Why Do I Do It?

This week Ben and co-host Christian are joined by TV star Nick Helm. 

We discuss some hilariously shambolic bad gig stories including behind the scenes content from performing at Live At The Apollo, Joel Dommett and handling his acts persona. 

Please if you enjoy this episode take the time to leave a review or share the episode with your friends. 

This week Ben and Christian are joined by formerly one of the youngest stand up comedians in the world, Tom Lucy! 

As well as an extensive career of his own Tom has supported the likes of Michael McIntyre, Rob Beckett, John Bishop, Kevin Bridges and Jack Whitehall, providing some fantastic stories of horrible gigs.

In this funny episode we discuss a fire on stage during a gig, finding out a horse gets paid more than he is and how his parents dealt with him getting lifts from strange men to gigs at the age of just 16.
