E06: Noel's House Party

from Long Distance, Bit Weird · host Michael Balazo and Sooz Kempner

Welcome to Long Distance, Bit Weird--the new podcast from international comedy couple Sooz Kempner and Michael Balazo. One of them lives in the UK, the other in Canada. CAN YOU EXPLAIN THIS??? This week Sooz tells Michael about the uniquely British phenomenon of Noel's House Party. It was the most popular Saturday night television show in the 90s, but why? Was it down to Noel's monologues, the Gotcha pranks, celebrity guests, Mr. Blobby, or Noel's impeccable hair? Listen to find out! PLUS: Sooz and Michael present yet another edition of the hit segment "Actual Customer Letters to Wetherspoon News," in which we read genuine letters written to a pub. PLUS PLUS: Sooz flashes Michael several times during the recording. *** If you like what you hear, you can support Long Distance, Bit Weird on Patreon. Subscribers will get early access to episodes, bonus content and special surprises.
