Audience Question

Each week, The Now Show asks its studio audience a question and the best/funniest/most damning response are read out.

But as of series thirty, you no longer need to come all the way to the Radio Theatre to take part. We'll be posting the audience question every Thursday afternoon on the BBC Comedy blog (www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/comedy/) and looking at all the replies posted to the comments section, as well as and posted on Twitter that have the #nowshow tag.

So, join in. Please. Frankly, the studio audience are starting to scare us.
