Fresh from her new show on BBC Radio 4, award-winning comedian Eleanor Morton returns with a show all about mermaids and why she wants to be one, even though she can't swim. A show all about wanting to be beautiful, mythology, 2000s magazine sex tips, rat boyfriends, and James Cameron's submarine. Justice for Nicola Roberts. Praise for 2024's show Haunted House: 'Belly laugh funny' ****½ (Metro). **** (BeyondTheJoke.co.uk). **** (Skinny).
