Isy Suttie wins Sony Radio Awards Gold

Isy Suttie has won the gold award in the comedy category at the Sony Radio Academy Awards 2013 for her Radio 4 show Pearl And Dave.

British Comedy Guide, 13th May 2013

Comedian Isy Suttie tells the story of how her pen pal Dave met this girl called Pearl at Butlin's - a place where "within two hours of arriving you can get chips or felt up" - and their tentative attempts at hooking up via Facebook and Skype. On paper it has the whiff of one of those dreadful Simon Bates Our Tunes, but this is funny, perceptive and none the worse for its songs and old-school vibe. In contrast, Suttie briefly relives one of her own relationships, comparing it to an old sick dog who's continually fed sugary biscuits to keep it alive. A cracking little show, making you yearn for a longer set.
