If having the Liverpool Comedy Festival only a few weeks ago we're so jammy we get the Southport Comedy Festival now! We speak to the very happy Bren Riley about all the fun of the fest. Then we asked a 100 people how can we top that start to the show and our survey said, Les Dennis! The legend who has worked with many other legends talks to us about the true legend of his one man play at the Royal Court 'Jigsy'.
