Written by Glenn with additional material by Katie Storey (Have I Got News For You, Mock The Week, The Last Leg) and produced and directed by David Tyler (Cabin Pressure,“Armando Iannucci's Charm Offensive, and many more).

My guest today is an English comedian, actor and one of the most prolific joke writers in the UK. He first made a room laugh as a young child at his aunt's wedding, when, during the ceremonial speeches, the other guests overheard him speaking to his mother. While a student at the University of Sheffield he again became an accidental stand-up when, at the last minute, he filled in for the compere at a comedy event. Since then he has delighted audiences with his rapid fire joke-telling, both at the Edinburgh Festival, where he has been nominated for the 'Best Show' Comedy Award, and on television as a regular panellist on BBC's Mock The Week, ITV's The Stand Up Sketch Show, and most recently, the new US series The Great American Joke-Off. My guest is also a presenter on BBC's videogames TV show and podcast ‘Press X To Continue' – for which he has completed more than a hundred games every year since 2020. Welcome Glenn Moore.

Andy Zaltzman of The Bugle, The News Quiz and Test Match Special tells Tiff how being spurned by Mock The Week annoyed him early in his career, how the partisan combative tone of all news these days makes him weary, and how the repetitive formulaic presentation and relentless positivity of reality TV shows like The Great British Bake Off drives him up the wall. He then explains to Tiff how the human race's determination to undo all great work done by other parts of the human race is the greatest of historic beefsProduced by Ped Hunter and Chris Skinner.

Anyone from Yorkshire will know that from the day there are only ever two drinks on offer: tea and ale. Whichever you choose depends on both your age and the time of day, but it means that those who grew up in God's Own Country have pubs running through their veins (not literally). Our guest this week is one such Yorkie - it's Maisie Adam! You may know Maisie from her appearances on Live at The Apollo, A League of Their Own, Mock The Week, and The Last Leg. You may also have been lucky enough to see her performing stand-up live in the flesh (if you haven't, get yourself out to one of her shows!). She's also spent plenty of time frequenting the boozers of this fair isle... and something tells us she's going to create a pub near to the Landlord's own heart.

*This is part 2 of Thanyia Moore's episode. Though you are free to listen in whichever order you so desire we really do recommend listening to part 1 first or things might be slightly confusing*Comedy lends itself to spending a lot of time in pubs. Whether it's on a wooden box in a back room, on a carpeted stage in the corner or simply leaning on a bar sharing an anecdote to a large group of people, you're never too far away from a laugh in a pub. As such, the relationship between comedians and pubs can often be a special one. This week's guest is one of the finest stand-up comedians in the UK, and has spent plenty of time plying her trade in pubs up and down the land: it's the wonderful Thanyia Moore! As well as appearing on the likes of Mock The Week, The Duchess and Pure Thanyia is one of the hottest prospects in stand-up. She performed her debut Edinburgh show last year and is currently in the middle of a MASSIVE UK tour, so no doubt she's been spending the odd evening sampling the best alehouses this country has to offer.

Cost of living crisis, government scandals – are they the sort of things people want to laugh at? At Edinburgh Fringe, some shows are steering away from satire – apparently unconvinced it is what audiences want. After the BBC cancelled Mock The Week too, is there still a place for topical comedy and satire? On the Sky News Daily podcast, our arts & entertainment editor Amy Hitchcock is joined by comedians Nish Kumar, Rosie Holt and Sarah Southern, along with our entertainment reporter Jayson Mansaray.Senior podcast producer: Annie Joyce Interviews producer: Madeleine Drury Podcast promotions producer: David Chipakupaku Editor: Paul Stanworth
