My very awkward debut stand-up comedy set

Sam's Confession To His Parents (Bonus Ep)

I set Sam a challenge for this week's bonus episode to phone his parents up and confess to lying to them for 21 years about ordering Brokeback Mountain on the family DVD account! However, the call quickly took an unexpected turn and became quite emotional...  Show us some love on the @OccasionallyFunnyPod [https://www.instagram.com/occasionallyfunnypod/] Instagram.    See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

The Moment We Knew We Were Gay (Coming Out Stories)

After officially announcing Sam Stanton as my co-host of the Occasionally Funny podcast last week, I thought for our first proper episode we'd take things all the way back to when we first figured out we were both gay, how we eventually came out and what lessons we've learned along the way.  We hope anyone still struggling with their sexuality or parents unsure how to bring certain topics up with their kids will take something from this episode.  Show us some love on the @OccasionallyFunnyPod [https://www.instagram.com/occasionallyfunnypod/] Instagram.    See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

And the co-host winner is...

The search is finally over and in this episode I finally make my Occasionally Funny co-host choice and phone both Sam and my mum up to share the exciting news!  Show us some love on the @OccasionallyFunnyPod [https://www.instagram.com/occasionallyfunnypod/] Instagram.    See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

BONUS: The wait is (almost) over...

With Sam and my mum's co-host auditions complete, this weekend I decided to catch up with them both one last time to see if this helped me make my final decision. Plus, I dig out audio of the first time I ever cried on the internet, reminisce about a homeless man I befriended and tried to bring home as a teenager and welcome a wild card into the studio. Well, I wouldn't say welcome, more they arrived at my door for an unplanned audition.  PS: If you enjoyed my friend Louisa's questionable jokes, find more on her Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/louezar/] here.  See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.
