Live! How comedy can bring hope in dark times - with Adam Hills and Kemah Bob
15 Aug 2024
In this special live episode from the Edinburgh Fringe, recorded on 07/08/24, Nish and Coco are joined by comedians Adam Hills and Kemah Bob to talk about how political comedy offers relief in dark times, while still holding power to account. The gang reflect on political flashpoints and what they learned from it, from dropping a spoonful of sugar to the unique lens that comedy can lend while reporting devastating events. Once again, Nish is confounded by Brat Summer. Later, in a special Q&A session with our live audience, we resurrect Pod Shag the UK and hear about some of the things bringing hope to our listeners, with a special appearance from Nish’s mum. Guests: Adam Hills - Comedian Kemah Bob - Comedian Pod Save the UK is a Reduced Listening production for Crooked Media.
