Laura Solon Talking And Not Talking - Series 2

By: Laura Solon

Narrated by: Laura Solon

The complete second BBC Radio 4 series by Perrier Award winner Laura Solon. Laura Solon won the Perrier Award at the Edinburgh Festival in 2005 with her sensational debut show. She now returns to Radio 4 with a new series of her bittersweet comedy show packed with characters, monologues and sketches from this extraordinary writer and performer. There will be talking, not talking, some stories, and a lion made out of china. Aided by Rosie Cavaliero, Ben Moor and Ben Willbond, Laura Solon is a remarkable talent with an astonishing eye for detail and ear for voice. ‘The writing is as fresh as a cowslip, as sharp as a kitchen-knife, and sometimes as coarse as a fishwife’ - Telegraph '... moments of twisted genius' - Observer 'Talking and Not Talking is very clever' - Times 'Solon's series stood out for its self-assurance, its unforced oddness...' - Independent 'She's a remarkable talent' - Guardian 'Laura Solon is the new Catherine Tate' - Mail on Sunday©2009 BBC Audiobooks Ltd; (P)2009 BBC Audiobooks Ltd

Talking and not talking 2

This is brilliant, hysterican and inspired. I don't know how she does it. The characters are all highly original and funny, the sketches are not too long so it is fast paced. Can't wait for cd number 3!!!

Funny, funny, funny!

OK, this is not quite as fantastic as series 1, but it is still 95 percent better than most UK comedy downloads you'll ever try. Laura's wonderful characters--esp. the truly demented China lion lady and the upperclass owner of rat-infested Chingley Hall--are good company and hysterically funny. This is comedy that relies primarily on wit and character to launch the laughs. I can't wait for series 3!
