What "real" jobs did comedians do before seeking the approval of strangers? We speak to a mix of new and experienced comedians and what made them want to stop earning an honest living and become a comedian.
So this was originally called a bonus episode, but we were worried about being sued under the trade description act 2011. So in episode 4 we have your hosts talking about their own "careers". From Sushi chefs with no respect for the authorities, Boat heists, Pornstar wrestling and a Dyson induced mental breakdown.... Come and find out why everyone should try harder at School.

Episode 1 - Justin Panks
In Episode 1 we talk to the man, the myth, the legend that is Justin Panks. On the comedy circuit for over 10 years, Justin is one of the most bullet proof acts you will see anywhere. But we talk about the jobs he did before comedy, and what made him want to spend his evenings seeking the approval of strangers. It’s even harder to understand why, when you hear about his lucrative career in a coleslaw factory.
