About this show
Tom Mayhew (from BBC Radio 4's Benefit Scum) presents a WIP show about being a shy, awkward white boy who loved rap music and idolised 50 Cent. He got poor, but he's still tryin'. 'Authentic material we can relate to: funny, sharp, intelligent, meaningful and pleasing. Mayhew is a voice that needs to be heard’ (Chortle.co.uk). ‘The hour is studded with delightful little one liners. Genuine, powerful, political stuff. These are four stars for a voice that should be heard more, for comedy shining a light on some grim, unjust places’ (Scotsman).
