Milo Edwards: Moscow Misadventures - From Cold Calls to Call Backs - On Russian TV!🎙️Episode Overview

Hold on tight as Steve Otis Gunn sits down with comedian, writer, and podcaster Milo Edwards for a globe-trotting chat packed with wit, wild stories, and laugh-out-loud anecdotes. From his early days in Moscow working for a financial services company to performing stand-up on Russian TV, Milo pulls back the (iron) curtain on life within Moscow’s chaotic bureaucracy, the absurdity of badly-dubbed movies, and the unpredictable realities of working abroad. Along the way, he shares stories of scams, cut-price Michelin-star restaurants, and why Alan Partridge remains peak British satire.

Episode Highlights:

• How navigating Russia’s red tape could test the patience of a saint
• Performing stand-up on Russian television—in Russian!
• Unpredictable adventures with Moscow’s quirky locals

This episode is perfect for fans of stand-up comedy, international adventures, and anyone who loves watching rules and regulations get hilariously derailed.
