           <description><![CDATA[
  You don’t expect to see The 39 Steps described as a “smash-hit comedy”. Thriller, maybe – or “shocker”, as original author John Buchan called it – but comedy?

  Lisa Riley makes no bones about being dealt the ‘joker’ hand in Strictly Come Dancing. What the BBC hadn’t bargained for was that the former soap star was under no illusions as to why she was there. She also knew that she could turn a crowd and have them eating out of her hand in a matter of weeks, all of which proved prophetic. Rather than being patronised, Lisa challenged our preconceptions through sheer hard work, good humour and that winning smile.

  ‘So a comedian walks into a church...” So begins Paul Kerensa’s new act, set to arrive at Wesley Memorial and Cowley Road Churches tonight. Kerensa’s stand-up routine is a bit unusual in that he’s not actually planning on making fun of the church — a well-trodden comedy staple these days. In fact, he’s a Christian himself. “I’m quite fond of the church,” says Kerensa. “I think it sometimes needs defending.”

           <description><![CDATA[
  On the surface, the hour-long Blue Remembered Hills is just a group of seven-year-olds in wartime Britain playing in the sunshine. But it isn’t long before their childlike teasing turns to bullying and fighting, and things quickly spiral out of control until tragedy strikes.

           <description><![CDATA[
  It’s always good to put a face to a name, but when your names are Sara Coward and Sunny Ormonde, and you’ve been Caroline Sterling and Lilian Bellamy in The Archers for years, the thrill is even more pronounced.

           <description><![CDATA[
  The Oh F**k Moment was always going to be a brave idea, not just because of its title, but because it involves audience participation, and as we Brits are rather backward about coming forward, let alone spilling the beans, it seems an occupation more suited to our cousins over the pond.

           <description><![CDATA[
  ‘High Art? High arse more like!” That’s how the more self-regarding aspects of the theatrical profession are described in a new version of Chekhov’s The Seagull commissioned by Headlong and the Nuffield Theatre, Southampton. “It’s lovely to spit that line out with as much vitriol as possible,” actor Alexander Cobb tells me — he delivers those cutting words in the production, which tours to the Oxford Playhouse next week. “I bumped into Henny Finch, Headlong’s producer, in the beer garden of a South London pub one night,” explains writer John Donnelly.

           <description><![CDATA[
  Rarely does a political interview on TV make history. Many are quickly despatched to oblivion, sometimes to the relief of those concerned, no doubt. But the series of interviews between ex-President Richard Nixon and David Frost broadcast in 1977 have remained in the public eye — thanks, not least, to Peter Morgan’s play, and recent film, Frost/Nixon. In the interviews, Nixon eventually conceded that he had participated in the Watergate cover-up and lied to the world about it.

  Cal McCrystal can’t stay long. Once Giffords Circus’ latest show is up and running he has to jet off to the USA to work as a comedy consultant on the new Spiderman movie, but until then you’ll find him in a dusty field in Gloucestershire, where the finishing touches are being put to Lucky 13.

           <description><![CDATA[
  Julian Clary may be a dangerous mixture of funny and frank, but the ‘queen of innuendo’ still has the same compulsion as all comedians to get up on stage and make people laugh. That Julian does it in his own imitable style, carving a niche for his camp, bitchy, acerbic style of humour, is all the better.

  Here’s the brief; take one of the world’s most famous ballet companies, arguably the greatest classical ballet of all time, reduce it from three hours to one, take it on tour around the country and perform it to an audience primarily made up of three-10-year-olds.

           <description><![CDATA[
  Calderón de la Barca’s La Vida es sueño (Life is a Dream) is a great masterpiece of Spain’s 17th-century Golden Age of drama sometimes referred to — for its fame and importance rather than its plot — as “the Spanish Hamlet”. It is not as well known in Britain as it ought to be, though a much-lauded production four years ago at the Donmar Warehouse, starring Dominic West, helped to change that.

  For people of a certain age — and that includes the present writer — Liverpudlian Roger McGough will for ever be thought of as a pop star. He was one of the members of the trio The Scaffold — the others were Mike McGear, brother of a certain Paul McCartney, and John Gorman — who scored three big hits, including the No 1 Lily the Pink.

           <description><![CDATA[
  Growing Old Disgracefully is the perfect title for someone who took up stand-up comedy in their 60s. Growing Up At All would have been another suitable description, Virginia Ironside’s well documented battle with depression being an enormous factor in her life. Which makes her latest foray into comedy even more inspiring.
