About this episode
Comedians Katherine Ryan (First Born Daughter special, Tinsel Town film, The Audacity: Why Being Too Much Is Exactly Enough book) and Alan Carr (Have I Said Too Much? tour, Alan Carr's Picture Slam BBC One, Interior Design Masters Netflix) join Jameela for a night of televised flops, dance floor disasters, and dignity going straight down the drain.
Alan relives the sweat-drenched chaos of Grease Live (voted worst show on British telly two years running) and the New York toilet incident that left him watching a movie premiere in sunglasses he didn't need. Katherine remembers the audition that proved she has zero rhythm, and the boyfriend who brought her along as an unwitting third wheel on his own date. Jameela gets an electric slide lesson from Beyoncé that goes nowhere fast, and learns that telling Catherine O'Hara "I hope I look like you when I'm old" does not land the way she means it to.
This week's Misery Loves Company comes from listener Taylor, whose birthday surprise arrived at exactly the wrong moment for her digestive system.
Jameela's Substack is A Low Desire To Please, you can also find her on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube.
Our consulting producer is Colin Anderson.
