  • SARAH KENDALL Comedian/Actor
    SARAH KENDALL Comedian/Actor Australian stand-up Sarah Kendall has established herself as one of the hottest talents on the international comedy circuit. Since bursting onto the scene at the 2001 Edinburgh Festival, the London-based Aussie has performed at many of the world’s leading comedy festivals, including Montreal, Kilkenny, Edinburgh, Melbourne and Hong Kong. During the 2002 Edinburgh Festival, Sarah was the only stand up comedian to win the prestigious Herald Angel Award. The following year she performed sell-out seasons at both the Sydney Opera House and the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. After a highly successful run at the Edinburgh Fringe, Sarah was one of only five acts selected by NBC to perform in their ‘Edinburgh Nights’ season in New York City, followed by a run at The Berlin Comedy Festival and the Stavanger Comedy Festival in Norway. In 2004, Sarah cemented her reputation as one of the top comics in the industry by becoming the first woman in nine years to receive a prestigious Perrier Award Nomination. Following her completely sold-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, she performed in the Perrier season at the Gielgud Theatre in London's West End. Sarah’s 2006 Edinburgh Festival show Attention Seeker was nominated for a Time Out London Comedy Award, and in early 2007 Sarah toured the show throughout the UK and Europe- including Barcelona, Madrid, Amsterdam, Milan, Rome, Luxembourg, Brussels and Paris, Helsinki and Copenhagen. She returned to the Edinburgh Festival in 2007 with My Very First Kidnapping. The show won the Three Weeks Editor’s Award for Theatrical Innovation, presenting a darkly comic and true story of college initiation that went horribly wrong.

  • Transcript for Professor Gernsbacher's Lecture Video: “Why Do We Binge-Watch?”
    Transcript for Professor Gernsbacher’s Lecture Video: “Why Do We Binge-Watch?” Ever had that experience of binge-watching a TV series, and you become so absorbed that you forget to eat lunch or you miss your subway stop? Or you keep clicking for the next episode and when you look up, the house has gotten dark around you, and you realize you’ve been watching for hours? Oh, wait just a minute. I read that wrong. Here’s the correct quote: CLICK - Ever had that experience READING A NOVEL when you become so absorbed that you forget to eat lunch or you miss your subway stop? CLICK - Or you’re TURNING THE PAGES so fast, when you look up, the house has gotten dark around you, and you realize you’ve been squinting to see the words. CLICK - We call this “getting lost in a book,” and we could all name a novel that has caused us to CLICK - Get lost in a book. In a Two Thousand and Fourteen article on the website, Thought Catalog, Francesca Saunders urges us to QUOTE “Curl up in your bed, on the floor, the backseat of a car, the plastic bench of a train. Open up a book and … Fall so deeply into this imagined world, [that you] forget where you are. You stop hearing anything that isn’t on the page in front of you.” UNQUOTE CLICK - What does getting lost in a book feel like? Saunders relates that QUOTE Getting lost in a book is like getting hit by a truck, like waking up at 10 pm from a nap.

  • John Osborne's Radio Head
    Lingua e comunicazione inglese III (cfu 3) (2/9, Friday 15 March 2013, h. 08:00–10:00, aula A8) prof. Iain Halliday Corso di laurea: Lingue per la comunicazione internazionale John Osborne’s Radio Head: Up and Down the Dial of British Radio The last paragraph of Osborne’s introduction to his book will serve us well for some linguistic considerations, and to help me create an introduction to this module: “I decided to do something with my love of radio. Despite being a regular listener since those early days of enjoying Just a Minute, I had barely scratched radio’s surface. Scrolling through the presets of my digital radio I realized how much radio there was that I had never heard, and would have no reason to listen to. So I started to tune in to a different station every day and wrote about what I heard. I listened from the moment I woke up, listened while I was at work and carried on until I went to bed. I had a job doing data entry and so was able to listen at my desk to the sounds of the radio stations of the UK rather than office conversations. I discovered stations I never knew existed, listened to shows I had never heard before, from Dynamite MC on Kiss FM to Woman’s Hour on Radio 4. I decided to try to learn about radio and speak to people I had grown up listening to, as well as those who worked in key roles in the radio industry.

  • Marcus Brigsto Marcus Brigstocke
    MARCUS BRIGSTOBRIGSTOCCCCKEKEKEKE The Brig Society ** Autumn UK tour dates announced ** “Dazzling, inspired, perfectly observed. I’ve yet to see anything funnier” - Daily Telegraph “Intelligent, dark, subtle stuff” - The Observer One of Britain’s finest comedians and broadcasters, Marcus BrigstockeBrigstocke,will be taking his hotly anticipated new show “The Brig Society” out on tour this autumn. The award-winning comedian is a firm favourite with comedy fans and his new show promises to be as quick-witted as his much loved catalogue of work. “The Brig Society” will, through the persuasive medium of jokes and anecdotes tackle the trivialities and complexities of life with joyful silliness and vengeful ire. This is The Brig Society. An invitation to re-engineer all the crappy systems that don't help us to be happy, live well, listen to good music, dance and eat whatever cheese we want to eat... Marcus will be performing “The Brig Society ” at the Edinburgh Fringe in August (nightly at the Assembly Rooms, Rainy Hall) with the UK tour due to kick off in mid September. In early September Marcus will be reprising his fantastically received role as King Arthur for the West End Production of award-winning musical Spamalot . Marcus’s talent was noted early on in his career in 1996 when he won the BBC New Comedian Award at the Edinburgh Festival. He is now regarded as a major comedy, writing and acting talent, performing stand up nationally to sell out audiences around the UK and globally at international comedy festivals. BBC Radio 4 has become somewhat of a second home to him with regular appearances on The Now Show and Just A Minute , and he has notched up an impressive list of TV credits including team captain on Argumental (DAVE) and the host of BBC4’s The Late Edition and I’ve Never Seen Star Wars.
