This is a hybrid gig, hosted in partnership with The Bowden Rooms in Altrincham. Tickets to watch it in person are available here.

They said it would never happen. Some said it should never happen… Yet here we are.

24th March 2004 saw the world heritage radio site of the Mark and Lard show come to an end with a resounding ‘STOP…’!

Now, a full 20 years later, we can finally say an equally resounding ‘…CARRY ON’!

Like the day Neil Armstrong stepped onto the moon (if you were born then – if not, skip this bit), or when Alan Bradley got run over by a Blackpool tram on Coronation Street (ditto), everybody can remember where they were on that fateful day in Radio 1 history. Listening to the radio. Obviously.

Now, following high level negotiations after a chance meeting between Fat Harry White and Scoff Cruddle at a Bedford Rascal Enthusiasts rally, Mark Radcliffe and Marc Riley have been coaxed back into the world of light entertainment.

You are invited to join them for ‘Carry On: An Evening with Mark and Lard‘. This will be the first time the same-sex Krankies of the airwaves will reveal what went on behind the scenes of what Dave Bowie (of the Dave Bowie Band) called: THE show’!

The ordeal will begin at 1900 hours, assuming everyone gets their act together. Long time close showbiz friend of the pair, though she tends to play this down these days, Katie Puckrik will host an hour-long conversation with the former wireless heart-throbs, which will be followed by a short intermission. After re-centring themselves over a crystal, Mark and Lard will then submit to a no-holds barred probing, taking questions from both the theatre and interweb audiences. See you all soon!
