GENERAL INTERVIEW
My Seven Wonders LIVE returns to your podcast feed!
From London to The Fringe, Clive Anderson is back with his much-loved live show podcast. From Issue #028, this is Breaking Bread with Stak…
My Seven Wonders with Clive Anderson is back and better than ever! Clive, the renowned host of Whose Line Is It Anyway?, Loose Ends, and a BBC Radio legend, is bringing his hilarious podcast to the stage for a series of entertaining live shows. But don’t worry if you can’t attend in person because each show will be recorded and released as a special live podcast for everyone to enjoy on their favourite audio platforms.
Known for his quick wit and engaging conversations, Clive has mastered the art of entertaining an audience. After years of broadcasting, there was no doubt that his podcast would be exactly the same delightful patter, welcoming a whole host of eccentric guests. However, last year started a new era of My Seven Wonders, bringing together Clive’s much-loved podcast format to the live stage, combining Clive’s masterful wit with the infectious reaction of a theatre audience. Previous guests have included John Bishop, Stephen Fry, and Dara Ó Briain amongst others!
This year, Clive, along with his award-winning producing partner Stak, is determined to give an even better live show experience through the podcast. They plan to introduce even more interesting celebrity guests and delve into their chosen weirdest and wildest wonders of the world.
The journey began at the Leicester Square Theatre back in May, where exclusive episodes from Clive’s spring shows were recorded. Clive was joined by special guests, satirical comedian and actor Rosie Holt, and British comedian Terry Alderton, to delve into their outlandish seven wonders of the world as well as their current career conquests. These shows originated from the success of Clive’s 2022 Edinburgh Fringe run, with audiences in London eager to witness the magic of Clive’s podcast on the live stage.
Then the show went all the way up to the bustling Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where Clive hosted 13 greatly anticipated live shows filled with a fascinating guest every night. However, Clive is no stranger to the Edinburgh Fringe stage. Not only did he bring his My Seven Wonders podcast there last year, but he first started performing there in 1981 whilst he was still practising criminal law! Who knew he would still be performing there 23 years later.
Previous episodes of the podcast have featured captivating guests like German comedian Henning Wehn, who revealed his past life in marketing a professional football club. The infamous pub landlord Al Murray joined Clive to share why France is one of his wonders of the world. Additionally, the brilliant Scottish comedian Larry Dean provided a hilarious take on his seven wonders, recounting his decision to step away from a life of crime and pursue a career in comedy.
The shows have received rave reviews from critics. The Scotsman describes it as “a pleasure to be in an audience as relaxed and entertained as this… a perfectly judged show,” while The Telegraph hails it as “a complete delight!” Now, with new live podcast episodes released every week, no one has to miss out on the action.
So, whether you’re sitting in the audience, listening on your favourite audio platform, or catching up on the live podcasts, My Seven Wonders with Clive Anderson promises an evening of laughter and fascinating conversations with some of the biggest celebrity names. Prepare to be entertained as Clive’s quick-witted banter and his guests’ peculiar wonders of the world take centre stage.
My Seven Wonders LIVE! was first released on Thursday 3rd August with new shows coming in every week. Listen wherever you get your podcasts.
