On today’s #One2ThreeShow we’ve doubled up on the guest front – Stewart Pink is joined by writer, musician and director Chris Wade PLUS actor, comedian, playwright and all-round national treasure Nigel Planer.
Nigel, of course, is most famous for his role as everybody’s favourite long-haired hippy, Neil, from The Young Ones, has been in countless TV and West End stage productions and narrated several audiobooks. We talk about some of his favourite West End roles, what it was like taking comedy to a new level in the 80s, his latest project “Raymond’s Room”, theatre in the time of Covid19, his upcoming album “five songs left” and his new play “All Above Board”. Plus was Rik Mayall really a bastard?
