About Joe Wilkinson: Bouncy castles, toy shops and a lifeguard that can't swim
Come and see us at The Clapham Grand on 16th January for our next live show! Ticket's only £15 here: https://link.dice.fm/C09cda047686We're live at The Clapham Grand this week, and we've got something exciting up our sleeve. This is the first episode of 'Things People Did', a new format where we're going to speak to comedians about the jobs they used to do before they became famous. The best part is, we're going to be doing this every month live at The Clapham Grand in front of an audience, and you're invited to come and join in! We're kicking things off with a belter... it's Joe Wilkinson! Before he was a comedian, podcaster and actor, it turns out he used to blow up bouncy castles (but never tethered them), he used to work in a calendar factory, a toy shop and as a lifeguard... even though he can't swim. It's bonkers and hilarious in equal measure, as you'd expect.We'll be live at The Clapham Grand every month next year, get your tickets here: https://linktr.ee/jmsticketsTo listen to Joe Wilkinson's Podcast, 'Chatabix', click here: https://podfollow.com/1560965008And to go see him at one of his book signings, click here: https://linktr.ee/jwbookeventsTo sign up to Nord VPN, click here: https://nordvpn.com/marlerTo download the Spond app, click here: https://spond.sng.link/D472x/uijj/bjn8JMS caps and hoodies available here: joemarler.co.uk/shopTo get ad-free and longer episodes on Apple, hit the 'grow the show' button or click: https://apple.co/3sAX0xROn Spotify you can subscribe for £1 a week by clicking this link: https://anchor.fm/joemarlershowTo become an official sponsor, go to Patreon.com/joemarlershow To grow the show on socials, look for @joemarlershow on Instagram, Twitter and Tiktok Music courtesy of BMG Production Music Learn more about your ad choices.
