Alles Rare Groove-Fans sollte sich die wöchentliche Radioshow von Craig Charles nicht entgehen lassen. Listen!

Information zur Show:

Craig’s career began at the age of 12 when he won The Guardian Poetry Award. The runner up was 33 years old! He performed as a warm-up act for bands in Liverpool, and made his TV debut performing his poetry on Riverside and Wogan.

Craig is recognised the world over as Dave Lister – the curry-devouring, last-surviving human in BBC 2′s hugely popular sci-fi sitcom Red Dwarf. He has also been seen and heard as a performer or presenter on a whole host of programmes as diverse as Through The Keyhole, The Bill, Radio 4′s Kaleidoscope and of course the irresistible carnage of Robot Wars.

In the past Craig has been a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company, has toured his stand-up show and done panto (in Dick Whittington). He continues to front his own band, The Eye.
