Next Episode: Now you're talking with Brian McGovern of Cool To Be Kind

I spoke to Actor/Comedian/Satirist Tom Walker who is most widely known for his on-screen character, Jonathan Pie. You’ll recognise Jonathan from his viral YouTube videos as the fictional frustrated news reporter that satirises the world of politics and media. Known for explosive “off-air” rants, Pie’s online videos have been viewed by millions worldwide.

I asked Tom AKA Jonathan about his rise to viral success, the challenges and reaction that comes from performing political comedy, how he went about converting an on-screen character to stage, his upcoming “The Fake News Tour” and his support for a Chelmsford based community project, Cool To Be Kind.

You can see Jonathan Pie - The Fake News Tour at the Hammersmith Apollo on 1st & 2nd November, at the Southend Cliffs Pavilion on 13th November and all over the UK too - tickets are available here.
