I know you’re tired. Fed up. Everything is bleak, dark and miserable. But enough about Norwich City. It’s January and that means it’s time again for Karl Minns to take a bug-eyed look at his favourite local news stories of 2026. Featuring a couple of his favourite bits from A Quick Dip In The Yare with lots of brand new material about Anglia Square, bad smells, Prince Andrew’s latest escapades, Kings Lynn swingers and all the latest news from Ipswich.
Plus he’ll be ably supported by an ably supported superstar of the Larkman. Expect jokes, songs, slides and moderate cross-dressing. Start 2027 as you mean to go on by watching a man trying to convince you there was anything remotely funny about 2026. May contain mentions of Mulbarton.
