Summary

The Moon Under Water is looking resplendent after having a full renovation, and many of us have been left asking ourselves "Has brass ever looked this good?". Hopefully our next guest is equally impressed, as they're about to arrive in the Correct Realm. It's comedian and author Sukh Ojla.


Sukh has appeared in Black Mirror, EastEnders, Mock The Week and The Big Asian Stand-Up, and last year she released her debut novel Sunny. She's about to make her way through the mists, and we can't wait to hear what will populate her dream pub.

There's some sort of big four poster beds that have been turned into booths, but sort of relaxo booths, where I guess if you were sort of young and hip and swish, you could sort of relax on one elbow, like on a shay long. Or if you're sort of more respectable, you could just treat it as a more comfy version of a seat.

But they've got those beautiful sort of turned, what would you call it?
