Stand-up from London's Pleasance Theatre with Alistair Barrie, featuring Bob Mills, Mary Bourke, John Lloyd, John Robins and Nish Kumar.

Further details

Alistair Barrie introduces a selection of stand-up comedians recorded live at The Pleasance Theatre in Islington late last year.

We gain useful vocabulary from John Lloyd of things that we don't have words for but should, and Mary Bourke entertains us with a dark response to the unreasonable.

John Robins surprises us with an unusual Dickensian condition he's developed, and Nish Kumar explains some of the awkward social situations he's fallen into.

Bob Mills explains life as an overweight man and Alistair Barrie celebrates Britain's love of complaining throughout the episode recorded in front of a live sold out audience in London.
