    Something from the Cellar: Defining Moments

    This week, we’re diving into some of our favourite stories that perfectly demonstrate how just one pivotal moment can completely change the course of your life!
    First up, we have the man behind the hilarious Keith Lemon, it’s Leigh Francis! He shares how the loss of his dad reshaped his outlook on life and ultimately drove him to courageously uproot everything and move to London to launch his comedy career. Next, we have the brilliant chef Rick Stein who tells us how an unexpected turn of events - having his nightclub shutdown by the police - led him to embark on a remarkable journey into the restaurant industry. And finally, we have the phenomenal Bonnie Langford who reminisces on the life-changing audition that, at just 9 years old, landed her a broadway role working alongside musical theatre legend Stephen Sondheim in New York!

    Stewart Lee on the art of modern stand-up, hunting for new material, and life on the road

    Today’s guest is probably your favourite comedian’s favourite comedian. He regularly sells more than 250,000 tickets for every tour, yet he has never wanted to be a household name and doesn’t do many interviews. But you’re in luck, because he has today: it’s the hilarious Stewart Lee!
    Kate and Stewart have known each other for decades, so they retrace the steps of their friendship and reminisce about some hilarious, scarcely believable moments they’ve shared. Plus, Stewart opens up about not wanting to court much public attention, how he’s carved his own comedy lane and how he regularly provokes hairy situations in public in the hope of landing on some new material!

    Peter Andre on life in the spotlight, the glorious 1990s, and prioritising your family

    Peter Andre on life in the spotlight, the glorious 1990s, and prioritising your family

    Joining us today is a singer, songwriter and TV personality who has become an ever-present figure in British life over the last thirty years. It’s the lovely Peter Andre!
    Fresh from another night looking after his newborn, Pete sits down to chat about the many highs - and some crushing lows - of his last thirty years in showbiz, plenty of which involved Kate! They remember how he got his big break in the UK, how he had to seek help away from the glare of the British spotlight and how he’s remained a celebrated figure in an industry that’s never shy about casting people aside.
    You can purchase Peter's new book right here, and find out more about his run in 'The Best of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons' right here!
