GM Fringe: Mitch Benn – Asking Elvis

Mitch Benn is Asking Elvis

The King is back! Mitch Benn resurrects Elvis from BBC Radio 2’s legendary “Steve Wright in the Afternoon” show, to answer hunks of burning questions about life, death, cheeseburgers and everything in between… including the story of how Mitch managed to be possibly the most popular thing on the most popular show on British radio for over ten years, without anyone ever knowing it was him.

If YOU have a question for Elvis, go here. Thankyouverymuch…

Mitch Benn is a comedian, author, satirical songwriter, musician and actor and is widely acknowledged as one of the best writers/performers of comedy songs in the UK. He is perhaps best known as the resident comic songwriter on BBC Radio 4’s The Now Show from 1999 to 2016.
