In this week's episode of HappenedHere, hosted by Stephen Fry, we explore the life of the man who changed the face of clowning forever - Joseph Grimaldi, with three stories written by James Rampton and performed by Dame Joanna Lumley:

He Swung Joseph with the Utmost Velocity [Sadlers Wells Theatre, Roseberry Avenue, Clerkenwell, London]

Make ‘Em Laugh [Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, London]

"I make you laugh at night, but I’m Grim-all-day" [Theatre Royal, Drury Lane]
