Kevin Napier, Emma Aldridge & Lou take the WTM stage as Britwich, a British Sandwich if you will, with Kevin as the single slice of American ham.

What's The Mate favourites, CUNT HAMMER, join us for another episode and it's a live one! Sara Nere, Caroline Clifford and Janina Rook took us on a very entertaining bro date inspired by Julia's solo mission to the movies, and a listener's voice note about mansplaining had our three improvisors do a very weird bit with a man hitting on women in ways that no-one ever should.

Together, Matilde Kaizer, Nacho Sanguinetti and Trevor Silverstein improvised off of one of the more ridiculous AirBnB Experiences we’ve come across - Techno Painting. They also took us over to Britain where the Brexit vs Breakfast debate materialised, deboning a human foot was akin to deboning a chicken and Nacho casually used the word “parsimonious”- to be honest, we’re still not 100% sure what it means.This

Another week, another episode! This week we are joined by Amanda King, Marisa Llamas and Steindór Jónsson who treated us to some brilliantly funny and at times utterly terrifying Improv.
