Welcome to the page for Gary Mitchell's current comedy work.

By Jove! You'll need to scroll down for this page... Bits are - GARY'S BIT / COMEDY TO A RADIO NEAR YOU...


GARY'S BIT

Gazza tends not to produce much NEW comedy outside of his groups 'Project X' and 'Radio Boscombe' , so you'll need to view these pages for further details. Click here for activity of 'The Drunkards' estate.

For Gary's solo stuff as a novelist see his 'Home Page' . View 'For Sale' for details of current 'product'. Gary has a 'MySpace' site - as a registered comedian - that he rarely uses!!

COMEDY TO A RADIO NEAR YOU...

June 2007 was the start of the regular 08:45 AM broadcast of comedy material by DJ Tim Heywood on 'Hope FM's' 'The Weekend Breakfast Show' by Gary's groups 'Project X' and 'Radio Boscombe' , and by other performers. The run ended in Sepetember 2009 with Tim's departure from the show. For associated charity product see 'For Sale' page.

'Writing and recording for 'Hope' ', says Gary, ' is a bit like the early days with The Drunkards. We didn't do a tape until Jan '78, before that it was record a sketch, then play it at parties and stuff. This is back to thinking of individual stand-alone pieces again. I hope we'll do a CD of the best tracks broadcast to benefit both us and 'Hope''.

Other 'Hope' shows re-broadcast the material - plus archive tracks. Gary and co still also regularly appear on the Wednesday night arts show, 'Livewire Live' - so click for schedule. Further radio stations have also got in on the act - 'Radio Boscombe' have also appeared on 'Forest FM's drivetime 'Laura Jerome Show'.
