Comedian Luke Nixon joins Grace Neutral and Jen Nolan for a warm, funny and very Pokes & Jokes conversation.

They get into aggressive goldfish, mint-stick feeding, Luke’s tragic teenage rap phase, growing up with a comedy icon for a mum, late-night Crystal Palace memories, who actually has any fight-or-flight in them, Southwest accents, and some impressively awful chat-up lines.
