World Exclusive: The Comedy Special That Shouldn’t Work (Matt Price)

Top 5 Astonishing Underdogs

What happens when a stand-up comedian amd a Comedy promoter sit down to celebrate history’s greatest shockers? You get a masterclass in nostalgia, chaos, and why getting older is beautifully liberating. This week, Paul is joined by comic Justin Panks to count down the Top 5 Underdog Moments of All Time. Inspired by Cape Verde matching Spain on the pitch, the boys dive into the legendary moments where the unexpected completely stole the show. From the jaw-dropping debut of Susan Boyle to Buster Douglas shattering Mike Tyson’s myth of invincibility, it’s a hilarious look at history’s greatest "wait, they won?!" triumphs. The Lightning Round: The Connect Four Flex: Beating your wife by thinking three moves ahead in a pub (and why she insists it still doesn't make you a chess grandmaster). The Winter Olympic Myth: Why curling is just "geezers who look like coach drivers" and ski jumping is just getting shot out of a cannon down a hill. Showbiz Trauma: Justin recounts the excruciating night he was dragged on stage by Bobby Davro for an unwanted musical duet. Questionable Retro Lyrics: A look back at the absolute madness of 1970s radio and how rock stars ever got away with their wildest tracks. Hit play for an hour of pure, unscripted comedy chemistry. Who Remembers Spangles? is hosted by 'Comedy Buoys' promoter Paul Dunn (Pablo) and Lowestoft-born comedian Scott Adams. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

World Cup Spangles

The World Cup is supposed to be the greatest show on earth. In reality, it has always involved a surprising amount of absolute rubbish. This week, we revisit the footballers’ records nobody asked for, England failing to qualify and forcing the country to pretend to support Scotland, sticker albums abandoned after two packets, and those cheap Woolies footballs that could be launched into orbit by the final breath of a 100-year-old man. There is also the misery of staying up until three in the morning to watch two teams you had never heard of grind out a nil-nil draw, plus Joe Lycett, Gaza and the peculiar way football tournaments now become tangled up with every argument going. A nostalgic, occasionally ill-advised and painfully accurate look back at the World Cup moments nobody puts in the official highlights reel. Who Remembers Spangles? is hosted by 'Comedy Buoys' promoter Paul Dunn (Pablo) and Lowestoft-born comedian Scott Adams. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

The Water Is Turning the Frogs Gay (And Other Things We Probably Shouldn't Have Said).

Scott and Pablo are back, and this week they've made a solemn vow: fewer swears, more sensitive listeners. That lasts about six minutes. Between debating whether "bollocks" counts if it was used in the Sex Pistols' defence at the Old Bailey, and coining the term "ring cheese" (don't ask — actually, do ask, it's brilliant), the lads somehow manage to make a new leaf feel entirely pointless. There's road rage from a deceased TV presenter, Arsenal fans menacing a man in a retro Spurs shirt, a Welsh rugby club regular with a very specific 10 o'clock ritual, and a front-row confession from a Jeremy Kyle alumnus that genuinely defies belief. The top five this week tackles heatwave nostalgia — Jubbly ice lollies, shirtless dads, Heinz Salad Cream, the invention of the beer garden (Tony Blair, obviously), and the great Fairy Liquid bottle water-fight arms race of the 1980s. Also: a pub goat in Devon, ring cheese (we had to mention it twice), and a live investigation into where Duncan Goodhew actually lives. Spoiler: it's not where you'd expect. It never is with this podcast. Absolutely none of this was planned. Who Remembers Spangles? is hosted by 'Comedy Buoys' promoter Paul Dunn (Pablo) and Lowestoft-born comedian Scott Adams. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

The Truth About Britannia Pier!

This week we're recording live from the dressing room of the iconic Britannia Pier in Great Yarmouth, and we've got a very special guest — Shea, the man behind the bookings at one of the UK's most beloved seaside venues. We chat about what it's like to programme a 1,300-seat pier theatre, the acts that refuse to die (think Jim Davidson, Roy Chubby Brown, Joe Pasquale and Mick Miller), and the shows that sold out with almost zero effort. Plus, Shea shares his best crowd disasters, a kebab-fuelled night out with Neil 'Razor' Ruddock, and why a certain Mancunian B&B owner ended up at a Morrissey gig by complete accident. We also get into K-pop, Kevin Bloody Wilson, the eternal question of bigger chairs, and whether Michael Barrymore could ever stage a comeback. Equal parts nostalgia, comedy industry chat and Great Yarmouth love letter — don't miss it.
