Nina Conti chooses the Tracks of My Years

Nina Conti, award-winning queen of ventriloquism, chooses the Tracks of My Years. Ken has your daily love song dedications plus another round of PopMaster.

Nina Conti, award-winning queen of ventriloquism, chooses the Tracks of My Years. Nina started doing stand-up ventriloquism in 2002 and shot to fame by winning the 麻豆约拍 New Comedy Award that same year. Famed for her foul-mouthed 鈥榮idekick鈥� Monkey (Monk), Nina has won numerous comedy awards for her writing, acting and ventriloquism. She has taken many shows to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and appeared at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and the Montreal Comedy Festival. In 2016, her smash-hit solo show 鈥橧n Your Face鈥� enjoyed sell-out seasons in London鈥檚 West End and New York鈥檚 off-Broadway.

More recently Nina was a runner-up on 鈥楾he World鈥檚 Best鈥�, a US major talent show on NBC, produced an improvised web series, 鈥業n Therapy鈥� which has amassed over 1.5 million views since 2018 and joined forces with award-winning Shenoah Allen (The Pajama Men) to make the character comedy podcast, 鈥楻ichard & Greta鈥�, unqualified experts who explain how to get the most, or too much, out of your partner.

Following a four year absence Nina is now embarking on a UK tour with her new project - The Dating Show - opening at Bristol Old Vic at the end of October. She鈥檒l be like Cilla Black with masks. Derailed. Not so much a Blind Date as a re-voiced one. There is no promise that true love will be found but a firm guarantee that big laughs will be had in the reign of this quick-thinking queen of ventriloquism.

The first two tracks Nina has chosen come from Harry Nilsson and Madness. Ken also has the daily love song, record and album of the week plus PopMaster. If you'd like to get in touch with the show email Ken.Bruce@bbc.co.uk
