Summary

This week we’re in North London with the comedian and actor Marcus Brigstocke! Marcus doesn’t have a dog - however, he does have an elderly chameleon called Roy… maybe it's time for a "Walking The Chameleon" spin off?!


Marcus is absolutely fascinating and wonderful company - and our walk covers everything from being comfortable with being called ‘posh’, what it was like to work on an oil rig, and what it was like to overcome addiction as a teenager.


The second part of our chat with Marcus will be available to listen to on Thursday this week.


Listen to Emily’s walk with Marcus’s wife Rachel Parris from April 2022 here!


How Was It For You? with Rachel Parris & Marcus Brigstocke is available from 10th April wherever you get your podcasts

Briggstock, who's had a hugely successful career as a standup and is also well known

for his TV appearances on shows like Have I Got News for You, Live at the Apollo and would I lie to you.

0:24.7

Marcus doesn't have a dog but he did tell me about his chameleon who had me at the name

0:29.2

Roy frankly. I had the loveliest walk with Marcus partly because he was so open and honest but

0:34.8

1:39.1

Yeah, all right, Marlius. Well, isn't that right?

1:44.8

Listen, my Roy, my chameleon Roy, is very nearly nine,

1:51.9

and that I'm afraid is getting around the sort of record-breaking age for
