Eyre-Leigh DoorsAngela Barnes In AmbridgePAULINE'S BOOK! Welcome to the Eyre-Leigh Doors community! Here’s what’s in your show today: It’s the incredible Angela Barnes. A Mock the Week regular, Radio 4 stalwart and one of the funniest comics on the circuit today, she gave us her all! We talk a little about “Open Spots”. These are non-professional comedians who often travel many miles to do 10 minutes comedy in a draughty village hall for nothing but the love of the game. Gill Edwards’ Comedy Course details hereBoris Johnson in a greasy spoon, a deep dive into...2021-12-291h 27Eyre-Leigh DoorsRachel CreegerWelcome to the Eyre-Leigh Doors community! Here’s what’s in your show today: Much discussion of kneidlach, without any discussion of what they actually are! They’re super tasty matzo balls that go in traditional Jewish chicken soup. Yum! And the song about Zaidy. A wolf of a headteacher, and at one point Louise asserts that Frazzles are vegan. This is NOT TRUE. Repeat, NOT TRUE. They are, however, vegetarian. Does that make them kosher? They have milk in, so… maybe? I dunno. I’m not a rabbi. The ima...2021-12-2259 minEyre-Leigh DoorsFelicity Ward and the DirectionersWelcome to the Eyre-Leigh Doors community! Here’s what’s in your show today: Lots of chat about laundry, because even celebs have to launder. Lovely stuff about the intensity of friendships between girls and the awful realisation that maybe YOU were the bully. Trigger Warning for Xylophobics everywhere. And here’s the bit about the drunk girl from a nightclub toilet (watch til the end) We talk dancing like nobody’s watching, even if people are watching. Doing the voices when you’re reading to your kids. There is...2021-12-151h 18Eyre-Leigh DoorsDavid Ferguson is an Action Figure not a dollyShow notes for: David FergusonWelcome to the Eyre-Leigh Doors community! Here’s what’s in your show today: David Ferguson is a London-based comic from Northern Ireland. And a lovely episode it is too. It features Joan Crawford, Reverend Ian Paisley, the miracle that is Maria Bamford and the delights of a young Brendan Fraser. And you can’t say that about any other podcast, can you? You can watch Maria Bamford’s specials on Netflix if you are so inclined. Be so inclined, seriously, do. This is an old one, w...2021-12-0739 minEyre-Leigh DoorsJohn Robertson: The Door to The Dark RoomWelcome to the Eyre-Leigh Doors community! Here’s what’s in your show today: John Robertson dances along the line between genius and madman with all the flair and aplomb of a peak-career Antoine Du Beke. What an absolute joy to have on the podcast. It’s chaos from the beginning. Check out his incredible interactive show The Dark RoomCelebrities (including Tim Minchin) lying to you to make you feel special, and how we feel special because of it.Teachers without Qualifications is not as good as Doctors without Borders.

Sadly, we couldn’t understand his wise and hilarious words because we have forgotten how to speak Baby. Huge kudos to Athena for multitasking like a boss and enormous thanks to her for being so generous with her time. We learned about the amazing Yaa Asantewaa, Ghanaian queen mother and rebel, we speculated on the sell by date of Cleopatra’s ass milk - the milk from a donkey, you sicko. And whether Serena Williams would be a good Roman Emperor. Spoiler: YES! We also slagged...2021-11-2456 minEyre-Leigh DoorsJuliet Meyers UnwanksWelcome to the Eyre-Leigh Doors community! Here’s what’s in your show today: Brilliant comedian, writer and dog owner, Juliet Meyers struggles with what’s happened to her teenage crush, Scott Baio, seen here as Chachi, with his TV girlfriend, Joanie. (and here for lovers of 1970s/80s Italian-American comedy actors is Tony Danza). We talk about imagining your world better, the etiquette of turning down a threeway, and which Elvis would you choose? Louise’s preferred Elvis, Juliet’s preferred Elvis, for your reference (and delectation, if that’s how you choose to delectate). And the best ever...2021-11-171h 18Eyre-Leigh DoorsEleanor Morton's Boiled Egg SpectacularCOMPETITION KLAXON!A salad spinner to the first person who can send us a video or audio file of them correctly summoning up Eyre-Leigh Doors on their Alexa.

