The boy from Bethnal Green, self-proclaimed 'intellectual cockney'
Micky Flanagan performs live stand-up on his 2011 'Out Out' tour.
The complete BBC radio series of Micky Flanagan's autobiographical
comedy show - plus pilot episode 'Excellent, funny and poignant'
Miranda Sawyer, The Observer Based on his Edinburgh Comedy
Award-nominated show What Chance Change?, Micky Flanagan's debut
radio series combines brilliant stand-up with insightful
behind-the-scenes interviews to tell the story of his life from the
1970s to the 2000s. These five episodes chart the Cockney
comedian's progression from working-class Herbert to middle-class
intellectual giant - and being awkwardly caught between both
worlds. Via hilarious jokes and sharply-observed comic routines,
Micky takes us from the mean streets of the East End to the leafy
lanes of East Dulwich, outlining his rise to fame from Billingsgate
fish porter to successful entertainer, from Sunblest to panini,
tabloids to broadsheets and the street party to the dinner party.
We hear how he left school without qualifications, ran away to New
York to be an international lover and player, returned to education
to become a teacher, and settled down with his wife and built his
stand-up career. Chatting to family, friends and special guests -
including sociology professor Paul Willis, millionaire plumber
Charlie Mullins, and fellow comedian Sean Lock - he considers how
his upbringing shaped his identity, discusses the thorny issue of
class and comedy, and explains how, over four decades, taking
chances has changed his life. Written and performed by Micky
Flanagan Produced by Tilusha Ghelani First broadcast on BBC Radio
4, 6 January 2009 (pilot episode), 25 May-15 June 2010 (Series 1)
