Comedians join Scala Radio
Isy Suttie, Sindhu Vee, Maisie Adam and Andy Parsons are all set to host one-off classical music shows on Scala Radio.
Each stand-up is hosting an episode of The Classical Comedy Club, which will run on Sunday nights across February.
The broadcaster says the aim is to ‘prove that classical music doesn’t have to be serious, sombre or sentimental’.
In the two-hour episodes, the comics will share anecdotes from their childhoods, including their earliest memories of classical music and the people they associate with it, as well as reminiscing about their favourite funny films and sitcoms and play music featured in them.
Suttie, who presents the first episode, said: ‘I think some people, and I include myself in this, 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 knowledge about it.’
The shows air from 6pm for the next four weeks on digital radio, the Scala app or at Scalaradio.co.uk
