Planet Courdroy out now on DVD
Following a totally sold out run with a live version of his TV show The Late Edition at the Edinburgh Festival in 2007, Marcus Brigstocke, the award-winning stand up comedian from We Are History, News Knight, Have I Got News For You and BBC Radio 4's The Now Show, released his first DVD, Planet Corduroy. (SonyBMG).
Directed by Geoff Posner (Little Britain), Planet Corduroy was recorded at the Shaw Theatre, London in September 2007.
Marcus is the king of satirical comedy. There’s not much that hasn't come under his comedic gaze with blisteringly funny results – climate change, religious extremism, immigration, loans companies, the Special Relationship, compensation culture, women’s magazines, the EU and David Blaine, not to mention his own personal battle against his middle class roots.
After several years as the 'angry young man' on the BBC Radio 4's The Now Show, Marcus is regularly heard in the 6.30pm slot on Radio 4. He has written and recorded three series and four specials of Giles Wemmbley-Hogg Goes Off (GWH was also seen on TV at Glastonbury in 2007 in a special programme for BBC4). Marcus has written and performed three series' of The Museum Of Everything, and regularly appears on Just a Minute, The News Quiz, and The Today Programme.
