Show Notes
This week, Ian is joined by special guest host Stuart Laws!
Headlines this week include a man who eats 3kg of fizzy cola bottles and (unsurprisingly) ends up in hospital, and a dramatic helicopter incident in otherwise sleepy Chalfont St Peter.
Stuart is heading up to the Edinburgh Fringe this summer with a series of shows titled Late Night with Stuart Laws, where he'll be performing a completely different show every night. For tickets and dates head to edfringe.com.
And Ian is bringing his Edinburgh Comedy Award nominated show Foot Spa Half Empty to London's Soho Theatre from 28 April - 1 May. For tickets head to sohotheatre.com.
And we'll be heading up t'North to record a live edition of the pod at Crossed Wires Podcast Festival on Saturday 4 July 2026! For tickets head to crossedwires.live.
