Sunday Brunch, Too Many Murders & Are You A Company Or Are You An Idiot?
Show broadcast on 24 March 2018
Before you listen to this week's podcast.... Do you think Elis wins Made Up Games or not? He really does try his best. There were absolutely tons of E-mails to get through this week, so prepare yourself for a bumper pack of wackaging. There's plenty of shame, bags of badinage and all the analysis of John's appearance on Sunday Brunch last week.
John's introduction of Elis
"To my left, a man who has not been abroad since 2002. Repeated pleas by his fiancée to venture outside of the UK have met with a number of excuses ranging from: Japan - too cold. Italy - too hot. Germany - too mild. "
Conversations and riffs
John was on Sunday Brunch and gained more Twitter followers and positive comments than when he does his actual stand-up. He brought the show to a stand-still with his #GriefIsLiving bit. Elis compliments John on having "grown into his face".
