Helen Lederer kicks off the new season of the Humourology Podcast next week!

We’re thrilled to announce that the new season of the Humourology Podcast is launching next week, and who better to kick things off than the hilarious and iconic Helen Lederer! Known for her role as the delightfully dizzy Catriona on Absolutely Fabulous, her latest role as Elspeth in Coronation Street and her unforgettable appearances in Naked Video, Helen is a true legend in British comedy. With a career spanning stand-up, TV, and literature, she’s proven herself a master of wit, warmth, and wisdom.

In this upcoming episode, Helen dives into her journey from the pioneering days of alternative comedy in the ’80s to her acclaimed novel, Losing It, which was shortlisted for the PG Wodehouse Comedy Literary Prize. Alongside comedy giants like Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders, Helen has left an indelible mark on British entertainment. And now, she’s ready to bring her unique blend of humour, insight, and, of course, plenty of laughs, to the Humourology stage.

Get ready for a taste of what’s to come by checking out this sneak peek clip. Trust us, it’s going to be “Ab Fab” to have her on the show!

 

See you next Tuesday.

 

Warmest,

 

Paul
