"I'm a sceptic. But don't take my word for it. Or indeed anybody's. For anything...."

This is the basic premise of Mitch Benn's new critically acclaimed show. It's a show that hopes to make you laugh while you think as Mitch debunks myths, exposes nonsense and grapples with the very nature of knowledge itself extolling the virtues of an evidence-based approach to life.

Not only is Mitch the musical star of BBC Radio 4’s The Now Show, but following on from the success of Mitch Benn Is The 37th Beatle last year, a further three specials on music icons Bob Dylan, David Bowie and Elvis have recently been broadcast on BBC Radio 4: The Freewheelin' Mitch Benn, Mitch Benn Is The Fat Pink Duke and Mitch Benn Has Left The Building.

Last year he also co-presented with Harry Shearer BBC Radio 2's Anatomy Of A Guitar and presented Spank The Plank for BBC Radio 4.

Mitch is also the author of two novels, Terra and Terra's World, both published by Gollancz and co-author with Jon Holmes of The Twitter History Of The World the paperback edition of which was published by Prion Books in September 2015.
