Boy did they laugh. Yes, The Big Muddler is back before a live audience, this time at the magical festival of FolkEast, held each summer in deep, flat, golden Suffolk. It was late on Sunday evening. A sturdy, sozzled crowd had gathered to check out the fuss about this new sketch comedy podcast. Who knows what they were expecting. But what they got …
… was a cheeky hamper of cheap hilarity. Listed Jokes, of course, plus classic sketches from the vault – Radio Four's Shi**ing Forecast, and the Dogging Forecast too – plus an appearance from West of England Correspondent Denzel Rumpo that's just about safe enough for broadcast. What's more, soap opera Great Crustaceans made its live debut, with Cornwall's premier shellfish rockband appearing, disastrously, at the Harwich Shanty Festival. Plus! A shout-out for local sponsor Anglia Water – 'See you on the poop deck!' – with a performance of music hall classic Down Below (The Song of the London Sewerman).
Thanks (and apologies) to Becky and John of FolkEast for allowing this nonsense to infiltrate their lovely festival.
As ever, there's only one person responsible. Matthew Crampton. And he'd love to hear from you. Do get in touch via [email protected] or check him out on the socials, as I think they say.
Oh, and this is the finale of Season Two. Thanks for listening. Mr Crampton's now off to have his body re-assembled, which may take a few months. Then he'll return with Season Three, which threatens to feature Celebrity Guest Pals. Meantime, there'll be some Muddler Interruptions and maybe the odd medical update. Byeee.
