with Graham Oakes. Comedy vampires and Hugh Laurie.

Written By Emily Anderson

First broadcast 14 June 2022

Graham Oakes talks to me about his endeavours in stand-up comedy, in sketch groups, and in creating YouTube videos. He tells me about how he prepared for his first stand-up gig while carrying mattresses through Newcastle, and about what happened when a community of "real" vampires took against one of his YouTube videos. Graham also created the artwork for unfinishing and if you'd like to see some other examples of his work, you can find them here: ⁠@grahamoakesart
