BBC Radio Solent's Stand Up for Comic Relief

  • Published

Can you imagine anything more terrifying than standing on stage trying to make people laugh?

Well that is the challenge fearless BBC Radio Solent mid-morning presenter Alex Dyke has taken on - and he wants your support!

For this year's Red Nose Day appeal Alex will be raising money - and hopefully a few laughs.

He will be writing a routine, then performing it in front of a crowd as part of Stand Up for Comic Relief.

Comedy favourites

Alex said: "I'm really nervous and I'm never nervous - I'm still working on a theme and a style!

"My favourite comedians are Phil Silvers as Sgt Bilko and Eric Morecambe, but I know I'm not going to be that funny."

Alex will perform his routines at Gullivers Bookshop, Wimborne on 7 March at 1430 GMT.

You can follow his progress on the mid morning programme on BBC Radio Solent.
