Join BBC New Comedy Award finalist and wheelchair enthusiast Aaron Simmonds as he tells you how his first paid gig led to him performing on BBC2, and what happens when you’re trolled online for not being disabled enough. Far better at stand-up than standing up, his unique perspective on life - usually people's belly buttons - gives him a distinctive edge in his performances as well as a sore neck.
Aaron has been doing stand-up comedy without standing up for eight years now, and it's time for that to change! So he's attempting to do something he's never done before... Stand-up comedy, standing up.
Russell Howard offers his unique take on the week's news and current affairs, picking through the biggest UK and international stories, and offering a wise and worldly view on the globe's news. Along the way, he'll welcome celebrity guests and leading experts, as well as hear from fledgling global correspondents. Plus, there will be stand-up, too, as Russell showcases some of the comedy scene's finest and most exciting stars.
