Her writing and performance in The Fast Show made her one of the most influential women in British sketch comedy; now Arabella Weir reflects on her work and the balance of power underpinning the five-man, most-often-one-woman sketch team.  We discuss the tension and friction of making comedy; whether a happy person still has the same hunger to perform; and learn the awful truth about the genesis of her character "Girl Who Boys Can't Hear"...

Alan Davies is best known in the UK as a panellist on QI and as the star of Jonathan Creek, but he’s recently returned to his roots as a superb observational stand up.
In this live show from the Gilded Balloon, he describes in detail his process for turning notes into jokes, and how he goes about structuring a tour show. He also reads from some of his old comedy notebooks, and explores why theatre people have it easy…
