On this months Podcast we talk to the brilliantly funny:

SARAH MILLICAN
“Probably the finest female comedian working at the moment”
Time Out
A comedian who is fast becoming a Nation Treasure and who’se face you can’t have missed if you have watched any comedy related panel show in the last two years. Her sold out shows, her DVD’s all started with gigs like XS and she returns to work on new material for her upcoming TV show.

JOE LYCETT
“…complete package of innate comic charm and warm wit” – CHORTLE
You may have seen him on 8 OUT OF 10 CATS, or co-hosting the BBC1 show EPIC WIN, but this young comic is fast becoming a household name since winning the Chortle Student Comic of the Year in 2009. He dropped by XS and reminisced about his early days in comedy and what XS meant to him.

Also featured:
DAVE LONGLEY - “Acid tongued and as sharp as a barrell full of tacks.”
The List

NEIL COLE - ”Elegant, surprising & funny wordplay. He has plenty of witty gags you’ll want to try to remember for the pub” CHORTLE