Here’s what’s in your show today: Fatiha smashed it on the Russell Howard Hour the other week. She was an absolute joy to have on the podcast, even though Pauline was FULL of cold! We slagged off the worst boss - Wiggy McBadBreath, we discussed dancing to plants, childhood career goals, can you rely on fellow comedian Esther Manito? Why are we keeping a duck in a cupboard?

Here’s what’s in your show today: An absolute Festival of Filth from Robin Morgan, a fantastic Welsh comedian whose brilliant joke-writing and engaging persona have got him writing credits all over the shop and a spot on Live at the Apollo and Mock the Week. Basically, he’s got everything. But does he have an amazing job with Basil Brush? Or a disgusting friend? Yes, all of these actually. Oh just listen to it. There aren’t that many podcasts out there that cover wide territory like super...2021-10-271h 03
Eyre-Leigh DoorsJackie Weaver Blames the DogsSome hissing on the track - we welcome speculation as to what it can be. A distant hairdryer perhaps? Or a pet snake? Jackie Weaver is one of the funniest guests on the podcast, with a gorgeous dry sense of humour and an incredibly expressive face, which had us in stitches a lot of the time. We hope this comes across! We put her in a situation where two worlds collide with Anton Du Beke, and see what would happen if her father in law was a certain patronising backbencher - and how abs...2021-10-201h 05Eyre-Leigh DoorsSeries 2 PromoWaaah!

Eyre-Leigh DoorsLaura Lexx and the Evil Gary BarlowWelcome to the Eyre-Leigh Doors community! Here’s what’s in your show today: Final episode in the series! It was recorded at the Brighton Fringe at Sweet Venues, definitely not in a toilet. Apologies that it does sound a little toilety. A very funny, sweet, thoughtful episode nonetheless and well worth tuning your ears into. Of course, Jurgen Klopp features (read Laura’s book, please do!) and, quite frankly, Laura disgraces herself in a way that only she could (well, and Louise. It’s based on a story from...2021-07-241h 00
Eyre-Leigh DoorsSikisa: Bambi is a Sex Worker!Welcome to the Eyre-Leigh Doors community! Here’s what’s in your show today: Pauline says VULVA during Door Number 1 and we get deep into bikini waxing from the off.

No, but really?A wrestler lands on Sikisa’s lap - but will it be John Cena? Giant Haystacks? Or someone who thinks Bambi is a Sex Whore. The client who’s a...2021-07-1752 min
Eyre-Leigh DoorsKathryn Mather: Pop a Marcus Rashford on top of your wardrobeOh wow - what a blinder of an episode! Kathryn Mather is a young comedian on the up. We presented her with a Coronation Street legend, the chance of a streetlight worth making a documentary about and a cabinet minister with a lot on her plate - most of it stinky sweat gravy.There's extremely strong language on the subject of Gordon Ramsay and an astonishing public proposal from a madman.Kathryn is fast on her way to being the 'pride of our alley', but how does she feel about R...2021-07-1052 min

Eyre-Leigh DoorsHeidi Regan Farts in a BarBrilliant Australian comedian Heidi Regan turns down the opportunity to be on a dull date with current Health Secretary Matt Hancock. Timely, given that we release 24 hours after the story of his raging affair with his aide. She also turns down the chance to have an encounter with a great white shark but be rescued by a “sexy Greta Thunburg” and the chance to be trapped in her own farts with a children’s book character. If you’re playing “recurring celebrities bingo”, you can put a cross through Sandi Toksvig. A lengthy discussion of...2021-06-2649 min
Eyre-Leigh DoorsCally Beaton's Improper Use of a Faberge Yam Gorgeous episode featuring Cally Beaton from QI, The Apprentice You're Fired, off of Radio 4 and an absolute cracking stand up comedian. But, you know, she *may* have ruined Louise's life in the 90s so we have to start with that.Because of Cally's years of work as a top telly executive and as a sought-after comedian and speaker, the celebrity name-dropping is plentiful. We have Elton John at Cally's beck and call, Sandi Toksvig on a dashboard and Joan Rivers like you've never imagined her before. She would approve. Possibly.Yes a yam...2021-06-1953 min
