Join us for a live podcast recording of BEST DAY EVER – The Game of Everyone You Know - where a panel of fascinating people from the worlds of comedy, performance and clowning will compete to curate an absolutely smashing day.
At this very special re-inaugural/return/relaunch event, theatremaker Frankie Thompson will be our very special guest – deciding the who, what and when of her perfect day based on suggestions from the players and the audience.
Hannah Maxwell will host, guiding us as unobtrusively as possible through each round, in a Radio-4-but-make-it-gay way.
Created by Glyn Maxwell & Hannah Maxwell, BEST DAY EVER is sweet, absurd and hilarious; a much-needed moment of lightness in these increasingly dark times.
