The generation games

R4 pits old comics against new

Radio 4 is making a new panel game, pitting three generations of comedians against each other.

Three teams in Act Your Age will represent the ‘up-and-comers’, the ‘current crop’ and the ‘old guard’, to be captained by Jon Richardson, Lucy Porter and Roy Walker respectively.

The shows, which will start recording from later this month, will be hosted by Radio 5 Live’s Simon Mayo and feature 'a series of comedy games and challenges'.

To be in the studio audience, see our free tickets page.
