Ep 109 - Sue would like to hear Demis Roussos

This week Josh and Sean discuss Josh’s 50th birthday celebrations which took place the night before recording of this episode. They danced the night away at a north London vegan venue and met a few listeners of the podcast! The pair also discuss their favourite stand up comedians including Stewart Lee, Frankie Boyle, and Meg Stalter. Josh shares his thoughts on being a bit let down by the recent Kristen Schaal show he attended, although he was impressed by opener Chloe Petts. The episode also revisits the hosts’ love for Abigail’s party, the legendary filmed-for-television play featuring iconic actor Alison Steadman. It is the reason why Josh and Sean call each other Sue every episode!
