The Classical Comedy Club on Scala Radio
Sundays from 6pm
Last updated 24th Feb 2022
We’ve invited four top stand-up comedians to present our latest Sunday special show, 'The Classical Comedy Club'. Every Sunday from 6pm for the next 4 weeks, Isy Suttie, Sindhu Vee, Maisie Adam, and Andy Parsons will each introduce you to their favourite classical music. Each show will be as distinct from the next, as each comic curates a playlist of music that makes them smile.
From sharing anecdotes from their childhood, including their earliest memories of classical music and the people they associate with it. They’ll reminisce about their favourite funny films and play music from the TV sitcoms that have kept them entertained over the years, as well as describe the classical music they listen to now: as they relax, and even try to drown out the sound of their children!
Join them from 6pm on Sunday, starting with Isy Suttie as learn about the humorous classical composers who wrote the funniest music of the past four centuries, and discover that classical music doesn’t have to be serious, sombre or sentimental.
