Angela Barnes to make her HIGNFY debut
...with Jo Brand returning for a 35th time
Angela Barnes is to make her first appearance on Have I Got News For You later this month.
The stand-up has hosted Newsjack and a series of The News Quiz on radio, but this will be her first time on the TV equivalent.
She will appear on episode four of the current series, airing on BBC One on October 25, with artist Grayson Perry on the opposing team. The host has yet to be announced.
At the other end of the HIGNFY experience scale, Jo Brand will make her 35th appearance on the programme as guest host of the following week’s episode, airing on November 1.
Panellists that week will be comedian Nabil Abdulrashid and Tom Peck, parliamentary sketch writer for The Times, as well as regulars Paul Merton and Ian Hislop.
