Union JACK at Leicester Comedy Festival

Marcel Lucont, Vix Leyton, Daman Bamrah and Ola Labib!

Vive le France! Or vive les France? Or la France? We're not sure, but we know who is - brilliant stand up comedian Marcel Lucont! Who chats about his 'best of' show at the Leicester Comedy Festival. Comedy Arcade's Vix Leyton spends four hours on a train to Leicester only to jump on a Zoom with us instead. And 'Wrap Game' comedians Ola Labib and Daman Bamrah go back-2-back to see how much they know (or don't know) about each other! Listen to the show live from 9pm tonight live from Europe's biggest comedy festival or subscribe to the podcast in the JACK Radio Player app.

Eric Rushton, Imran Yusuf, Louise Leigh and Ania Magliano

Not only is the brilliant Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year nominee Louise Leigh on the show tonight - but we're also joined by former winner Eric Rushton! If you're still craving more, we also have Imran Yusuf (as seen on Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow!) And happy birthday to stand up and writer Ania Magliano who took a break from her parkour session at the children's soft-play area to chat about the Leicester Comedy Festival.

Michael Akadiri, Linus Karp, and Lord Rodney and Lord Russell!

Make your life more jellicle with our jellicle guest Linus Karp and his jellicle show all about the 2019 musical movie Cats. It's very jellicle. Whatever that means! Brilliant award winning comedian Michael Akadiri - as seen on ITV's Stand Up Sketch Show and as heard on Union JACK Radio Comedy Club - reveals his deepest darkest thoughts at 3am (and tries not to get cancelled). If you're a fan of classic comedy, you're in luck! If by classic, you mean Georgian Period (1714-1837) set game shows, with Lord Rodney and Lord Russell!
