Wolf & Owl with Romesh Ranganathan and Tom Davis

What's the best way to get ready for a stand-up show?

This week, the boys attempt to settle who is the more likeable of the two, using the only reliable measure available: an Instagram poll.

Then it’s life on the road: stand-up nerves, pre-show rituals, a gobo, a tour programme and the great merch debate. There’s a complaint about the pre-show music, a flyer campaign that lasted a single night, and a backstage emergency that really should stay between friends.
