Are there any words more guaranteed to strike terror into people's hearts than climate comedy?

Well, I thought so, and then I took my show Spoilers to the Edinburgh Festival and everyone bloody loved it,

including Brian Eno, if you can believe that. You can see it at the Soho Theatre from the 29th of November for four nights get your tickets at Stuart Goldsmith.com.

Yazzi Croshaw a curveball guest I'm very excited to speak to him not only is he not

a stand-up comedian but he is also not really a performer. In fact, if anything, he's closer to a reviewer.

But he's not a comedy critic, he's a reviewer of video games and for the last 12 years has produced

over 700 videos entitled Zero Punctuation, and lots of other content besides,

not to mention having written a few books as well. We're going to talk about all of those things

and really get under the skin of what drives Ben and we hear some

fascinating revelations about exactly why his video series which is very

scabrous and funny and scathing criticism of video games.

We're going to find out exactly why it is created in the manner in which he creates it.

So without further ado, this is Ben Yartzi Croshaw.

Let's let's begin there because I know we have we have portal two in common as a favorite video game so even though you have

is that your favorite still I believe that's the case or a positively reviewed one portal two oh yeah

it's one of my favorites oh Oh my God, it's wonderful, just wonderful. A door that shoots guns. It's just, I'm so excited about the concept. I've gone, but forgive me a gun that shoots doors. Yeah, one does.

Yeah, yeah, that's portal three,

and you know what to out today.
