David Baddiel

Joining Vernon this week is the comedian, broadcaster and author David Baddiel who will take us on his honest and unusual 10-track journey in Tracks Of My Years.
He came to widespread attention through the comedy troupe “The Mary Whitehouse Experience” and rose to the 'A-list' creating the spin-off duo Newman & Baddiel. After splitting with Rob Newman, David found even bigger success with Frank Skinner and their 'Fantasy Football' show, first on the BBC, and then later on ITV and we’ll hear about they created their huge football anthem “Three Lions”.

In later years David has toured his own stand-up shows such as “My Family: Not The Sitcom” and “Trolls: Not The Dolls”, plus he's become a respected commentator, author and playwright. David’s books have sold over 2.5 million copies with translations into 30 languages, and his children’s books have won some of the highest accolades in the genre.

His latest is “Small Fry”, a David vs Goliath adventure story about a boy called Benny who spends his weekends helping his dad work at their burger van parked outside the local football ground. He starts as he means to go on with comedy it’s The Goons and “The Ying Tong Song”.
