   Comedy & Stan-Up (Ep. 12)

   Charlie babbles with his excellent friend Alfi Howard, filling in for his brother (again—because, apparently, Charlie's family runs on stand-ins). In this episode, the pair dive deep, discussing the nature and business of comedy. Alfi shares his tales from the trenches as a comedian, talks about the stand-up competition he's organising, and somehow, Charlie's involvement in it. Spoiler alert: neither knows how Charlie got involved, but it's happening anyway!
