Now, are all the traitors present?

Let's get started, shall we?

From rags to riches.

I'm so sick of this.

Working like a dog and being treated worse.

Yorkshire to New York.

Poor climbers, you and me.

A life dedicated to revenge.

Let's make this an occasion to remember.

Hello, Russell Howard here.

Right now, I'm in America on tour, and while I'm here, I feel it would be a good idea to record some special episodes of Wonderbox with comedians who rarely come to Britain. In case it's your first time listening, a Wonderbox is a place to keep things that remind you of all the best things from your life.

So that's what this is. Me and a guest talking about the things that make them happy.

My guest today is one of the funniest and most respected comedy writers in the United States.

He's best known for co-create and Chappelle Show and his specials, three mics and blocks are amongst the best on Netflix. This is Neil Brennan's Wonderbox. Hello, I'm Russell Howard. Dan, are you there, by the way? Dan Atkinson. There you go. That's our producer, Dan, who you can hear hear but you can't see. And I'm here with the wonderful Neil Brennan. Nice to meet you. We've, here's the, here it is. And yet again. Where did we meet? And that? Met you, ironically, in Ireland. It was in a tent. Yeah. The Ivy Gardens Comedy Festival. That's right. Yeah. Met you backstage. That may have been, if you enjoyed my special three mics, the first time I ever did three mics in a very shitty way. Wow. Because Trevor Null was backstage and he was like, are you doing that three mics thing?

I was like, no, I haven't even thought about it. He's like, you have to do it. No, you have to. So then I did it. And I was like running between my, it just was not. It didn't make any sense. So that was probably nine or 10 years ago. Yeah, right. And I think we both more or less looked the same. I think we're both taking care of ourselves. Yeah, you look great.

Thank you.

Did you know as soon as you'd done that show, even if it was a bit rough around We both more or less look the same. I think we're both taking care of ourselves. Yeah, you look great. Thank fucking thank you.

Did you know as soon as you'd done that show, even if it was a bit rough around the edges? You're like, okay. That one, no. But there were pretty much every other time I did it. I was like, all right, this works. Yeah. It's such a great special. Blocks is great too. Thank you for saying that.
