Eyre-Leigh Doors episodes

  • Robin Morgan: "Pilot" episode

    Welcome to the Eyre-Leigh Doors community! Here’s what’s in your show today: 

    An absolute Festival of Filth from Robin Morgan, a fantastic Welsh comedian whose brilliant joke-writing and engaging persona have got him writing credits all over the shop and a spot on Live at the Apollo and Mock the Week. Basically, he’s got everything. 


    But does he have an amazing job with Basil Brush? Or a disgusting friend? Yes, all of these actually. Oh just listen to it. There aren’t that many podcasts out there that cover wide territory like superpowers, magical clairvoyance romantic proposals to Knights of the Realm. 


    We’ve got Sir Ian McKellen and Sir David Attenborough and loads more  

    Who’s our guest and how can you reach them on the socials? 

    Robin Morgan’s website; His Twitter (not to be mistaken for the other Robin Morgan), Instagram

  • Jackie Weaver Blames the Dogs

    Some hissing on the track - we welcome speculation as to what it can be. A distant hairdryer perhaps?  Or a pet snake? 


    Jackie Weaver is one of the funniest guests on the podcast, with a gorgeous dry sense of humour and an incredibly expressive face, which had us in stitches a lot of the time. We hope this comes across! 


    We put her in a situation where two worlds collide with Anton Du Beke, and see what would happen if her father in law was a certain patronising backbencher - and how absolutely dim Louise is when it comes to hints as to his identity. 


    Jackie Weaver’s lovely husband Stuart and his terrible dog/stairs related accident. 


    Will Jackie be carried away by Richard Gere, or is he just here for her brand new telly? 


    We give her the chance to live out her fantasy as Captain of the SS Enterprise, but absolutely ruin it with Andrew Lloyd Webber. Check out Jackie Weaver Merch on Etsy, if you want to support small artists who are exploiting her image! 


    Is she going to take this cool job on the latest comedy panel show? Oh no she isn’t. 


    She’s an absolute bastion of mischievous midlife and WASPI-ish humour. What a delight to share an hour of chit-chat and banter! 


    Reach Jackie Weaver through her podcast, follow her on Twitter @Jackieweaverpod for manicure pics, info about live performances, West Highland Terrier and local politics content.

  • Laura Lexx and the Evil Gary Barlow


    Welcome to the Eyre-Leigh Doors community! Here’s what’s in your show today: 

    Final episode in the series! It was recorded at the Brighton Fringe at Sweet Venues, definitely not in a toilet. Apologies that it does sound a little toilety. 


    A very funny, sweet, thoughtful episode nonetheless and well worth tuning your ears into. 


    Of course, Jurgen Klopp features (read Laura’s book, please do!) and, quite frankly, Laura disgraces herself in a way that only she could (well, and Louise. It’s based on a story from Louise’s life) 


    Laura turns down the chance to live in a haunted house with the ghost of a GP’s receptionist. Not surprising, really. More surprising, though, she shuns a lengthy produce-based #ramblechat with much-loved podcaster Adam Buxton AND the chance to be in a double act with Jennifer Aniston. But why? And how? 


    And what’s going on with Gary Barlow and the football? 


    She explains her spat with Piers Morgan and why she doesn’t respect him. It’s not just because he has a ‘slap me’ face, which surprised Louise no end. 


    No surprises whom she chooses to spend time with in another dimension, but some disappointment when she learns she could be hanging out with Danny DeVito if she’d held on a bit longer. 


    Still, we have the joy of the newest detective agency, Stumpy and Stumpy, a crime-fighting duo with the biggest of brains (and the shortest of legs) 


    But that’s the nature of the game… Have a lovely time (enjoy!)

  • Sikisa: Bambi is a Sex Worker!

    Welcome to the Eyre-Leigh Doors community! Here’s what’s in your show today: 

    Pauline says VULVA during Door Number 1 and we get deep into bikini waxing from the off.

    What would it be like to be Oprah Winfrey’s Adult Baby? No, but really?

    A wrestler lands on Sikisa’s lap - but will it be John Cena? Giant Haystacks? Or someone who thinks Bambi is a Sex Whore.

  • Kathryn Mather: Pop a Marcus Rashford on top of your wardrobe

    Oh wow - what a blinder of an episode!


    Kathryn Mather is a young comedian on the up. We presented her with a Coronation Street legend, the chance of a streetlight worth making a documentary about and a cabinet minister with a lot on her plate - most of it stinky sweat gravy.


    There's extremely strong language on the subject of Gordon Ramsay and an astonishing public proposal from a madman.


    Kathryn is fast on her way to being the 'pride of our alley', but how does she feel about Rochdale's other favourite daughter?


    Share this cracking episode with the people at YOUR bottom-strengthening class - and maybe the ones at your top-strengthening class too! Let's get the word out there!


    Here's your brief synopsis: (warning: spoilers!)


    On holiday with Anne Kirkbride 

    Street fighting with Louis Theroux 

    Living with the taxidermied body of Marcus Rashford

    Squeezing your stinky sweat gravy on to the plate of Priti Patel

    Reference to Priti’s eyebrows -

    The word Louise is looking for is “hustler”

    Extremely strong language on the subject of Gordon Ramsay 

    An astonishing public proposal from a madman Can we have a picture of Pauline’s hair at her wedding, PLEASE? 

