HORATIO GOULD (Pt1) Fin Vs History Origins, Starting a Fight Club, The Joke That Changed His Life
The phenomenal Horatio Gould, co-host of Fin Vs History & Boys Gone Wild and behind the scenes creative of Fin Vs Internet, joins Class Clown and reveals his comedy origin story which occurred in French class, how his love for History birthed one of the UK's biggest podcasts and how the combination of having an aspirational working class father and a middle class mum gives him a unique perspective on class.
He talks about the dynamics of private school, and being on the receiving end of anti-semitism despite not being Jewish and tells a very funny story about starting a teenage Fight Club.

STEWART LEE (Pt1) The Riyadh Comedy Festival, The Oasis Reunion, Marvel & Star Wars
Stewart Lee gives his characteristically honest takes on the performers who chose to play the Riyadh Comedy festival in Saudi Arabia, why he's not into the Oasis reunion despite liking their work, why the current state of Marvel is in direct opposition to what the brand once stood for, why Star Trek is superior to Star Wars (and why Star Trek is better for people with autism).
He also shares a story about getting beaten up by teenagers a few years ago, his love of Top Trumps, why you'll soon be able to buy an action figure of him and why you shouldn't use Chat GPT to write interview questions.

In Class Clown, Seann Walsh chats to the boldest rule-breakers in entertainment, uncovering the wild tales of childhood chaos, brushes with disaster, and the personal battles that shaped them.
