Radio 4 Word of Mouth with Elis James

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p06y2jm6

‘Michael Rosen talks to comedian Elis James about how to make language funny.’

Today’s programme is a very interesting and funny conversation about contrasting humour in Welsh and in English. Quite a lot here about how the two languages work differently in comedy and in everyday life. Recommended!
