West London’s finest pirate radio station Kurupt FM has gone from cult favourite to full-blown British comedy institution and it’s coming to Manchester
What started as DIY YouTube webisodes from a group of friends in Brentford evolved into the BAFTA-winning BBC mockumentary People Just Do Nothing, which ran for five acclaimed series between 2014 and 2018 and built a devoted international fanbase. Along the way, the Kurupt crew picked up support from artists and celebrities including Ed Sheeran, Craig David, Big Narstie and David Hasselhoff, while collecting a BAFTA and Royal Television Society Award for Best Scripted Comedy.
More than a decade after their first homemade videos, the Brentford crew remain a genuine cultural phenomenon, still broadcasting for the chamunity, still repping West London and still proving that “Kurupt FM, the rest are irrelevant.”
