Today’s guest brings a surprising and somewhat controversial set of wonders that speak to how remarkable human invention truly is. It’s comedian, writer and former Bollywood choreographer Eshaan Akbar!
Eshaan makes the case for religion, roads and erm… stairs, which actually turned out better than Clive initially feared!
Elsewhere, Eshaan urges us to always note down our relatives’ cooking recipes and encourages us to visit the longest sea loch in Scotland.
This episode was recorded live at the Theatre Royal Winchester, June 2024.

Have you ever been brought to tears by how delicious something tastes? Well today’s guest Simon Evans has, and you’ll never guess what from!
The radio and TV performer, comedian and self-proclaimed curmudgeon joins Clive as he whittles his list of 21 wonders down to seven. Thankfully for Alan Coren, J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis and Leonardo da Vinci, they all made the cut.
Plus, Simon opens up about discovering, at age 53, that he was donor conceived, and he also explains why Abbey Road’s Side Two Medley gives him tingles just thinking about it.
This episode was recorded live at Farnham Maltings, June 2024.

Would you ever consider bonobo apes to be a wonder of the world? Well, comedian and writer Cally Beaton certainly does, and on today’s show she tells Clive all about them! And no, she didn't choose them solely because of their slightly fruity behaviour...
Cally also makes a strong case for bicycles, ice cream vans and Jeff, her wire-haired dachshund. However Clive couldn’t help but pick comedic legend, Joan Rivers, as Cally’s wonder of wonders after hearing the inspiring role Joan played in Cally's own journey into comedy.

Today, Matt Goldich joins Clive for what is Matt’s first ever on-stage show in the UK.
The comedian tells Clive all about his career writing for some of America’s biggest talk shows and how his first day working with David Letterman didn’t quite go as he expected. Plus, he falls out with Clive about whether nectarines are better than peaches. Maybe it’s a generational thing…
This episode was recorded live at the Edinburgh Fringe, August 2023.

Today’s episode is one of many firsts. Clive is joined on stage by the comedian and radio presenter Glenn Moore who explains why the first dvd he watched and the first roller coaster he wanted to go on are wonders of the world.
We also discover that Glenn is the first person to have almost auditioned to play Harry Potter to appear on the show. Spoiler alert: He didn’t get the part…

Today's guest has a degree in computer science. However, in their words "technology is the worst thing in the world". It's the comedian Olga Koch.
With technology ruled out, Olga's wonders are instead a love letter to the Edinburgh Fringe. She joins Clive on stage to discuss her seven favourite things from Edinburgh, including... A toilet.

Would you ever undergo an experiment which temporarily prevents your ability to talk? Well, comedian, actor and The Infinite Monkey Cage presenter Robin Ince has, and he tells Clive all about it on today's show.
Robin also makes a very passionate defence of the importance of libraries. However, despite a wide range of intellectual selections, Clive can't resist choosing a kids' TV show as Robin's wonder of wonders. Listen to find out why.

Today’s guest is famous for two things: comedy and managing a fictional football team on a video game on the internet. It’s Bilal Zafar, of course!
Bilal joins Clive on stage to tell him all about that and choose his seven wonders of the world. Unfortunately, he seems to have picked all the worst things in the world as wonders. We’ll let you decide if cats are included in that category…
