The Confession of Nigel Planer

The Confessional

Available for 10 days

Actor, comedian and broadcaster Stephen Mangan presents a comedy chat show about shame and guilt. Each week, Stephen invites a different guest into his virtual confessional box to make three confessions - with remarkable storytelling and surprising insights. In this unconventional chat show, he wants to see what really makes them tick by finding out what they are ashamed of! Stephen and his guest reflect with empathy and humour on why we get embarrassed, where our shame thresholds should be, and the value of guilt. In this episode, Nigel Planer - writer, actor and one of the original 鈥榓lternative comedians鈥, co-founder of The Comic Strip - wrestles with three episodes from his life that have been plaguing his conscience for decades - cool shoes and a disastrous voyage among them. Written and presented by Stephen Mangan. With extra material by Nick Doody. Producers: Dave Anderson and Frank Stirling A 7digital production for 麻豆社 Radio 4, first broadcast in June 2021.
