Man.. all the UK comics have aged so much. I still remember them 15+ years ago, fresh faced with fresh jokes. Time is passing by. Need to appreciate the times we are in while we’re still here.

[@milesharbord9339]

Lol, I thought you meant Beano 🤭

[@jeannieK1117]

And Josh's book is delightful! Perfect pressie for those of us of a certain age ;)

[@claireshaw2980]

The black hole at Alton was legit the BEST ride imaginable. Gave you whiplash at the end.

[@Gary87]

As someone who grew up on Dartmoor in the 90/00 and lives by the house of marbles he isn’t lying, marbles where a big thing haha

[@lisahenry20]

When he said the black hole I thought he was talking about the Oblivion tunnel and it reminded me of a video of someone on Oblivion where the seatbelt came undone on the fall. The rest of the harness stayed secure, but it was hilarious seeing her look down at the harness after she came out of the tunnel to see that it had come undone.

[@agent_605]

The thing is that seatbelt is many, many times more likely to fail than the rest of the harness…

[@redsparklyshoes7434]

I had to turn my iPad right down when you mentioned Santa so my little one couldn’t hear you 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[@Aemirys]

Great interview!

[@missybarbour6885]

The Defunctland episode on The Black Hole is a great one!

[@CommanderCthulhu]

His side profile is basically blond Ed Sheeran

[@aliciabruce9881]

Fuckin love the house of marbles 😆

[@budle89]

Came to the comment because the CC wrote Edinburgh as enema and called him one of the best upcoming comedians in the enema festival. 🤣

[@travelwell6049]

lol, I saw that and my brain was totally accepting of it being called the enema festival

[@destinitra]

Oh House of Marbles! I didn’t realise it was a place I thought it was just a company. I work in a museum & we order tons of stock to sell in our shop from House of Marbles.

[@sya8109]

Josh Widdicombe looks like Boris without glasses

[@livb6945]

Delightful "interview" !!

[@OfficialFingazMC]

Love Josh (when he's not preaching on Last leg) I love the sitcom, must of binge watched it at least 8 odd times on iplayer.

[@bsixtwelve9799]

Is it just me or does Russell look like a different person lately? Is it darker hair? Have we been in this pandemic forever and it’s just ages since I saw him last? I can’t put my finger on it.

[@ButterNutSqwoosh]

His hair is definitely not as bright of a blonde as it used to be

[@fayedavies3086]

Now that is an idea they can call it something like celebrity theme park bonanza lol but give them games to do on the ride

[@joanne4758]

is the new programme called One Night Show - has it started airing in UK. Thanks

[@jamesdean0885]

Is it just me or does he look like a young Elton John?

[@ThatCoalSoul]

1:38 - 1:58 What an original idea *cough* Ally Law *cough* that no one else has ever attempted *cough* Ally Law *cough* !!!!!!

[@milesharbord9339]

The King of England...

[@InkyDaCaT]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🙌

[@notsosmall2830]

Appalled that Russell Howard is from the south-west and somehow not already familiar with the House of Marbles. Can anyone tell me if it still has the animatronic talking Christmas tree during the festive period?

[@kamilarosinska5404]

A real British hobbit.

Childhood in the 90’s! Poo and bum I feel old!

My child loves Christmas although I chose never to lie to her that a fat man in a red suit brings the presents

[@travelwell6049]

Good. The whole Santa thing never made any sense to me as a child

[@h4nk3rz42]

Suuuuiiiiii

[@randomguy4820]

Josh Widdicombe or Bernard Manning, discuss!

[@AR.4]

Josh is looking more and more like Elton John

[@Jamal_Tyrone]

Anne Widdicombe's son?

[@zakariaabdalmomen8729]

Oh they are two different people…

[@joshuarizalforeman816]

Santa IS real...I took my five-year-old daughter to see her in Lapland.

[@jonathanguinan8248]

Whatever your drinking or smoking most be dam good if you think santa is a her

[@joshuarizalforeman816]

@@jonathanguinan8248 She had a beard but also boobs. And yes, it was pretty pokey Finnish liquor.

[@geoffreyjohnson2240]

He's not one of the UK's favourite comedians - he's alright, but definitely not one of the UK's favourites

[@angeladawn805]

But Russell can't introduce him as "here's a well known, middle ranking, doing well for himself comedian" now can he Geoffrey?. Manners darling, manners, and being a good host. :)

[@gitman3486]

Technically if he's not the UK's most hated comedian he can be counted among "one of the favourites"

[@fomofud9479]

Oh dear Geoffrey, oh dear ....

[@susanhilton3436]

I don't know who the guy is, I only watched because of Russell

[@GordyB666]

Never understood the point of or how Josh became famous. What is his talent?

[@fomofud9479]

Whatever it is, it's definitely a lot better than yours and mine. He's been on TV for years, has his own show, writing best sellers ..... and here we are making pointless comments on TH-cam. I assume this is your talent? 🤣

[@GordyB666]

@@fomofud9479 well I like Russell, he's funny at least.
No, my talent is regulatory compliance, not the entertainment business 😂.

[@fomofud9479]

@@GordyB666 lol, that sounds boring as hell, no wonder you're on TH-cam making comments 😅. I think he's good on the last leg, the 3 of them work well together. His stand up isn't great but then again his humour works on panel shows. He is clearly not everyone's cup of tea but he does seems to have a solid fan base.

[@JDsMovieZone]

Oh dear.

[@Lathan26]

I thought alton towers was just a nottingham thing I didn't know other people knew it

[@lilystfanone3277]

The whole world knows about Alton towers it’s a big bucket list theme park for loads of enthusiasts 😂

[@SpiralSniperz]

What about Stoke on Trent lol it’s about 20 mins away

[@gavla3550]

And it's in Staffordshire 😅

[@Harri_Jay_Kay]

Mate people outside the UK know about Alton Towers

[@hoebywan]

People in Anaheim, California feel the same way about Disney Land. Honest, you don't sound ridiculous at all...

[@asticou04]

The black hole innuendos didn’t make any sense.

[@tymek2106]

Is is just me or they looking very similar?

[@baldcadaver3685]

yeah thats just you.

[@isaacjacobs3785]

Arguably Widdicombe is the most annoying and unfunny comedian, full stop!

[@QIKUGAMES-QIKU]

Can you sit any further apart ? Looks stupid

[@ilovestamon]

Would you prefer them sitting in each others laps?
