Frankie Boyle is particularly excited about the shows. His morning yoga routine has really made him love and appreciate mornings, now that he’s stopped doing it. He’s looking forward to both seeing the Guillotine fans in the flesh, and to dying and being released from his earthly torment.
Susie McCabe was recently rebuilt by scientists after a car accident, and now has a metal hand that can crush a man’s head like a beer can. This hasn’t stopped her storming shows up and down the country with a booming metallic voice powered by her robot lungs.
Christopher Macarthur-Boyd is the leader of the group, alphabetically, and will be joining in the chats with his trademark exclamations about things that weren’t under discussion, blurting out thoughts that have risen from his subconscious like a malevolent telepathic squid.
It’s rare that you see three people from working class backgrounds doing a successful podcast. Normally it’s a couple of centrist arseholes whose idea of foreplay is sacking their cleaner. So please, please, come see the show because sponsors have avoided it like a virus.

Edinburgh Playhouse
Although designed as a variety theatre, the Edinburgh Playhouse opened in 1929 as Scotland’s second largest cinema. It was hugely successful and remained so until the downturn in cinema attendance in the early 70s. When it closed in November 1973, the building was at risk of demolition, but following several years of public ‘save the Playhouse’ campaigns it was eventually saved. It reopened in 1980 as the fully functional theatre it was always intended to be. Since then, it has hosted some of the world's biggest music and stand-up comedy acts including, Elton John, The Who, Nick Cave, Kevin Bridges and Tim Minchin and international hit musicals such as The Phantom of the Opera, We Will Rock You, Wicked, Matilda and Disney’s The Lion King.
