Live from the UK

Live from the UK brings you the best comedy talent from around the country, all from the comfort of your own headphones.

Stand up legend Angela Barnes talks to Glasgow about their swearing, Newcastle about their love of getting starkers on holiday, and Manchester about the rude origins of their city's name.

She brings you acts from all of these places and more, covering topics as far and wide as heatwaves, Gazza, hen dos and the George Foreman grill. How many shows can say that?

This week you can hear;

Mark Nelson at The Stand, Glasgow Louise Young at The Stand, Newcastle Hayley Ellis at the Frog and Bucket, Manchester and headliner Josh Pugh at the Glee Club, Birmingham
