Played Up!

Combining quick-witted improvisation with fantastic guests from the worlds of comedy, music, film and television, Played Up! is the archive radio show where the tapes don't exist yet! Hosted by the brilliant Tom Bacon, Played Up! turns guests' suggestions into sublime silliness, all performed on the spot by us!

Now in its second year at Roundhouse Radio, Played Up! has developed into a truly unique live format; warm, engaging interviews leading into sketches and songs, alongside recurring weekly segments during the 45-minute show and podcast.
