British Comedian Steve Coogan on Fresh Air

From Fresh Air:

“‘Comedian, writer and producer Steve Coogan, an icon of British comedy, is best known for playing his character Alan Partridge, the “nerdy radio DJ with a terrible taste in sweaters and an inflated ego.”…

In Coogan’s latest film, The Trip, he reunites with Brydon — but this time, the two men play fictionalized versions of themselves going on a restaurant tour of Northern England. Adapted from a BBC Two sitcom, the movie features the two men riffing off each other on a variety of subjects and interacting with various actors playing their relatives and friends.”
