Would Tom & Rom go to a stranger's wedding?

Plus, the best nicknames ever sent to the pod, which holiday friendships are worth keeping, and who gets the legs, the hair and the comedic brain when the boys build their dream celebrity.

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.
