Simon Evans is Back! Waaaay back…

With growing evidence that we are living in a Computer Simulation – and a pretty glitchy, off-brand simulation at that – and the approaching watershed of the AI Singularity looming like a weirdly pixelated cumulo-nimbus on the horizon, BBC Radio 4 stalwart and veteran of a quarter century of highly acclaimed stand-up comedy Simon Evans is squinting at an uncertain future, and revisiting the blue remembered hills of his youth.

NB Any similarity of Doll in package to Patrick Stewart is coincidental. No refunds.

'A masterclass' ***** (The Scotsman).
'Outstanding' ****½ (Chortle.co.uk).
'Dynamite' **** (The Times).
