Comedian Andrew Hunter Murray: ‘The political landscape is ripe for satire’

Comedian, QI writer and Private Eye journalist Andrew Hunter Murray joins us this week to discuss his latest novel, A Beginner’s Guide to Breaking and Entering.


We talk with Andrew about satirising the housing crisis, the power of humour in storytelling, and how to humble the world’s billionaires using sudoku.


We also discuss the golden age of Twitter, Carrie Bradshaw’s questionable writing, and why Frasier is the ultimate comfort watch.


Catch Love Lives on Independent TV and YouTube, as well as all major social and podcast platforms.
