Show Notes
On this episode of Stay Hydrated, Chris and Lizzie invent an entire imaginary long-lost sister (working at NASA, obviously) before spiralling into a passionate (and mostly fabricated) history of the early-2000s pop-rock girl revolution. They pay tribute to Hilary Duff as the true founder of pop-rock (Avril Lavigne and Lindsay Lohan were simply following her lead, probably, allegedly, at Niagara Falls), relive the magic of seeing her live at The O2, and get deep into 2000s club nostalgia, disposable camera energy, and the lost art of not filming an entire concert on your phone. Chris and Lizzie also give their hot takes on the inevitable Glee reboot, and a proper rant about Ryan Murphy’s habit of adding unconfirmed queerness to true crime retellings.... from Lizzie Borden to the Menendez brothers.

More from Stay Hydrated with Chris and Lizzie
On this episode of Stay Hydrated, we are honoured to be joined by the Diet Coke-in-her-pocket-carrying stand-up comedian Kate Dolan! Kate is an award-winning comedian from the Midlands whose star is rapidly rising both in the UK and internationally. Kate’s recent show Trout won the Director’s Choice Award at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival in 2026 and the British Comedy Guide’s Comedian’s Choice Award for Best Show in Edinburgh. Chris, Lizzie and Kate talk about the crucial difference between a bog and a swamp, an impromptu debate on Smurfette’s moral character, the ongoing Hayley Williams and Paramore ego drama and the unexpectedly deep well of childhood trauma unlocked by topless TikTok therapists. They also get into Kate’s whirlwind move from the Midlands to Sydney (via a spontaneous year of nannying, a global pandemic, and meeting her now-husband seven weeks in), the thriving Australian comedy scene, and her plans for her acclaimed show Trout.

Fresh from their family holiday in Devon, Chris & Lizzie are back in the studio and are, in true Stay Hydrated fashion... spiralling. Chris and Lizzie are trading surf lesson war stories (shout-out to local legend Surf Instructor Frank), reveal their pirate ship discovery and Lizzie also has a heroic lifeguard rescue story from America! They also get into the eternal chaos of having tradespeople around (supplies, tea breaks and all), being accidentally misgendered by the plasterers and the mission of a long-overdue Marie Kondo-style decluttering. Plus they have an extremely thorough rundown of their current reality TV workload - from the Real Housewives and Traitors franchises to the returning Voice UK panel and American Idol’s relocation to Georgia.

One live show wasn't enough?! We've brought you another! Stay Hydrated took over Edinburgh Fringe for two nights only... and this is your recap of Night Two. Live on stage at Gilded Balloon, Chris and Lizzie talk about surviving airport food prices and the great sit-in versus takeaway fee debate, a passionate (if slightly one-sided) campaign for early check-in and late checkout, and Chris's wild day doing a crowd-work show alongside Frank Skinner and Katie Norris, complete with some genuinely unhinged audience confessions. They also get into teenage nostalgia (park drinking, tent-camping afterparties, and the heartbreak of not being invited to prom), a trip down memory lane to meeting Simon Cowell on a press day, and a live game exploring the delightfully reckless world of cruise ship romance, PTCs (plane to catch), and long-distance relationships that were never going to work. Plus thank you to audience member Ben for spilling your crazy dating story!

We're joined by stand-up comedian, author and co-host of the podcast Guys We F****d... Krystyna Hutchinson is on Stay Hydrated! Chris, Lizzie and Krystyna talk about Edinburgh Fringe's most committed performer, the joys of full-body immersive theatre and the wonderfully chaotic mythology surrounding Edinburgh's sauna rave. They also get into her powerful solo show Congrats On Not Killing Yourself, unpacking childhood trauma and the strange catharsis of yelling at a parent who's passed away. We also explore Krystyna's past life as a cruise ship dancer and the delightfully unhinged debauchery of a Key West pirate festival.
