Summary

Delighted to have Alun Cochrane on the show this, especially after so many requests from the Patreons. Alun is a seriously smart and funny comic, who's been on a bit of a journey in terms of his relationship with the comedy circuit. It's fair to say he doesn't buy into the comedy groupthink. Not one bit.

with a small pool of water form in the middle of their chest, am I allowed to chest shame, guys?

1:06.6

Look, this is what most people think, so we do not worry too much about offending, you know,

By the way, that, that lemon juice paper cut thing, I don't know anybody specifically like that. Um, but no, it's showbiz. There's probably someone that does that.
