26 Apr 06, 4:50 PM - They're coming to take me away
Posted by Crippled Monkey
It's that old question again about who can laugh about disability, why should we laugh and when.
Listen to Radio 4 this Thursday morning for They're Coming To Take Me Away Ha Ha. Actor and comic John Sessions - with a little help from his guests - takes a close look at how comedians have taken the subject of mental health and tackled it head on over the years. What's the fascination?
It first airs on Thursday 27 April at 11:30am or late on Sunday night, 30 April, at 12.15am. Both on Radio 4. After it's first broadcast you'll be able to listen again on the Radio 4 website. Amazing, really.
