Joe’s recent appearances on TV include Dave’s Hypothetical and the BBC’s Eastenders. As he embarks on his first international tour, Joe is ready to share his story with his new show, MissWorld, in which he’ll bravely talk about something that, until recently, he's suffered with in silence: that is, being a total hunk. Miss World is groundbreaking stuff, from one of the most in-demand comedians in the UK, who is, as the Daily Mirror described him, 'Oozing star power from every pore’. As part of that tour, he’s returning to the Edinburgh festival for most of August, performing at Underbelly in Bristol Sq. Get you tickets now! . Joe Sutherland is our guest in episode 496 of My Time Capsule and chats to Michael Fenton Stevens about the five things he'd like to put in a time capsule; four he’d like to preserve and one he’d like to bury and never have to think about again .
