· 5 pulledIt's basically a show where comedians come on and argue for their most outrageous opinions, and the studio audience decides who wins. It's chaotic and I love it.
The U.K. comedy scene is incredibly vibrant right now. There's so much talent coming through from different backgrounds and platforms.
I think panel shows have evolved. They're not just about quick one-liners anymore; audiences want genuine debate and personality.
Podcasting has completely changed how comedians build audiences. It's a direct line to fans without any filter.
