Summary

This episode comes to you live from a Premier Inn room in Stevenage. That's showbusiness!

Our guest is Steve Hill, sports writer, roadie, and miserable but funny man.

We talk about his last decade driving for the Scummy Mummies, and how he's managed to finagle his way onto the stage. Listen in to discover what we fight about in the van, which curry Steve always orders, and how Ellie finds such nice pubs for lunch. Plus there's some incredibly lowbrow toilet humour and a debate about whether we'd have it off with Keir Starmer.

So all in all it's a bit of a silly summer episode as we take a break for the holidays. But we'll be back in autumn with new guests, and of course more shows - come and see us LIVE in Loughborough, Tonbridge, Exeter, Redruth, Bishop's Stortford, Tenbury Wells, Leamington Spa, Maidenhead, Potters Bar, Tewkesbury, Canterbury, Wimborne... For loads more dates and tickets, go to scummymummies.com.
