Being an amputee with puns

Todays guest is Colin Leggo, a professional stand-up comedian, writer and current UK Pun Champion. He has taken many successful shows to the Edinburgh Festival as a performer, director and producer. In 2017, Colin was featured on the Daily Telegraph’s ‘50 best Jokes of the Fringe’ list, and in March the same year, an article about Colin’s joke writing process was featured in the Daily Mirror. He is a comedian with a fascinating story, we talk about his journey into a comedy, how he found out he had type 1 diabetes, how becoming an amputee gave him an angle and then we talk about how to create the perfect pun.
