A Man Walks Into A Cafe...
Another little experiment with the schedule tomorrow afternoon when we launch the first ever edition of the Comedy Cafe. Janice Forsyth will be in the hot seat and no doubt checking for whoopee cushions before she sits down. It's part of our coverage of the Glasgow International Comedy Festival but we're also wondering if there should eventually be a weekly magazine show devoted to comedy in the same way that we do with books and movies.
Festival coverage continues in our online Comedy Zone. It's presented by Simon Munnery and is just jam-packed with the best new talent. Don't take my word for that, here's the actual running order:
00:01 - Isy Suttie
00:13 - Rhod Gilbert
00:21 - Josie Long
00:29 - Simon Munnery
00:33 - John Hegley
00:45 - Ed Byrne
00:46 - Wilson Dixon
00:57 - Mark Watson
01:03 - Ardal O'Hanlon
01:14 - Simon Munnery
01:19 - Andy Parsons
01:45 - Ivan Brackenbury
01:55 - Alex Horne
02:04 - Lucy Porter
02:19 - Simon Munnery
02:25 - Ed Byrne
02:54 - David O'Doherty
03:05 - Reginald D Hunter
03:14 - Sarah Millican
03:22 - Simon Munnery
03:27 - Russell Kane
03:35 - Richard Herring
03:38 - Arnold Brown and Ian Macpherson
03:48 - Tommy Shepherd
04:02 - Will and Greg
04:08 - Ed Byrne
04:18 - Miles Jupp
04:23 - Simon Munnery
04:29 - Arnold Brown
04:58 - John Hegley
05:04 - David O'Doherty
05:14 - Mark Watson
05:22 - Reginald D Hunter
The wonders of technology allow us to monitor how many people are listening to the Zone and tell which countries they come from. Most of the audience is in the U.K., of course, but here's a shout out to our regulars in Japan and Taiwan. Oh yes.

Quite an incredible line up of comedic talent, I must admit I always love hearing Sarah Millican when she is on Fred's show.
Are you able to tell individual listeners IP addresses and is it only for the zones you can do this? Must make for interesting feedback.

Munnery looks very like Paul Kaye aka Dennis P......

Jeff - how do the playlists work? Are these captured in some clever way or does someone have to manually put them in? It seems pretty random as to whether a playlist appears or not.
To be fair the presenters are very good at stating what all the tracks are but sometime sit is easy to miss the info on a track. Someone I very rarely listen to but Steve Wright is the absolute worst offender in the world for that!

Mostly its manual at the moment, but plans are afoot to auotmate that.

Re: Playlists
Janice Forsyth gives lots of additional info on her playlist; album from which the track is taken, record label, etc.
