Exactly 500 episodes later one of the UK’s most acclaimed comics, Sara Pascoe, returns to the show. Fresh off her latest tour, I Am A Strange Gloop, we discuss:

• how comedians become addicted to rejection
• the imbalance of what the circuit means for different comedians
• why there should be a workshop for comics to survive panel shows
• the impossible balance between truth and funny in stand-up
• whether using writers in comedy is “cheating”
• and we find out if Sara Pascoe is happy…

• why corporates can feel impossible from the start
• the different standards held between public and private shows
• and we unpack the survival tactics used by pro comics on the circuit
