🎙️ What’s This Episode About?

Eddie Fortune is a Scouse comedian, writer, and actor with a gift for making people laugh... often about the things we’re not supposed to.

Eddie joins John for a conversation that’s full of sharp wit (kind of), big heart (er...), and a healthy amount of camp chaos (absolutely). They talk about being gay in Liverpool, finding humour in dark places (usually Basement Sauna in Manchester), and how comedy can be both a coping mechanism and a form of entertainment.

From stage shows to panto scripts, Eddie shares his experience navigating the entertainment industry as a working-class queer voice - and why being funny isn’t the same as being taken seriously.

🧼 Content Warning (sort of): This episode contains stories that may cause side-eye, snorts, and possibly mild nausea. Listener discretion advised — especially if you’re eating.

It’s smart, cheeky, and painfully honest. Just like Eddie..
