This week on Your Manchester, hosts Mark Llewellyn and Belinda Scandal bring you another lively episode packed with culture, conversation and some fascinating guests. We’re joined by cabaret star Paulus ahead of his upcoming show Looking For Me Friend, a joyful tribute to the music and comedy of the legendary Victoria Wood.

The team also chats with the iconic Manchester arts venue HOME Manchester about their exciting upcoming programme of theatre, film and visual art events coming to the city. Plus, we celebrate 25 years of Ballet Black with an interview with founder and artistic director Cassa Pancho, discussing the company’s groundbreaking impact on ballet and its continuing mission to bring greater diversity to the art form.  And in a rare and fascinating discussion, the show takes a closer look inside the manosphere, exploring the online movement and the conversations surrounding it. Expect laughs, insight, and a little bit of chaos — only on Your Manchester.
