Comedians Pauline Eyre and Louise Leigh use their famous Dimension Matrix (or Dominatrix, aka The Salad Spinner of Destiny) to give their guests the chance to visit other dimensions and choose one to live in forever.
Eyre-Leigh Doors is a comedy game show/chat show mash up that gives guests the chance to talk about their hopes and dreams, their embarrassing moments, their greatest triumphs and the people they would - and wouldn't - like to share them with if they had their chance.
Guests have the chance to choose just one dimension to live in - one door to walk through. But the catch is, they don't get to hear all the options before they choose! Will they opt to relive their worst ever day but spend it with their heroes? Or achieve their wildest professional goals in the company of Nobby Nosepicker from school? It's a case of Choose it or Lose it!
Pauline and Louise met in early 2020 when they shared a midlife comedy moment - one of the last shows before the Corona Virus. It took a year of chatting and developing an entirely different set of ideas before settling on this fun format. Both took up comedy in midlife, and bring a richness of life experience - and silliness - to the table.
"Such fun to do! A really ace format" Mark Olver
"Dynamite!" Stu Goldsmith

PAULINE'S BOOK! (https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/1120562/all-puns-blazing/9781529109313.html)
Welcome to the Eyre-Leigh Doors community! Here’s what’s in your show today:
It’s the incredible Angela Barnes. A Mock the Week regular, Radio 4 stalwart and one of the funniest comics on the circuit today, she gave us her all!
We talk a little about “Open Spots”. These are non-professional comedians who often travel many miles to do 10 minutes comedy in a draughty village hall for nothing but the love of the game. Gill Edwards’ Comedy Course details here (https://jill-edwards.co.uk/courses-workshops/stand-up-comedy-courses/)
Boris Johnson in a greasy spoon, a deep dive into the culture of Ambridge. Peter Oborne on the Newsquiz - here’s a Reddit thread about it
So much chat about how Angela feels about her recent ADHD diagnosis and neurodivergence in general (a topic v close to Louise’s heart!)
Linda Smith - here’s a video of her on Have I Got News for You (https://youtu.be/TjDilBOB7i0) that will remind you that nothing much changes in politics, although a lot has changed in representation of women on TV!
Fascinating stuff about nuclear bunkers!
We try to give Angela her dream come true. But will she take it?

Rachel Creeger
Welcome to the Eyre-Leigh Doors community! Here’s what’s in your show today:
Much discussion of kneidlach, without any discussion of what they actually are! They’re super tasty matzo balls that go in traditional Jewish chicken soup. Yum!
And the song about Zaidy (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrZJcqDiyjk).
A wolf of a headteacher, and at one point Louise asserts that Frazzles are vegan. This is NOT TRUE. Repeat, NOT TRUE (https://allplants.com/blog/lifestyle/are-frazzles-suitable-for-vegans). They are, however, vegetarian. Does that make them kosher? They have milk in, so… maybe? I dunno. I’m not a rabbi.
The image of Adam Ant (https://www.adam-ant.net/discography/Discographyimages/albums/strip/uk/2.jpg) that lived in Rachel’s cupboard, Taika Waititi the perfect podcast guest.
Valerie Landsburg - if you don’t know who she is, AND WHY WOULD YOU! Here she is singing 80s banger, Hi Fidelity (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sBPF9ZQ82k) from The Kids from Fame.
Jewish mothering, Dave Chapelle and why men and woman can’t be friends. If you know, you know.
Victoria Wood, of course.

Felicity Ward and the Directioners
Welcome to the Eyre-Leigh Doors community!
Here’s what’s in your show today:
Lots of chat about laundry, because even celebs have to launder.
Lovely stuff about the intensity of friendships between girls and the awful realisation that maybe YOU were the bully.
Trigger Warning for Xylophobics everywhere. And here’s the bit about the drunk girl from a nightclub toilet (watch til the end) (https://www.chortle.co.uk/video/2018/09/11/41212/felicity_ward_has_some_tips_for_tackling_low_self-esteem)
We talk dancing like nobody’s watching, even if people are watching.
Doing the voices when you’re reading to your kids. There is a song of the Going on A Bear Hunt (https://youtu.be/mZfAf1SNRUY) that predates the MIchael Rosen book.
Frank talk about frank talk.
Some Christmas content and also Robin Williams.
