This week on TalkBox, Rich Fulcher catches up with comedian, writer and book obsessive Ben Pope ahead of his limited Edinburgh Fringe run. They talk about the nepotism in showbiz, Ben's comedy upbringing and his love of British sketch comedy, from Armstrong and Miller to That Mitchell and Webb Look. Ben also explains how reviewing book-cover clichés became his first viral breakthrough and helped lead him into the book-related corner of the internet he's now thriving in. They also discuss the differences between a stand-up tour and a book tour, growing up surrounded by books, the realities of making comedy online, and Ben's upcoming Edinburgh shows. And somewhere along the way, Rich and Ben hatch the beginnings of a British wine business that absolutely should not exist.
