Episode 208
James Acaster, Irish Elis and Garlic, Chilli or Ginger
Show broadcast on 24 February 2018
So John's off touring the world (UK) this week, but never fear as we were treated to James Acaster, who joined Elis to tackle a classic Humblebrag or two and play another one of your quallo Made Up Games. As well as talk of an obscene amount of Nakd bars (70?? Really?!) and a blast from the past with James' Classic Scrape.
John's introduction of Elis
"(Elis' intro) John Robins has taken the day off to google images of the Royal Mint in Llantrisant in a bid to calm himself enough to sleep. However, what an able replacement we have for you... To my right, if he were a car he'd be a Ferrari, if he were a whisky he'd be a Talisker, if he were a bassist he'd be Flea from Red Hot Chilli Peppers, but it's comedy's very own James Acaster. "
