A brilliant double-feature on The MarshyCast today. 

First up, comedian Alasdair Beckett-King joins me ahead of his latest tour to talk about what audiences can expect, how his surreal online videos compare to the rhythm of live stand-up, and the comedians who inspired him — just not the one everyone always assumes. A thoughtful, witty chat with one of the UK’s most distinctive comic voices. 

Then, celebrity chef Sam Holland (brother of Tom, son of Dominic) steps into the studio to share his guide to the perfect Christmas dinner, how he found his own path as a chef away from the Hollywood spotlight, and what Christmas really looks like in the Holland household. Warm, genuine and full of brilliant kitchen tips. 

Two completely different worlds, one cracking episode.
