Summary
Writer, comedian, and actor Olivia Lee (Balls of Steel, T4, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno) and writer, actor, podcaster, and comedian Cariad Lloyd (Griefcast, Sara & Cariad's Weirdos Book Club podcasts, Austentatious, and new book Where Did She Go?) for an episode that asks, where even are the neurotypicals?
Cariad shares about her days doing character comedy, specifically her alter ego the Sanitary Bag Lady - a woman dressed as a bathroom disposal bag who screams at men about periods - and the night a man in the audience stood up to fight her.
Olivia tells us about a perimenopause-induced sleep crisis, a celebrity neighbour's black market melatonin, and no memory of whether she'd dropped her children off at school.
Jameela tells the stories of a lamp falling out of the sky and splitting her head open at 19, her caffeine withdrawal hallucinations during her own T4 days, and why marshmallow crocodiles will always be her #1.
Plus high speed childbirth, music festival flatulence, 50 hour marathon improv psychosis, and a husband who was still holding his salt beef sandwich when the crash team arrived.
You can find Cariad on Instagram at @cariadlloyd. Austentatious perform regularly in London's West End and on tour. Cariad's new children's book Where Did She Go? is out in May 2026 and available for pre-order now.
You can find Olivia on Instagram at @olivialeetv. Her special, Mindful Mum "was the first album of its kind, featuring x-rated angry meditation tracks." She is currently performing live comedy, writing scripts and staying away from Planet Organic.
Jameela's Substack is A Low Desire To Please, you can also find her on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube.
Our consulting producer is Colin Anderson.
Wrong Turns was created and produced by Jameela Jamil and Stewart Bailey.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to wrong turns the show where dignity goes to die where we tell tales of |
| 0:13.7 | horror and misery and woe and humiliation and we decide to not shove a silver lining up your |
| 0:20.4 | ass about it, all right? We're just here to marinate and the shame together as one. It's bonding. This is a bonding show that makes other people feel better about their lives every week because they're not us. Okay? That's why we're here. And I'm always joined by my favourite funny people. And this week I have a writer, comedian and actress. She's a fellow T4 alum, Channel 4 alum, rather. T4 alum. I did T4. Yeah, you did T4? Way about that. Way before you. Oh, sure. Yeah. I paved the way. Yeah, you walked so I could crawl. Yeah. She performed on balls of steel. What a star turn that was. Nauty bits and the tonight show is Olivia Lee. Oh, thank you. What a nice way. I'm also thrilled to welcome a writer, actress, podcaster and comedian who's a member of the improv group, Ostentatious. She is the creator and hosts of the award-winning podcast, Griefcast, and her latest children book is Where Did She Go, A Heartfelt Story to Help Children Understand Loss? It's how I pronounce your name? |
| 1:18.0 | It is exactly as it's spelled. |
| 1:19.1 | Great. |
| 1:19.7 | I love that. |
| 1:20.7 | Nice and easy. |
| 1:21.7 | So great. |
| 1:22.6 | As soon as I saw it, I was like, that was far too easy. |
| 1:24.9 | No, people panic because it's Welsh and they're like, are they expecting it to be like. |
| 1:27.9 | Yeah, I'm like, creed. |
| 1:28.4 | Yeah. |
| 1:28.9 | Yeah. |
| 1:29.8 | But it's not because it's Welsh and they're like, are they expecting it to be like, |
| 1:27.9 | but it's not, it's Harry Adloid. |
| 1:32.2 | My mum wrote my, change the spelling of my name, so that it would be phonetic for white people. |
| 1:36.7 | And yet they still call me Jamila, which is insane. |
| 1:39.8 | So what was it supposed to be? It was supposed to be J-A-M-I-L-I-L-A. And she was worried people call me Jamila. So she changed it to Jamila, but it hasn't made a blind bit of fucking difference. And then the fucking singer Jamelia came along and totally fucked my name. That made everybody panic. And now every time she gets into trouble for saying controversial shit, I get all of her hate mail. And then I have to redirect it to the other one. |
| 1:41.4 | I'm like, sorry, you meant to send this to at Jamelia. |
| 2:01.8 | All the things you told me about your mom, that's the thing she was worried about. |
| 2:06.5 | Yeah. |
