Event Has Passed

Last Show: Monday 8 th November 2021

Inspired by Dizzy Gillespie's 1964 run for President, comedian and self-confessed jazz anorak Marcus Brigstocke invites the nation’s greatest jazz-loving comedians, musicians and presenters to assemble their very own Cabinet of Jazz in this unique comedy series exclusively for Jazz FM. When Dizzy Gillespie ran for president, he wanted Duke Ellington as Secretary of State, Charles Mingus as Secretary of Peace and Miles Davis as Director of the CIA. Who will Marcus’ guests choose? Find out at PizzaExpress Live and be part of the audience as we record a ground-breaking new comedy series for transmission later in the year on the UK’s Jazz FM.
