Scala Radio launches The Classical Comedy Club with award winning comedians

Scala Radio is working with four award-winning comedians, Isy Suttie, Sindhu Vee, Maisie Adam and Andy Parsons, who will each host new show, The Clasical Comedy Club on Sunday evenings on the station.

The comedians will curate a playlist of music that makes them and share anecdotes from their childhood, including their earliest memories of classical music and the people they associate with it. They will also reminisce about their favourite funny films and play music from the TV sitcoms that have kept them entertained over the years.

The four presenters each have a very different experience of classical music and will use their show to explore elements of comedy in classical music as well as learning more about the genre.

Isy Suttie who presents the first episode commented: “I think some people, and I include myself in this actually, can get intimidated by classical music and kind of think you’ve got to know who the composer is … So, I was really excited to be asked to do this and to think back on the classical music that has been part of my life that I didn’t even really realise was part of my life until I was asked to write it all down… I just want to take away the assumption that you have to have a kind of knowledge about it I guess.”

The Classical Comedy Club launches on Scala Radio this Sunday, 6 February for four weeks 6-8pm.
