Lauren's joined by the writer and comedian Simon Amstell who's just published Help, an account of his ongoing compulsion to reveal his entire self on stage.
Simon did his first stand-up gig at the age of thirteen. His parents had just divorced, puberty was confusing, and he found that trying to be funny helped. He's certainly flourished in this field, with live tours, the television series Grandma's House, and his first feature-length film Carnage.
Lauren also puts another listener behind the decks at the Desert Island Disco, there's more new music for our Just Added playlist, a Headphones Moment and a bunch of top tunes to bring in the weekend.
