Description

This week the boays are joined by comedian Alison Spittle.  Alison chats about growing up in rural Ireland, spending her teenage years going to parties in a creepy old man's house and trying to catch out predators in online chatrooms.  Plus, Alison recounts how she ended up reviewing films for the radio while still in high school, how radio led to her start in stand-up (and writing a joke at her first gig entirely from things someone told her not to talk about), and how lockdown inspired her and Fern Brady to start their popular BBC Sounds podcast Wheel of Misfortune.  Plus, there's chat of Shrek, Jedward (yes, again) Alison pranking childline and being prayed over by two rival Catholic & Protestant Irish politicians.A video version of this podcast is available on YouTube, where you can subscribe for all future episodes (and find all three of they boays' stand-up specials): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxeugCQL5zyVhd7pCEAi9GA We're now on Patreon!  Sign up for exclusive access for as little as £3 per month for an extra episode every two weeks plus footage from our previous live shows and first dibs on tickets to upcoming ones:https://www.patreon.com/somelaughYou can watch Stu, Marc & Steve's stand-up specials on the Some Laugh YouTube channel here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLM6lKn8dnMK5bOtlX-3XlCpZSf-B_qweQ&si=JjKknRTZvvza5l55Stand-Up Tickets:Marc: https://linktr.ee/MarcJenkoStu: https://linktr.ee/StuartMcPSteve: https://linktr.ee/stephenbuchananYou can follow Some Laugh on Instagram, Twitter and TikTok - and please remember to leave a 5 star review! Support the Show.
