The Lost Treasures Of The Black Heart is a sort of comedy club in Camden town each month, where comedians, writers and musicians write special sets venerating an unsung hero or celebrating an obscure thing.

It's very rough and silly.

It's compered by Josie Long, who tries out new ideas and improvises things.

We hope you like it, we wanted to make it as close to the bizarre, ramshackle nature of the night as possible.

There's some very fun technical fun at the start that doesn't really work because you can't see the visuals. And it's a bit of a slow start I guess, but let's do this! Also, there's a bit I cut out about sex, sorry internet! Perfect!

This month's podcast features sets by our excellent resident act Nathaniel Metcalfe (@natmetcalfe) Phil O'Shea (@PhilOSheacomedy), Chris Coltrane (@Chris_Coltrane), Robin Ince (@RobinInce), John-Luke Roberts (@JLRoberts) Thom Tuck (@turlygod) and Chloe Philip

Welcome to our ongoing attempt to catch up on the recordings we've made over the last couple of years - we will get up to date soon....somehow!

Return with us now to September 11th 2012 (too soon) and hear Josie getting amazed that Lewisham now has a branch of Tiger (not an actual tiger, the shop Tiger) listen closely to hear if anyone wins a Walnut Whip or a bucket of mustard. Infact, throughout the show, there's at least five minutes of unneccessary mustard chat. Enjoy!

This month's podcast features sets by Andrew O'Neill (@destructo9000), Martin Croser (@M_Croser), Sam Schafer (@shafersam), Phil O'Shea (@PhilOSheacomedy), Deborah Frances-White (@DeborahFW), Alex Edelman (@alex_edelman), Mawaan Rizwan (@MawaanR) and our excellent resident act Nathaniel Metcalfe (@natmetcalfe) who, this month, takes a trip even further back into time to discuss mid 90s sitcom Men Behaving Badly.

Hop in our podcast time machine and take a trip back with us to July 2012, when the weather was warm, the bar downstairs was noisy, and the acts were ace.

Josie feels like she might have been a bit stressed this month, as she was working towards her Edinburgh festival show, but it was probably just that it was really hot that night.

While we're at it - apologies for the seemingly interminable delay on these podcasts, we are attempting to clear out the backlog and get more out with renewed vigour, so listen out for more time capsules from Camden's oddest club in the near future...

Joining Josie are club resident Nathaniel Metcalfe (@natmetcalfe) who - rather presciently - is talking about Pride And Prejudice (And Zombies), Joe Lycett's pal Jack Daniels (http://joelycettcomedy.tumblr.com/post/48701551150/old-tales-live) Keiran Hodgson (@KieranCHodgson), Hatty Ashdown (@HattyAshdown), Alex Holland (@ImAlexHolland), Bec Hill (@bechillcomedian) and Thom Tuck (@turlygod). Our regular sound guy James was busy this month, so big thanks to @mushybees for recording the show on the night.

Take a trip back in time to June 2012, we've just had the Royal Jubilee and so this month we're asking, 'What would you have rather seen the Queen do?'. You can also hear me developing some material over the course of this (and previous) podcasts about - amongst other things - Ed Milliband, which would eventually make it into my 2012 Edinburgh show, and onto Stewart Lee's Alternative Comedy Experience.

Also I do not actually think the queen is an old bitch. Not at all. Also also, I wilfully mispronounce Nicki Minaj about twenty times. Enjoy!

This month's acts are Nathaniel Metcalfe (@natmetcalfe), Sam Schafer (@schafersam), Ed Aczel (http://edwardaczel.tumblr.com/), Eleanor Morton (http://eleanormortoncomedian.com/) Claudia O'Doherty (@ClaudiaODoherty), Ronan Lynskey, Ben Target (http://www.bentarget.com/), Lauren Kerr, Kev Smith (@littlekevsmith), Broderick Chow (@broderickchow), Phil O'Shea (@PhilOSheacomedy), Nicholas Cooke, We Are Goose (http://wearegoose.co.uk/). It's a PACKED bill.

It's May 2012, and, in Josie's opinion, one of the best LTOTBH sets we've had. Tonight's gig features contributions from club regular Nathaniel Metcalfe (@natmetcalfe), Alex Edelman (@alex_edelman), Joe Wells (http://joewells.org.uk/), Kieran Hodgson (@KieranCHodgson), Sarah Cassidy (@thesarahcassidy) and Martin Croser (@M_Croser)

It's April 2012, it takes a little while to warm up, but let's stick with it. It has an early attempt at a few bits of material that Josie later wrked out in her 2012 show, which makes it a bit of a curate's egg if you'd seen the show then. I promise by the second half it gets going!

There's loads of great people. This month features Alex Edelman (@alex_edelman), Ben Target(@BenTarget) (in what is - let's face it - a very visual act, we hope you have fun trying to decode the audio version), Thom Tuck (@turlygod), Sam Schafer (@shafersam), Benjamin Partridge (@benpartridge) and John-Luke Roberts (@jlukeroberts) with, of course, club regular Nathaniel Metcalfe (@natmetcalfe).

It's March 2012, and Josie spends a lot of time chatting about cake and about her phone, this one has a very slow start indeed, but let's roll with it! Sorry if I sound stressed out!

There's loads of great people, though - this month we have appearances from Sara Pascoe (@sarapascoe), Alex Edelman (@alex_edelman), Siobhan Dodds (@unclesiobhan), Chris Coltrane (@chris_coltrane), Thom Tuck (@turlygod) and club regular Nathaniel Metcalfe (@natmetcalfe).

Welcome to the first podcast of 2012! It's a labour of love.

Melonie makes an appearance this month, as do some guests from Canvey Island. There's some rather loose valentine themes and a bunch of joy from this months guests...

club regular Nathaniel Metcalfe (@natmetcalfe), Sam Schafer (@schafersam), Chris Coltrane (@chris_coltrane) and John Luke Roberts (@jlukeroberts) does a special dance.

Welcome to Christmas 2011.

You can hear James, the sound man, podcaster and web boss of the club at the start of this recording!

I wasn't in great spirits the night of the gig but I hope it's ok..

It's a pretty slow starting one and there's a hat frenzy game near the beginning in which I encourage people to steal each other's hats (they're the hats from the christmas crackers that we had...)

The guests this month were James 'Pancakes' Acaster (http://www.jamesacaster.com / @jamesacaster) , Cairn McDonald, Nikesh Shukla (http://www.nikesh-shukla.com / @nikeshshukla), Martin Croser (@M_Croser), Leo Healy, Nadia Kamil (http://www.nadiakamil.co.uk), Phil O'Shea (@PhilOSheacomedy) and club regular Nathaniel Metcalfe (@natmetcalfe) who treats us to a festive reading.

Hello, I had a lot of props here tonight..

I'm sorry because I can't really remember what they were, I think that there was a ghost that lit up in a kind of green neon light.

People went WOO at it.

I hope this is ok! It's nearly 18 months old!

This is very long, and there's a seance in it which isn't very good, so we cut some of it.

The guests this month are Chris Coltrane (@chris_coltrane / http://www.chriscoltrane.com), Sam Schafer (@schafersam), Nathaniel Metcalfe (@natmetcalfe), James Ward (@iamjamesward), Matthew Crosby (@matthewcrosby) and Matthew Crosby (http://matthewcrosby.tumblr.com/)
