Ellie Taylor’s Safe Space: Series 1-3: A BBC Radio Stand-Up Comedy Show

All twelve episodes of Ellie Taylor's hilarious show, in which she explores controversial subjects with help from the studio audience and sidekick Robin Morgan

Comedian, actor and bestselling author Ellie Taylor welcomes us to her 'safe space', a place where anyone can air their views, gripes and dislikes without fear of persecution. Assisting her on her confessional journey are sidekick Robin Morgan and members of the audience, who share their own dark and disturbing beliefs at the beginning of each show.

Having heard from them, Ellie goes on to get her own opinions off her chest. Through stand-up and sketches, she gives us her hot take on topics such as masculinity, the environment, parties, the news, the Internet and billionaires. Talking to special guest experts including fitness instructor 'Mr Motivator', travel journalist Simon Calder, The Traitors' Amanda Lovett and her own mum, Ellie discusses whether exercise and holidays should be banned, explains why she thinks reality TV is culturally significant and asks whether having kids has ruined her life.

Are parties more hassle than they're worth? Is monogamy really all it's cracked up to be? And should the UK break up into lots of little kingdoms, Game of Thrones-style (but with fewer dragons)? Get ready to have your beliefs challenged and your minds blown, as Ellie tackles these questions and more...
