In this episode Charlie interviews Luke from Luke's English Podcast and as Luke is not only an ESL teacher but also a comedian, Charlie asked him to describe the journey a comedian takes to become a successful comic in the UK. Luke highlights an important difference between British comedy and British humour. We also squeeze a juicy story out of him during his rock 'n' roll days and he even shares a moment when he was dying on his arse on stage as a comedian. Luke has a delightful way with his words so get ready to learn a lot of intermediate to advanced vocabulary and expressions. I created 100+ flashcards for this episode in The Academy.
