Backstage at SNL UK

Redditch's Lorna Rose Treen shares secrets from the set of Saturday Night Live UK. Plus Telford takes on the manosphere and a dose of live comedy in Congleton. With Nina Das Gupta.

We're celebrating the best creatives where we live with Nina Das Gupta, including:

• The local writer taking us behind-the-scenes of the biggest show in comedy right now, Saturday Night Live UK! Redditch's Lorna Rose Treen gives us the insight from set, at the legendary Television Centre, on getting her jokes on TV.

• For fans of the latest Louis Theroux manosphere documentary: Discover the incredible piece putting the spotlight on gender expectations in 2026, courtesy of an incredible filmmaker from Telford.

• 'Like Independent Venue Week but for live comedy': We're celebrating live comedy day, courtesy of an incredible night in Congleton whose traditional black-and-white timber-framed exterior hides a barrell full of laughs.

• Plus even more funny, courtesy of the Wellington supply teacher who, when he's not keeping his classes entertained, can be found up and down the stand-up circuit across the country.
