The Liverpool Comedy Festival is something to be proud of in the city. It captures the imagination of a collection of people for whom humour is their greatest asset. It has seen them through everything, from recessions, depressions and war, through political battles and turmoil. It has given them armour when the nation’s eye has turned against them and it has laughed alongside them and it has sheltered them from the worst excess of degeneration that the island of Westminster has seen fit to try and hurl their way. No amount of mud-slinging, of false accusations, so called friendly fire and destructive bombs can stop the people of Liverpool from enjoying it seems a well-timed joke, great plays, the well-armed comedian and the poets who set out to raise a smile.

Liverpool Sound And Vision: The Sunday Supplement, An Interview With Mike Neary.
Some moments in life are so wonderfully off kilter and off the cuff that you cannot help but smile at the situation they surround. Tea in hand at the Everyman Theatre, tape recorder ready and a barrage of thoughts on how to talk to a man who has made the art of the interview a joy to behold in modern times, Peter Gabriel’s seminal solo song Games Without Frontiers comes over the building’s P.A. Knowing that Mike Neary is a huge fan of early Genesis and knowing that he is listening to the intelligently written lyrics with the same appreciation and thought that he prides himself upon when listening to any of the major interviews he conducts for Gemma Aldcroft’s and Karen Podesta’s hugely well produced Little Atoms company in St. George’s Hall, puts me at ease. After all it can be a daunting task interviewing somebody who in a media driven society stands aloft and above 99 percent of interviewers concerned.
Liverpool’s Little Atoms To Interview Jamie Carragher And Lord Heseltine As Part Of Their In Conversation Series.
Little Atom Productions is delighted to announce the next two guests in the successful Liverpool ‘In Conversation’ Series.
Continuing the signature format, which sees guests who are natives of or have a strong connection to the city interviewed live on stage and their five favourite pieces of music performed by five separate live acts, the next two guests in the series are both hugely important to the city but for very different reasons; Liverpool F.C. legend Jamie Carragher and ex-‘Minister for Merseyside’, Lord Michael Heseltine.
