Welcome to the off-menu podcast, taking the bovril of conversation, putting it in the mug of humour and adding the hot water of friendship.

A cup, nice cup of bovril, James.

Beefy boy.

That is Ed Gamble. My name is James A. Cassidy.

We own a drink restaurant every single week.

We invite a guest and ask them their favourite ever start.

A main course dessert, side dish and drink, not in that order.

And this week, our guest is Sean McLaughlin. Sean McLaughlin, one of the finest comedians in this here land. So funny. So funny. Such a funny guy. I've known Sean for years and years and years. He's always been brilliant. Yeah. And is on tour now. He's on tour now. He's on tour now. White elephant going all over the place. Sean tours Europe. He tours the States. He tours the UK. You've got to go and see Sean. If you don't know Sean's work, I'd say go and watch some now and then buy yourself a ticket because he is genuinely brilliant. I'd say every comic that you like, likes Sean McLaugh. Yes, absolutely. He's a comics comic, isn't he? He absolutely is. But increasingly is becoming the public's comic. As well he should be. Absolutely. And here's, here's the thing, Ed, we will chuck Sean out if he says the secret ingredient. I'd like to chuck Sean out.

Yeah, it'd be so much fun.

Yeah.

Because Sean, you know, can be a bit of a commodgian on stage. He's so exasperated. He's so great to get him angry and kick him out. Yeah. And this week, the secret ingredient is... Elephant. It's elephant, because he's doing a show called White Elephant. so I don't think we're going to be able to kick him out because that's what...

I don't think anyone's ever picked elephant as a meal.

No, but, you know, he might see the opportunity to plug his show. Choose Elephant just to plug it and then be immediately punished. Yes. For thinking with his career rather than his stomach. Also, talking about his career. Go on. He's got a web series coming out. Yeah, he's not told us what it's called yet. No. We know he's got a web series, but we don't know the title yet. Because at the time of recording, the web series is not started. Not started. But hopefully by the time this comes out, the web series will be available to watch on YouTube. Be on YouTube.

It'll be Sean, I believe, interviewing people.

But, like, that's all we know.

Yeah.

So he's said that he wants to tell us on the podcast.

Yes.
