2015 Funny Women Awards runner up Sarah Keyworth is set to record her first BBC Radio 4 comedy series. Across four episodes the show, titled Are You A Boy Or A Girl?, addresses themes of gender fluidity in a similar vein to Keyworth’s Edinburgh shows Dark Horse and Pacific.

Are You A Boy Or A Girl will be recorded in front of a virtual audience via Zoom.

The BBC says: “Join Sarah as she looks back on her own funny, ridiculous and bizarre experiences, and attempts to shed light on why gender still remains such an important issue in the 21st Century.”
