Brexit is looming. And in the midst of the whirlwind that is stockpiling, Irish borders and fishing waters, some European comedians based in Britain, have taken it upon themselves to say goodbye, you know, just in case. Never Mind the Backstop might just be your last chance to see some brilliant comedians from five EU countries (all of whom have been sponging a living off the British circuit for years) come together, to show Britain just what it is going to be losing in exchange for bendy bananas. And sovereignty. Featuring- Radu Isac (Romania) "sharp and quirky comic mind" - Chortle Arielle Souma (France)  “just what the comedy industry needs “ – Frankie Boyle Luca Cupani (Italy)  “will make you laugh for the rest of the day” - Scotsman Alice Frick (Austria) “exuberant.... perfectly pitched”- Three Weeks Steve Hili (Malta) “The energy of a dog who needs to be taken out” – Vice So celebrate your European values one last time, before swapping them for what is really important. Taking back control of our fishing waters.

I know you should release a trailer before you put your first episode out, but rules are meant to be broken! This is just a little explanation. So everyone can know what the podcast is all about (Spoiler alert - it is about comedians telling me what their countries are really like. How expensive is a beer? How casual is the racism? How stabby is too stabby?) See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Around the World in 80 Comedians is a podcast for travel (and comedy) fans that describes what countries and cities are REALLY like, through the eyes of the most observant creatures of all - comedians. We've all been let down by Trip Advisor before...but now we're going around the world to find out the truth. Is it really like what the tourist brochures say? How "casual" is the racism? What IS the stabbing/STD ratio? Around the World in 80 comedians is presented by Steve Hili. Steve is a comedian who travels a lot for his gigs (hence the idea for the pod).
