Summary

Having been each other's best men, Jason Manford and Steve Edge discuss what this ancient and honourable task that dates back centuries, truly entails. The pair retell one another's stag do's and wedding days including the pressures of delivering a best man speech in front of a room full of comedians along with the moment Steve accidentally set fire to his speech. They are also joined by Lee, who travelled all the way to Australia to perform his best man duties and whose speech took an unexpected turn when he decided to include a last minute poem.
