Jen Brister is one of those comics who has been excellent for a long time and is finally getting some proper recognition.

We talk about her brief stint as a BBC6 Music presenter, how her subsequent fall from grace reinvigorated her comedy career, and what was going through her mind as she walked onstage at Live At The Apollo...
