Show 376. Dr Sharon Lockyer

  • Summary

  • Dr Sharon Lockyer


    The live comedy industry is worth around £1bn annually to the UK economy, yet it doesn't get included in government conversations about the arts.


    As a result, it doesn't receive the financial support that other arts forms routinely get.


    To understand why, and to explain the wider impact of live comedy on society, Matt is joined by Dr Sharon Lockyer from Brunel University.


    Comedy. It's a serious business.
