105. Are Women Funny?

Harriet Langley-Swindon and Producer Martin are joined by the Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, who is frankly depressed at how hard the job is turning out to be. They also speak to entertainment reporter Henny Ffairground about the latest TV format for Men Who Made Mistakes But Are Very Sorry So Let's Move On, and Eshaan Akbar rates a comedy club's apology for not booking enough women.

We have a live show at the Cheerful Earful festival on the 16th October - tickets are available at cheerfulearful.co.uk
