Gyles Brandreth

As you know, Michael Ball is a neighbour of mine here in southwest London.

He's also, he really is very sweet about Rosebud.

He's a regular listener and he's been a guest with Alfie Bowe.

I will get my voice dubbed by Michael Ball.

You'll get yours dubbed by Belle.

So it's Belle and Ball.

You think you're coming to see Brandreth and Jane, but actually it's Belle and Ball.

You are joking.

You are so sweet.

I'll tell you what I'm really enjoying, and then we must read the diaries.

I'm really enjoying the rehearsal process.

And I want you to enjoy it because, as any actor will tell you, the rehearsal process is the most exciting and interesting part.

That is good, but it only works if you've done the rehearsal process.

When you get onto the stage and you think, oh, I wish I'd rehearsed more.

You've got a Michael Ball story, haven't you, Harriet?

But it shows how nice Michael Ball is that he just took it on the chin.

Anyway, do please come and see us in Edinburgh.

Whoever turns up on the stage, we hope it'll be a fun one.

To book for Edinburgh, you simply go to

Well, the Rosebud website.
