In David Mitchell s new TV series Outsiders
Comedians’ survival skills are to be put to the test in a new series fronted by David Mitchell.
Five of the six have already demonstrated their ingenuity – or otherwise – on Taskmaster, and like that show, the same comics will return each week.
Mitchell developed the format and will present the six hour-long epsiodes for Dave.
He said: ‘Civilisation is clearly crumbling so it’s high time we worked out whether we can cope without it. And if you can think of a better way of doing that than making six comedians learn survival skills, then you weren’t involved in the development process of this programme.’
The Civic, Stourport. Stourport Civic Hall is looking forward to reopening on May 17, with a host of comedy shows and theatre productions lined up. After over a year of closure, Stourport Civic is back with a bang with a selection of theatre productions such as Truly Jack the Ripper on May 19 and The Time Machine on May 26 which are both one man shows performed by Jonathan Goodwin. Last of the Summer Wine will also take to the stage on June 3 with ENCORE’s adaption of the timeless television series. On June 10 the hall will also be home to Lou Sanders, a comedian who has recently appeared on live at the Apollo.
