In this edition, John talks about how he liked to make sure everyone felt just as miserable as he did when he was depressed, until a chance argument over an audition led him to finding the "light in his life" in the form of his long-term girlfriend.

The stories were recorded in March 2017 at an event held by BBC Ouch at the Backyard Comedy Club in London.
