About the Show
Groskop is TV columnist for The Guardian and a regular on BBC Radio 4 (Front Row, Saturday Review, Loose Ends). She is a Funny Women Finalist and has hosted book tours for Jo Brand and Graham Norton.
Inspired by the award-winning podcast How to Own the Room (2 million downloads), BBC Radio 4’s Viv Groskop (Saturday Live, Woman’s Hour) presents this live show featuring chat, stand-up and insights into all the great tips and tricks you need to own the room. Presenting a mix of chat and comedy, Viv reveals the stories and gossip behind the podcast from Michelle Obama’s secret trick for avoiding a double chin and Hillary Clinton’s secret weapon (biscuits, actually) to Julie Andrews’ lucky charm and Professor Mary Beard’s backstage rider (basically gin). This show tells you how — whilst entertaining you at the same time. If you ever wanted to feel like a better public speaker without having to put in any effort – this is the show for you. This special Christmas show, with 100% of profits going to the Sheila McKechnie Foundation, features special guests including Jan Ravens.
