Tall Tales is bi-monthly comedy night which has seen the first drafts of various Radio 4 shows (Warhorses of Letters, Before They Were Famous, Some Hay in a Manger), stories which went onto Dave's Crackanory and first drafts of shows from Benet Brandreth, John Finnemore and Anna Savory.

NEXT LIVE SHOW - DATE SHIFT: TUESDAY DECEMBER 8TH - NORTH LONDON TAVERN - DOORS 7.15PM, SHOW 7.30PM

Year end schedule change is making this practically A XMAS SPECIAL! The likely cast includes Gareth Edwards, Susannah Pearse, Mike Westcott and, we think, the all-new episode of Anna Savory’s Taxidermy that Covid cheated of us in September. John Finnemore can’t make guarantees until the fearsome Traitors schedule lets up. If he can, he’ll be there but we’ll only find out late.

The show is at 7.30pm and it is incredibly helpful to us if you email to be on the door list. It’s also incredibly helpful to you if this happens to be one of the shows which randomly gets over-subscribed and we have to turn people away from. The address is talltalesnight@gmail.com and, unbelievably, the show still costs £5.

THE TALL TALES BROADCAST SYSTEM

This has now become Listen & Often. We are not a stand-up or current affairs show. Lots of podcasts do the news. Ours is a safe space away from that.
