We sat down backstage at the 2014 Balham and Edinburgh Comedy Festivals with some of the UK's most talented comedians and chatted about their loves, hates and why human rights matter to them. Subscribe now and make sure you don't miss out.
When not performing at Midwest Renaissance Festivals and Faires, the Pirate Comedy Show will be wasting bandwidth with silly podcasts featuring their music and attempted comedy. (We are currently busy with non-podcast projects, but episodes will resume as soon as we have some time! Come see us in person, instead ;-)
