Charlie Lewis - Gear Or No Gear

EP83 - Charlie Lewis - Gear Or No GearBarry Trotter, once the glittering star of 1980s children's TV, is now a washed-up 74-year-old performer struggling to stay afloat. With his glory days long behind him, Barry scrapes by entertaining unimpressed audiences at dingy social clubs, while sharing a cramped bedsit with his elderly mother. Barry's troubles go deeper than bad gigs and fading fame—he’s drowning in gambling debt. His tormentor? Roger Kittyfeathers, a smug businessman-turned-loan shark with a grudge. Turns out Roger was humiliated live on Barry's show as a child, and he’s been nursing his vendetta ever since. Now, Roger’s got Barry on the ropes, demanding £5000 in a week or the bedsit goes. Desperate and out of options, Barry enters Celebrity Deal or No Deal. With no money and little dignity, Barry faces off against The Banker. Will Barry claw his way back to redemption—or will he leave the studio more humiliated than ever? Packed with heart, humor, and just a little existential dread, this is an All Made Up Story like you've never heard before!Wanna follow Charlie Lewis…https://www.instagram.com/standupcharlie/ Wanna follow Harry Stachini…Insta: @HarrystandupFB: @HarrystachinicomedianYouTube: @HarrystachiniTwitter: @HstachiniThe Staff Room PodcastWanna follow Lewis Coleman…Insta: @lewiscolemanTwitter: @LewisColeman93Wanna follow Ben Hart…Insta: @benhartcomedyFB: @benhartactorTwitter: @benhart0592CreditsRecorded by Lewis ColemanEdited by Clementine Bogg-Hargroves Produced by @GetGiddierArtwork by Elliot @melodyleeart Soundtrack by @grahammccusker#NewPodcast #ComedyPodcast #bbc #celeb #Fantasy Hosted on Acast.
