Brit Comedian Simon Amstell Sings Americas Praises - Public Radio's The Dinner Party

English comedian Simon Amstell has just crash-landed on American shores…and we’re all the better for it. Simon’s the former host of the beloved BBC shows “Popworld” and “Never Mind the Buzzcocks” - an interview show that skewered celebrity culture. He’s also co-writer and star of the British sitcom “Grandma’s House.” This week, in New York, he’s launching his biggest US venture yet - the smart, self-deprecating stand-up show “Numb.” He talks about about stage-storming and sex in museums…and then turns the tables on Brendan.
