The Wand Chooses The Wookie

What happens when a Comic Con romance, a £200,000 scratch card win, and a love of fantasy collide with real-world debt?

At a Comic Con event, 47-year-old Amos, dressed head to toe as Chewbacca, meets a woman dressed as Hermione Granger. What starts as an awkward, charming encounter quickly turns into a whirlwind relationship when they discover they’ve won £200,000 on a scratch card. Deciding to spend the money together, the unlikely couple set off on a globe-trotting adventure inspired by Star Wars and Harry Potter chasing Comic Cons, filming locations, famous movie restaurants, and places where iconic books were written. But fantasy living doesn’t come cheap. As lavish spending, bad decisions, and the illusion of endless money take hold, their finances, and relationship, begin to collapse. When the cash finally runs out, reality hits hard. Can their love survive the landing?

From chance encounters with Warwick Davis to ending up stranded via the cheapest flight imaginable at Ireland’s Knock Airport, this is an All Made Up Podcast episode like you’ve never heard before.

EP90 - The Cue and The Kite - James Crook

In a weathered static caravan in the sleepy seaside town of Rhyl, 24-year-old Tim Jones drifts through life, long removed from the days he was hailed as a snooker prodigy. Since the tragic death of his beloved grandad a decade ago, Tim has shelved his cue—and his dreams—trading them for a soul-sapping job on an assembly line. But when he's fired by his overbearing manager, Simon, Tim hits rock bottom. Back at the caravan, amidst a fog of frustration, Tim stumbles upon a secret panel containing his grandad’s old birdwatching notebook. Inside lies a single unfulfilled wish: spotting the legendary and elusive Welsh Kite. Seeing this as a final chance to connect with the man who meant everything to him, Tim sets off on an unlikely adventure to the rugged peaks of Tryfan. But Tim’s journey becomes more perilous than he ever imagined—especially with the strange and suspicious Chris Eubank (yes, that Chris Eubank) mysteriously tracking his every move. Now, Tim must face harsh terrain, his inner demons, and possibly an ex-professional boxer, all in pursuit of a bird that may not even exist. From snooker halls to mountaintops, cue balls to rare eggs, this is an all-made-up story like you've never heard before.

EP89 - Reel Love - Katerina Robinson

28-year-old Ellie-Lou is Essex-born and bred, with dreams bigger than her beloved dad’s struggling chippy, Fish Lips. She’s always wanted to be a social media celebrity, but instead spends her days battering cod. Just as the chips seem well and truly down, Ellie-Lou gets her big break: a spot on a new dating reality show, Reel Love, where couples bond over fishing challenges for the chance to win £30,000. For Ellie-Lou, this isn’t just about fame—it’s about saving Fish Lips from frying in financial ruin. There’s just one catch: Ellie-Lou already has a boyfriend, Danny. Once a hopeful professional footballer, Danny’s dreams crumbled, leaving him bitter and stuck in a job he loathes. For Danny, Ellie-Lou represents both the love of his life and a reminder of what he’ll never achieve. When Ellie-Lou’s antics on Reel Love start making waves, Danny hits boiling point. Fueled by jealousy and resentment, he sets out on a mission to sink her chances of winning—and take Fish Lips down with her. From reeling in romance to frying family tensions this is an All-Made-Up Story with plenty of bait, drama, and a splash of Essex charm.

AllMadeUp story like you've never heard before.

EP88 - Heart to Fart - Dom Hatton-Woods

When the going gets tough, the tough get going—and 33-year-old Neil James knows tough better than most. Years of abuse from his late father left him feeling like the underdog in his own life, but Neil’s dream of becoming an MMA coach keeps him fighting. That fight takes a devastating turn when his doctor delivers crushing news: Neil needs a heart transplant, or he won’t make it. Neil’s life takes an unexpected twist when James "Heavy Bag" Neil, a washed-up wannabe with fists like sledgehammers and the stamina of a sloth, breaks into his local gym. Bonded by broken dreams, the two strike a deal—Neil will train Heavy Bag to compete in a £50,000, winner-takes-all MMA tournament, while Heavy Bag vows to help Neil get the heart surgery he desperately needs. The question remains: will Heavy Bag have the heart to go the distance, or will Neil’s dream—and his life—slip away? From tapped fists to underdog twists this is an AllMadeUp story like you've never heard before.

