Cue some stupidity...
BBC Entertainment is deadly serious about you having a laugh. Which is why February is business as usual – wall-to-wall funnies!
Continuing the success of last month’s Stand-Up Festival, the delightfully posh and ridiculously hilarious Michael McIntyre will be welcoming the cream of the British comedy circuit to the stage in his self-titled Comedy Roadshow throughout the month.
And there’s a double serving of cutting-edge sitcoms to keep the hoots in the air too. Peep Show and Nighty Night are two of the most inventive and off-the-wall gems to come out of Blighty in recent years, and given that you Nordic folk seem to share the same twisted sense of humour as us Brits, they are likely to be right up your comedy alley.
So… sit down, switch on and let the laughs roll!