    Forgetting herself at a Taylor Swift concert.

  • Joz Norris - Nicks, nicking and dicking about

    Joz Norris has it all - the most extraordinary, surreal comedy brain, a beloved mentor who celebrated him wholeheartedly (even when he was shit) and now, the chance to play Eyre Leigh Doors!


    If you're playing ELD Bingo, you can take a drink when the sadistic teacher appears (what is WITH that??) and the cabinet minister - find out what happened when Joz met Michael Gove.


    This episode also includes accidentally parachuting into a burning car (as you do),  comedy on ice with your best mate and being saved from major head injury by a comedy moose costume. 


    It's also got:

    BRILLIANT behind the scenes info about Celebrity Squares - a bit of gossip that will genuinely delight you!

    Career advice for Van Morrison 

    and terrible thievery that made Pauline both disgusted and excited. It’s Bowie-related (surprise!)

  • Heidi Regan Farts in a Bar

    Brilliant Australian comedian Heidi Regan turns down the opportunity to be on a dull date with current Health Secretary Matt Hancock. Timely, given that we release 24 hours after the story of his raging affair with his aide.

    She also turns down the chance to have an encounter with a great white shark but be rescued by a “sexy Greta Thunburg” and the chance to be trapped in her own farts with a children’s book character. 

    If you’re playing “recurring celebrities bingo”, you can put a cross through Sandi Toksvig. 

    A lengthy discussion of the different kinds of playground skipping and far too much asking young girls to be on dates.

    And will Heidi take the opportunity to be BFFs with a young Hugh Grant? Of course! 

    Instant regrets as she misses out on doing an escape room with Thor star, the Chris that is Hemsworth. 

    Heidi tells us about her love of B Movies and the teacher who ruined her life, but didn’t remember traumatising her. 


    Heidi Regan, @heidi_regan on Twitter, check out her Radio 4 Comedy Series out Wednesday 30th June here


    Also given an honourable mention, the dubbed series of Heidi, which has proved pretty hard to find, but the theme tune is here, Gen X nostalgia-fans

  • Cally Beaton's Improper Use of a Faberge Yam

    Gorgeous episode featuring Cally Beaton from QI, The Apprentice You're Fired, off of Radio 4 and an absolute cracking stand up comedian. But, you know, she *may* have ruined Louise's life in the 90s so we have to start with that.


    Because of Cally's years of work as a top telly executive and as a sought-after comedian and speaker, the celebrity name-dropping is plentiful. We have Elton John at Cally's beck and call, Sandi Toksvig on a dashboard and Joan Rivers like you've never imagined her before. She would approve. Possibly.


    Yes a yam is used in a way that only the sickest of minds could imagine, yes there is chat about raising kids in the 21st Century, why imposter syndrome reigns in even the most successful-looking people and a tale of ice cream corruption.


    We chat midlife superpowers, the joy of shoplifting and other ways to get your adrenaline fix. Oh, and you should the terrible thing that happens to Oprah Winfrey!


    In the show, Cally and Pauline share their love of comedian Richard Todd, whose show you can watch on Next Up Comedy if you're a member there, or better still seek him out live near your home. They also mention the hilarious Nathan Cassidy. Check him out if you get a chance.


    In other news, if you are around this weekend (19th/20th June) in Brighton, you can get 2-4-1 tickets to our live editions by turning up at the Sweet Venues box office and saying the magic words: "Choose it or Lose it" . So tell your friends. The venue will be beautifully socially distant and Covid Secure.


    Thanks so much for listening to the podcast, whether this is your first time, or if you do it week after week. Please make sure to leave us a lovely review and if you want to get in touch to be our “listener of the week”, you can do that on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram or by emailing us at [email protected]

  • Philip Simon's Tripping with Brenda Blethyn

    Music by Ben Woolford


    Tickets to our Brighton Fringe shows will sell out - if you buy them all! Make it happen for us here. Shows are on 19th June with Susan Murray and 20th June with Laura Lexx. Buy tickets here!


    Award winning comedian Philip Simon, host of podcast Jew Talkin' To Me? and ex Daddy Pig regales us with stories of kicking Brenda Blethyn, inspirational teachers and what happens when you meet yourself in a cafe. Or is it you? Or is it a remake of Being John Malkovich starring David Mitchell?


    He's got stories of when The People from Hellmans Dijonaise couldn't understand about hair gel and why - in spite of his massive crush - he might not let Rachel Riley raise his children.


    We also discuss whether Deborah Meaden would lend you her slacks in a squeeze, partying at the Palace (not the nightclub in Bridgewater) and Mollie Ringwald in pranksterish mode. So if you love Dragon's Den, the Pretty in Pink, Royal Weddings, inappropriate drawings on children's theatre costumes, this is the listen for you.


    Of course there's the worst first gig story we've ever heard, with a triumphant response from Philip, we introduce Philip to the concept of Wayne Lineker.
