Alexei is joined by comedian Paul Currie who - for the first time - shares his side of a story that made headlines back in February 2024. His run at Soho Theatre came to a bitter end thanks to the slander and false accusations made by the CAA, Soho Theatre and gullible journalists - despite all the eye-witness reports and blatant absurdity of the claims.
Here, for the first time, we will hear what actually happened from Paul's point of view. Please share and help spread the word!

But you mustn't be greedy, little one! You can have them one at a time.
This first stocking is full of Peter's early life up in Glasgow. How he went from art student to punk band to movie star.
In a few days time, if you're very, very good, you will receive your second serving of Mr. Capaldi....

Alexei welcomes Bassem Youssef onto the show to explore the true purpose of satire, the perhaps unfair expectations of comedians as activists and his upcoming shows in the UK.
Bassem will be playing the Southbank Centre in London on 9th March 2023, The Rep in Birmingham on 10th March and The O2 Ritz in Manchester on 11th March... and our very own Talal Karkouti will be supporting him!
If you didn't already know, Bassem Youssef began as a heart surgeon before becoming a hugely successful TV satirist in Egypt until his freedom became threatened by prison time. After fleeing to the USA he reinvented himself as a stand-up in his second language and has featured frequently on TV alongside John Stewart, Stephen Colbert and his own TV shows.

Many of you watched Al Jazeera's three part series The Labour Files in horror as the inner schemings and corruption of The Labour Party were revealed. Many of you were equally horrified to see that it was getting very little to no coverage in the mainstream media! Well, in today's podcast we have executive producer of those films and director/writer of the second part - on antisemitism - joining Alexei for a deep dive on how corruption on this scale gets to exist, survive and grow, and what to expect in the future.
Stick around until the end of the podcast for a special update on certain aspects of the interview!
