it was a great way to spend a couple of hours on a gloomy Tuesday afternoon - and is the first thing to be crossed off my list!