EP87 - Howard Anstock - Business Christmas

Back in October we were joined by stand-up comedian Howard Anstock who was eager to create a Hallmark Christmas D-List movie. Christmas Business: Holly Tinselton, a Christmas-hating real estate exec, returns to her aggressively festive hometown, Snowy Peaks, to sell it to a mini-golf developer. Determined to escape the tinsel overload, Holly dodges holiday traditions, her cheerfully nosy relatives, and the town's relentless Christmas obsession. Enter a charming lumberjack who chops wood, bakes cookies, and somehow makes Holly question her Scrooge-like existence. As the sale inches closer, Holly finds herself tangled in lights, laughs, and love. Can she save the town she’s trying to sell—or will Snowy Peaks become the world’s most festive mini-golf course? Christmas has never been this complicated!

EP86 - Ben, Harry & Lewis - Relation-Ship

Happy New Year Everyone! 

Absolutely buzzing to be back together for another episode of the AllMadeUp Podcast. In today's episode, Harry talks all about his time gigging on a cruise ship over the Christmas period, Lewis talks about his new VR headset and Ben spent his Crimbo in Scotland. 

Since we had so much to catch up on, we made todays episode short and sharp, a lovely little 20 minute tale, enjoy! 

Relation-Ship: 

Mel Berry, a travel influencer with a knack for turning chaos into content, finds herself back aboard the cruise ship where her ex, the infamous Captain Freakhaus, reigns supreme. Three years ago, he tried to push her out to sea—literally—in a botched attempt to eliminate her. Instead of dying, she thrived, amassing a massive online following that now has her returning to the ship as the host of a new reality TV series. The show, a twisted competition for a seat at the Captain’s table, quickly devolves into a brutal, Squid Game-esque battle where passengers must outwit, outlast, and outmaneuver one another to survive. Each round is more gruesome than the last—feathered carnage included. As the bodies pile up and tensions reach a boiling point, Mel must decide: will she rekindle her warped romance with Captain Freakhaus, or will she exact her revenge for his murderous betrayal in this AllMadeUp story like you’ve never heard before!

EP84 - Clementine Bogg-Hargroves - Driving Over Christmas (Christmas Special)

For Gertrude, Christmas isn’t a time for joy—it’s a relentless reminder of everything she’s lost. Six years ago, her wife and two children were tragically killed. The killer Father Christmas and his sleigh. Ever since that night, Gertrude has devoted her career as a lawyer to proving Santa’s guilt in the crime. The problem? No one believes her. But this Christmas, a miracle arrives in the form of Alan, a scruffy, suspicious elf who turns up at her door with an extraordinary claim: he has dashcam footage that could finally prove Father Christmas is guilty. Seizing the chance for justice, Gertrude teams up with Alan and embarks on a perilous journey to the North Pole to uncover the truth. What begins as a simple quest for evidence spirals into chaos as Gertrude finds herself in a world of bar brawls, seductive women, and highly questionable uses for mistletoe. From murder to mince pies, this is an All Made Up Story that’s equal parts heartwarming, hilarious, and utterly unhinged.

EP83 - Charlie Lewis - Gear Or No Gear

Barry Trotter, once the glittering star of 1980s children's TV, is now a washed-up 74-year-old performer struggling to stay afloat. With his glory days long behind him, Barry scrapes by entertaining unimpressed audiences at dingy social clubs, while sharing a cramped bedsit with his elderly mother. Barry's troubles go deeper than bad gigs and fading fame—he’s drowning in gambling debt. His tormentor? Roger Kittyfeathers, a smug businessman-turned-loan shark with a grudge. Turns out Roger was humiliated live on Barry's show as a child, and he’s been nursing his vendetta ever since. Now, Roger’s got Barry on the ropes, demanding £5000 in a week or the bedsit goes. Desperate and out of options, Barry enters Celebrity Deal or No Deal. With no money and little dignity, Barry faces off against The Banker. Will Barry claw his way back to redemption—or will he leave the studio more humiliated than ever? Packed with heart, humor, and just a little existential dread, this is an All Made Up Story like you've never heard before!

EP82 - Ryan Kenny - Karaoke and Kickoffs

Dean Gafney, 35, lives for music and runs a karaoke bar in Manchester, but his heart has always held a soft spot for football—thanks in part to his ex-wife, Coleen, a former pro footballer. When a group of ex-Manchester United fringe players—including Eric Djemba-Djemba, Anders Lindegaard, and Rodrigo Possebon—stumble into his bar during a wild night out, Dean finds himself unexpectedly invited to play in a charity football match at Hotel Football. But there’s a twist: Coleen has been recruited to play for the opposing team. Now, years after their marriage fell apart, the two are set to face off on the pitch in a game that’s anything but friendly. With slide tackles, lightning strikes, and old emotions bubbling to the surface, Dean must navigate the chaos on and off the field, proving that in football—and in life—anything is truly Possebon. A story of love, rivalry, and redemption, Kick-Off Karaoke reminds us that sometimes, the biggest wins come from the unlikeliest matchups. This is an All Made Up story like you've never heard before.
