Comedy from Naph

We're celebrating the best creatives where we live with Nina Das Gupta, including:

• He began peeling potatoes and doing the dishes: Little did this Staffordshire sensation think that he'd end up with a social media following in the millions, with people from around the world falling in love with his unique recipe for hearty food, blended with honest Stokie narration - which has since led to a debut book deal. From Cheddleton, get to know Chef Thom Bateman.

• Discover the product from Shrewsbury that's gone well and truly international, made by a pair of Shrewsbury dads who unexpectedly met an an airport coffee shop. Experiencing a different kind of father's day, we shine the spotlight on Autism Dads, who are getting so big, they need their own studio!

• They're a bastion of our high streets up and down the West Midlands and a cornerstone of the community. It's Independent Bookstore Week - hear from stores in Oswestry, Worcester and Malvern who are breaking the mould.

• Rik Mayall, Bill Bailey, Victoria Wood, Steve Martin, Sarah Millican - if there's a comedian, he's photographed them all. Fresh from an exhibition at Birmingham Museums, hear from star-snapper Andy Hollingworth.

• Plus continuing our coverage of the Rik Mayall Comedy Festival, courtesy of a live performance from the Small Heath rising star of stand-up: When Naph isn't blending deadpan delivery with laugh-out-loud observations on life as a 21st century Muslim Brummie, she's running her own nights around the country which are getting bigger and bigger every time.
