Join your host Brett Goldstein as he talks life, death, love and the universe with the truly unique comic PAUL FOOT!

A firm fixture on the standup circuit for a huge amount of years now, spilling out into the greater entertainment universe a bunch times too, Paul is a genuine character and someone with a very individual sound and vibe. Naturally this comes across in this funny ep which bottles all the essence of what Paul excels in (including a couple of extended bits which the Paul heads will appreciate!) - but other ground covered includes his hour long theme shows, advice for Brett from years ago, "a bit of a drag", watching 'making of's as an antidote, bleak films as sexytime erasers, Nicolas Cage's luggage, Poirot and Chinese takeaway price increases. Variety! Enjoy!
