Palace of Laughter

Palace of Laughter was a radio comedy aired by the BBC on Radio 4 from 2002 to 2003.

A series of programmes hosted by Geoffrey Wheeler that visited old music halls in the British Isles, it focused on those that are particularly grand in their style of building.

The programmes have been played again on Fridays in 2006 on BBC 7. During their run, they can be heard at the BBC 7 Listen Again page.
