A hit podcast brought to life; launched in lockdown and now 70 episodes in. Part game show and part chat show. Your host, London Welsh comedian Vix Leyton (me), holds an ever-changing numbered list of 30 possible subjects - from every day to current affairs - and every day invites four / five comics to compete to take the mic with stories, anecdotes, jokes or even songs, like a parlour game at the best fantasy dinner party you could ever imagine. There is also completely voluntary audience participation, which brings a real spark to the proceedings. It's a new panel every night of established names, national treasures and our hottest tips from the circuit. Since we started running it as a live show (with you at The Counting House back in 2021) we have done two full runs with Underbelly and The Stand and had guests including Mark Watson, Rufus Hound, Jess Phillips, Rachel Fairburn, Paul Sinha, Scott Bennett, Andrew O'Neill, Sarah Keyworth, Jordan Gray, Garrett Millerick, John Robertson, Rich Wilson, Alison Spittle, Sikisa, Tadiwa Mahlunge, Bec Hill, Charlie George, Lucy Porter, Will Duggan, Katie Pritchard, Sooz Kempner, Drunk Women Solving Crime, Michael Chakreverty, Daniel Foxx, Ada Campe and Eshaan Akbar.The game - fun.The rules - highly convoluted.The laughs - constant."Lives up to its billing likening it to a fabulous dinner party. Punters feel they are among spontaneously funny friends rather than hearing well-rehearsed professional anecdotes. We know these stories - and this particular alchemy - will not be repeated again." ★★★★ (Steve Bennett, Chortle)
