Armando Iannucci | An Epic Poem for Our Times | Edinburgh International Book Festival

Emerging from the same BBC Radio production that launched the careers of Chris Morris, Stewart Lee and Steve Coogan, Armando Iannucci has been at the forefront of British satire for over two decades.
In 'Pandemonium' he turns his eye to the pandemic and Brexit in the form of a mock epic poem. Iannucci pairs his sharp insight into politics, media and culture with his love of the truly absurd, to unmatched comedy effect. He speaks with Jenny Niven.

Thanks for this interview. Having just read 'Pandemonium', I needed some help unpacking it.
