Comedy of the Week Tom & Lauren Are Going OOT
Nov 17, 2025
Julian Clary, a well-known comedian, makes a charming guest appearance as Neil, adding flair to Tom and Lauren’s holiday planning chaos. They hilariously navigate the pitfalls of budget airlines, from hidden baggage fees to the nightmare of middle seats. Lauren grapples with wardrobe choices and the pressure of packing light, while Tom faces his fears of questionable seatmates. The comedic exchanges peak when Neil steps in to hilariously address the cardboard crisis and offers to care for their plants, much to Lauren's chagrin.
