Happy new year! It's 2012, and What Are You Laughing At?: The British Comedy Podcast is back. Host Dave Cohen is once again joined by stand-up comedian Tony Cowards and BCG Editor Aaron Brown to chat comedy.

This week the trio are joined by top stand-up and comedy ex-pat Jim Tavaré, who's popped back to the UK for a short tour. As well as discussing Jim's career and experience working and living in LA, the boys look back at 2011 in comedy, look forward to what 2012 has to offer, and discuss the rise of Sky as an original British comedy broadcaster.
