A stand-up comedian sits down for some laughs with Nick and Angela.



Paul Chowdhry is the first British-Asian comic to sell out Wembley Arena. His show Live Innit was recently named Amazon Prime’s second most-watched comedy special. Paul also starred alongside Patrick Dempsey in hit show Devils on Sky Atlantic and is heading back on the road with his latest offering Family Friendly Comedian - tickets are available now.



Angela lovingly prepared some fresh pasta for Paul and Nick and our trio discusses the merits (or not) of service station snacks, how to get an eight pack and why Paul found himself taking financial advice from Kerry Katona.

National treasure and proud Bristolian Stephen Merchant struck gold when he collaborated with Ricky Gervais on a little comedy series called The Office in the early 2000s. Buoyed by their TV success, Stephen and Ricky branched out into a brand new medium and became one of the pioneers of podcasting. The Ricky Gervais Show became the most downloaded podcast in the world at the time, securing them a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records.



Stephen has won three BAFTAs, two Golden Globes and a Primetime Emmy for The Office and The US Office. He is here to talk about series three of his excellent BBC and Amazon Prime comedy The Outlaws, which is out now.



Stephen Merchant loves fine-dining and smoked food and so is very keen to sample Angela’s smoked mackerel with spinach baked eggs. The experts at Waitrose pair the meal with a delicious Le Bijou Rosé de Sophie Valrose Coteaux de Béziers, Languedoc



This episode of Dish is one of our funniest yet; Stephen has Nick, Angela and the crew laughing all the way through brunch. Listen out for hilarious anecdotes on family holidays, oysters and why his Order of the British Empire is overdue.

Nick Mohammed is a comedian, writer and actor. In the UK, he is best known for his character Mr Swallow, who he developed more than 20 years ago.

The experts at Waitrose pair the meal with an O’Leary Walker organic riesling from Australia.

Comedian and broadcaster Joel Dommett grew up on a farm in Gloucestershire but, with no interest in getting his hands dirty, he set off for the bright lights of London. He is blessed with funny bones and, after some challenging years on MTV News, he set his sights on stand-up comedy. A stint in the Jungle in 2016 secured his big break and he returned the following year as the host of I'm a Celebrity... Extra Camp. These days Joel Dommett is prime time, presenting The Masked Singer and the National Television Awards. He is married to Hannah and, as well as hosting a podcast together, they are parents to baby Wilde. Joel is here to talk about the new series of his ITV game show In with a Shout.



Joel arrives early for dinner, so Nick gets busy mixing one of his favourite cocktails, a peach paloma and the pair tuck into some pea guacamole and chips, a recipe from Honey & Co. Joel loves Mexican food, so Angela prepares some tasty smoky fish tacos. The experts at Waitrose pair the meal with a No.1 Astrolabe Awatere Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand.



Joel is very excited to be seated at the Dish table and kicks off conversation with some hilarious tales of his experience in the labour ward. He talks about the time he had to film some awkward scenes with Sienna Miller and shares the questionable topping he used to put on his pizza.

Dua Lipa is one of the biggest pop stars on the planet. She has won three Grammys and picked up her seventh Brit award in March for Best Pop Act. Last year, she collaborated with Mark Ronson on Dance the Night, which featured on the Barbie soundtrack, and appeared in the film as Mermaid Barbie.

This year is proving to be Dua’s most successful yet with the release of her highly anticipated third studio album, Radical Optimism. As well as fulfilling a lifelong dream of headlining Glastonbury, Dua will spend the summer playing the festival circuit, wrapping up her live dates in the Royal Albert Hall in October. When she's not singing, Dua hosts her podcast, At Your Service, and shares literary recommendations in her Service95 Book Club.



As a massive foodie, Dua Lipa is easy to please. Angela begins with roasted radishes with whipped tahini, followed by steak tagliata with asparagus and lentils. The experts at Waitrose pair the meal with a Fairview barrel aged pinotage.



Conversation around the table is brimming with talk of travel, food and Dua’s brand new album. She is in training and runs Nick and Ange through her plans for the biggest live show of her life on the Pyramid stage. And for all of you stargazers out there, listen out for Dua’s thoughts on astrology.

The actor and writer join Nick and Angela to talk about the new series of The Responder.



Martin Freeman is a man of many genres and he has mastered most of them in his 27 year career. We first fell in love with him as Tim in The Office in 2001; he gained cult status as Dr Watson in Sherlock in 2010; and then hit the big time as Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit in 2012. Martin won a Bafta and an Emmy for Sherlock and last year scooped an International Emmy for his portrayal of Chris Carson in The Responder.



Tony Schumacher spent 12 years as a policeman in Liverpool before a period of poor mental health forced him to take stock. While on the road to healing, Tony tried his hand at stand-up comedy and, encouraged by his wife, decided to pursue his dream of becoming an author. Tony has written three novels and penned his critically-acclaimed BBC drama with Martin Freeman in mind.



Nick welcomes our guests with a negroni while Angela prepares the best bolognese by Martha Collison, a dish specially requested by Martin. The meal is paired with a Villa Antinori Rosso by the experts at Waitrose. Talk around the table kicks off with praise for Martin Freeman’s Liverpudlian accent, we find out what makes Tony cry and Martin recalls the day he decided vegetarianism was no longer for him.
