Recordings for Toussaint Douglas and Bella Hull too

Grace Campbell, Toussaint Douglas and Bella Hull are to record their first stand-up shows for Radio 4.

Campbell has titled her special Neurotic Nepo in reference to the fact her father Alistair was Tony Blair’s notorious spin doctor.

Set for a late-night slot, the show is described as ‘a night out with your craziest friend who’s had too many glasses of wine… and captures those conversations at their funniest, messiest, most honest’.

Producers add: ‘For as long as she can remember, Grace Campbell has been told that she doesn't suit her name. But being graceful is no fun anyway. Growing up in a world of privilege and politics, she had a lot to feel confident about. But she was also a record-breaker when it came to feeling neurotic. 

‘Grace will introduce herself and her weird, privileged, political upbringing as Alistair's daughter, and discuss finding her own path, finding her own voice, and – importantly - making her own mistakes.’

She is recording the show on Wednesday November 25 at The Backyard Comedy Club in Bethnal Green, East London, as part of a double-bill with Douglass.

He is taping a version of his Edinburgh Comedy Award best newcomer-nominated show, Accessible Pigeon Material, in which he ‘talks life, love, loss and pigeons… quite a lot about pigeons actually… it’s pretty pigeon-heavy to be honest.’

Meanwhile, Bella Hull’s Guide to More Or Less Being Okay is being recorded at the same venue on December 7.

The show explores issues affecting Gen Z, from mental health, food, money, sex and love – and follows here appearances on the likes of Have I Got News for You, Live at the Apollo and QI. She is also a writer on Saturday Night Live UK.

Tickets for all the shows – originally announced in September – are available from Standing Room Only.
