Broadcaster announces comedy pilots

Sketch duo The Delightful Sausage are making a Radio 2 pilot.

The enthusastically oddball double act comprises Amy Gledhill, who previously received the BBC’s Caroline Aherne Bursary in 2018, and Chris Cantrill.

They have performed three Edinburgh Fringe shows, with the latest nominated for the Edinburgh Comedy Award.

Their show will air on the UK’s biggest radio station in February as part of the broadcaster’s Funny Fortnight programming.

As part of the strand. Kiri Pritchard-McLean’s will also be performing her own  half-hour stand-up special, hot on the heels of her Radio 4 pilot Egg-sistential Crisis, about being a young adult not wanting children

And comedian Anuvab Pal has written a new sitcom set in colonial India which will also air as part of the season.
