Sacha Baron Cohen: New Hero of Comedy

Borat

New Heroes of Comedy celebrates the success of Sacha Baron Cohen, the comic genius behind Ali G and Borat.

From a five-minute character feature on Channel 4's satirical late-night comedy series The 11 O'Clock Show to internationally renowned superstar, this one-hour show documents Sacha's meteoric rise.

How did this privately educated London boy find himself listed among Time magazine's 100 'People who Shape our World' 2007, breaking box-office records and winning a multitude of awards, as well as global notoriety?

Insights from his allies, conspirators and, of course, victims help provide a definitive biography of the man who put Kazakhstan - and Staines - on the map.
