Back in the studio this week after a week of stand up comedy gigs, including a rather odd one in Liverpool where I had an altercation with five drunk loud-mouthed girls.

This week's podcast is full of contrast and contradiction. While it may  be our most angry, sweary episode, it's also probably our cutest, sweetest episode, as I recount a tale about my teddy bear Bingo, and how it led to my first comedy performance at the age of five. There's altruistic rapping, a spot of embezzlement, and can our glorious socialist potato-based utopia prevail? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Warning, there's nothing erotic going on, and we have the video to prove it.
