So many of us are stuck at home but here to help amidst the strange days, to ease confusion, anxiety and continuous news checking, are Robin Ince and The Cosmic Shambles Network. A comedy festival we can all enjoy from our armchairs, The Stay at Home Festival mixes the best of what would have been at the Melbourne Comedy festival with top comedians, writers, scientists and artists. Every day, sometimes twice per day, Josie Long and Robin Ince give us music, poetry, science, comedy and conversation with (take a deep breath) astronaut Chris Hadfiled, Stephen Merchant, Ian Rankin, Bec Hill, Mark Gatiss, Katy Brand, Brian Cox (the professor one), Angela Barnes, Kiri Pritchard-McLean, Alex Horne, Andy Zaltzman, Lucy Porter, Russell Kane, Ed Byrne, Jo Brand, Stewart Lee, Tanita Tikaram, Sara Pascoe and Natalie Haynes plus cooking demos from George Egg and lots more to be announced. It's free to access but if you can and want to contribute, any profits made will go to acts and artists who have been hit hardest in a world where live performance has all but disappeared... for now. They're here to banish the boredom and to 'connect' us when we're in quarantine - they'll be taking questions live on the show via Twitter.
