The Artiness Of Naughtiness

Friday 1 April
11.30am-12.00noon BBC RADIO 4

In The Artiness Of Naughtiness, broadcast on April Fool’s Day, Toby Amies discovers how tricksters have turned the poking of fun into an art form.

There are pranksters who have been determined to show people their folly all year round and most have philosophical, political and artistic reason to do so.

Toby investigates the reasoning behind pranking and explores why people will risk consequences as serious as prison to make a point or get a laugh. Sometimes, the motivation behind a prank is not always only a good laugh at someone else’s expense. It can be a very serious business.
