Heated Rivalry, Paul Mescal and being female comedians

This week Fern talks about her new obsession with Heated Rivalry, romanticising all Irish men (except Paul Mescal) and Alison explains how her comedy has changed as a - quote un-quote - "female comedian".

Fern is running the London Marathon on Sunday 26 April 2026 to raise money for Autistica, the UK’s national autism research charity. You can sponsor Fern and help support this incredible charity here!

Alison is currently on tour with her award-winning show Big. For tickets and information head to alisonspittle.com.
