The poet laureate of alternative comedy, John Hegley, entertains an audience with his book of verse.

Over three series and in front of live audiences across the UK, John Hegley presents tales of the Tate, a jumble sale and an armadillo; poems dedicated to Bonfire Night and not waving; songs about glasses; plus a surreal adventure in a Tardis-like kennel. He offers a musical ode to Jimmy Greaves, a paean to privacy, and a paper plane proposal during school assembly. The joyous possibilities of flannel, fennel and funnel are also investigated. The nation's second favourite comic poet asks, "How long is your dog?", and discovers that, sometimes, a poem doesn't necessarily want to be a poem.

With musical accompaniment from Nigel Piper and the Popticians.
