Rule Of Three

Comedy

Comedy writers Jason Hazeley and Joel Morris talk to people who make comedy about something funny that they love. Guests pick something that makes them laugh. A book, a film, a tv show, a comic, a radio show, anything. Maybe we find out something about how comedy works, or we just giggle until we're finished. Both approaches are valid.

A taster of the NEW PODCAST from Rule Of Three's Joel Morris. Many Rule of Three fans have been asking if there will be more episodes.

But you may enjoy Comfort Blanket, taking the same deep-dive approach as RO3 and applying it to films, books, TV and records - including comedy topics and guests from the world of comedy.
