Most nights, it's mostly unwatchable. It's been 43 years since a World Series and now into a third year of horrific new ownership that replaced a three-decade regime of awfulness has left the Baltimore Orioles franchise with plenty of empty seats, a sub-.500 record and a crisis for David Rubenstein and Michael Arougheti.

This week on The Liverpool Comedy ImprovCast, the format is… gently ignored. With no guest and no improv deep dive in sight, host Iain Luke Jones takes the bold (and potentially reckless) decision to go solo and slightly off-piste. The reason? His brand new album, Iain Luke Jones: The Man Under the Hat. In this special episode, Iain talks through the making of the album, the ideas behind it, and the journey from “this might be fun” to “well, it's happening now”. Expect a peek behind the curtain, a few stories along the way, and the occasional detour that may or may not find its way back. Improv fans, fear not. The spirit of it is still very much alive… just pointed in a slightly different direction this week. Iain Luke Jones: The Man Under the Hat is available to download and stream from May 22nd.
