Hello, Jen here. Happy Christmas, you lot. As a little treat to you, and in the absence

of regular live shows over the last couple of years, we've all gone and picked a blast

from the gig cast past for your Aural pleasure. I said Aural, you might remember, and if

you don't, you're about to remember forever that at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2018, in the

most fucking glorious bit of festival programming ever. Louisa Omalan, Jeanine Garofalo, and

Sue Pollard all happened to be in the same city at the same time. Has that ever happened

before? I don't know, maybe. Have they ever been brought together on the stage before,

alongside the boss Sarah Millican? Uh-uh. Who could have possibly known what the world

had been missing up until that point? Because, listener, if it's not abundantly clear from

my giddy tone, fuck yeah, we brought them together on stage. Now, I might have mentioned

on this podcast before that Heidi Hyde was in fact filmed in my hometown of Harwich.

One of the enduring memories of my childhood was playing the flute or possibly pretending

to play the flute because I could never keep up. In the Harwich school band, as the musical

accompaniment to one of the twins from Heidi Hyde singing Nessendoma really, really earnestly

at the local school fates. In fairness to him, earnestly is probably like the only way

to sing Nessendoma, but anyway, I digress. Me and Sue had a lovely chat backstage before

the gig about how she taught a parrot in the local hotel to say, piss off your bastard!

And from that chat, I knew to expect a corka of a show, but nothing could prepare me for

the moment Jeanine Garofalo asked Hannah, what is a Philip Skullfield? Or the big reveal

of Sue's tiny suitcase? Mick and I stood doubled over in laughter at the bar of the standing

Edinburgh, as Hannah stared wildly at us from the stage, it was wonderful. So here it is

for you again, happy bloody Christmas, don't say we don't treat you.
