  • Fringe Recap

    Fresh from the Edinburgh Fringe, Colman, Chris and Mauricio unpack the highs, lows and general chaos of taking comedy to the festival. They compare the shows that worked, the rooms that fought back, the uniquely sneaky Scottish hecklers and the strange experience of trying to get noticed by agents.

    They also look at which jokes and ideas are worth carrying forward into their developing hoursโ€”including Reddit-inspired premises, dead people, dating and the uncomfortable discovery that the material you trust the least can sometimes get the biggest reaction.

    A post-Fringe debrief about bombing, killing, being noticed and working out what comes next.

  • Nobody cares about NASA?!

    The builders discuss the Artemis 2 mission and the publicโ€™s strange obsession with mundane space failures, such as malfunctioning toilets and broken email systems. The group critiques the mission's lackluster media coverage, jokingly suggesting that NASA should pivot to a reality TV format featuring "first orgasms in space" or "confessional booths" to regain global interest.

    So now the question is: are these bitsโ€ฆ or career-ending decisions?

  • How to stop Ireland!?

    The builders brainstorm stand-up material and sketches centered on the surreal nature of Donald Trump's public persona, including his portrayal as a religious figure. The conversation shifts to local Irish news, specifically the irony of farmers and hauliers using tractor blockades to protest rising fuel prices by cutting off the country's fuel supply.ย
