Do The Right Thing

Hello!This isn't a new episode of Do The Right Thing (sob!) but we thought you might like to sample Margaret's new(ish) podcast Crushed! - and in particular the latest episode in which she chats to Danielle about her crushes and unrequited loves in all their intense and embarrassing glory. Within there is plenty of discussion of why stand ups make terrible boyfriends, which two qualities you'd have to have to date Danielle, and some frankly filthy discussion of the hottest star of Red Dwarf - Chris Barrie. Yes, you read that right. Chris Barrie. If you like it then why not subscribe to the show by searching for 'Crushed by Margaret Cabourn-Smith' wherever you usually do that sort of thing. Hosted on Acast.

Stories of romance, success and bravery are not included. Instead of writing about how fun and exciting the life of a comedian is, he decided to tell the truth.Join Michael as he tries hard to control his fury at absolutely everything in this selection of 14 of his favourite arguments (but probably not yours) from his archive, plus the brand-new short story Mister Err Gets Blocked.Please go to https://gofasterstripe.com/pigs for more information and to join the LIVE LAUNCH next Monday 8th November.

Simon Evans and Lloyd Langford join Danielle, Margaret and Michael in this final episode in the series.

Angela Barnes, Justin Edwards and Gareth Gwynn join Danielle and Margaret (but not the amnesia-suffering Michael) in this toddler-feeding, skip-jumping, Moscow-advising episode recorded at the Phoenix in July. Other sexy subjects include finding loved ones in beds with builders and looking at dragons getting it on with cars. Plus we learn all about double agents from history expert Joshua Levine.

Angelos Epithemiou and John-Luke Roberts are the guests in this episode recorded at the Phoenix in June. They discuss heart-break, how to shake off stalkers and the sticky subject of how to stop your father-in-law pleasuring himself on your sofa. Additionally we welcome back DTRT pilot stalwart Jim Bob as our 'pop star' expert guest. There's also a less welcome appearance from a power-drill being used in the building next door to the Phoenix. It isn't too intrusive - honest! If you enjoy Do The Right Thing then you can help us by spreading the word - perhaps change your name to 'Hello friend, why not try Do The Right Thing podcast?

EPISODE 5: Jon Holmes and Bridget Christie. The much delayed episode 5 (producer's paternity leave!) finally arrives. Danielle, Margaret and Michael are joined by radio man and man Jon Holmes and stand-up woman and sometime ant Bridget Christie. Issues tackled include jumping off trains, talking to your father about sex and flowers. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

EPISODE 4: Scott Capurro and David Reed. This week Danielle, Margaret and Michael are joined by Scott Capurro (American, gay, has appeared in Mrs. Doubtfire and Star Wars: Phantom Menace) and David Reed (Yorkshireman, straight, has appeared in The Penny Dreadfuls and in his own Shamblehouse). They tackle many issues - and this episode is essential listening for anyone broody, stuck down a well, sceptical about botox and trying to work out what to do with an injured bird. Also appearing is expert bagpiper Roddy and the knotty problems of stray dogs and Whoopee Goldberg. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

EPISODE 3: Thom Tuck and Martin White. Penny Dreadful and sizeable chunk of the Alternative Comedy Memorial Society (ACMS) Thom Tuck and Karaoke Circus frontman, the white half of Ward & White, fellow Dave-Gorman-on-Absolute refugee and Do The Right Thing music composer Martin White. Armed with them, the teams must tackle the collapse of civilisation, the rights and wrongs of tattoos and excesses of body hair. This week's expert is Santa (genuinely). But if we learn one thing above all else this show, it is that Martin is NOT gay. Or is he? No. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

EPISODE 2: Rich Fulcher and Emma Kennedy appear to have mistaken Do The Right Thing for a horror panel show as they recount tales of burial alive and pickled-onion-induced wedding-death. Also: reluctant bridesmaidery, kissing, twins and a swimming pool that turns orange if you shout 'Yahtzee'. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

EPISODE 1: Al Murray and Shappi Khorsandi join Danielle, Margaret and Michael to discuss royal rejections, alien probes, vegans and an audience member's toilet issues. Recorded at the Pleasance at the Edinburgh Fringe 2011, it also features Honey Wilde bringing her expertise in burlesque to bear on some nipple tassel and merkin-related problems. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

PILOT: This is the 'Do The Right Thing' pilot episode recorded back in April 2011. It is so rough-and-ready that we forgot to introduce any of the teams - hence Producer Ben chips in at the start with a stultifyingly unfunny but mercilessly brief factual introduction. After that we get onto the serious business of plummeting lifts, punching piranhas and penis extensions. Alongside regulars Danielle Ward, Michael Legge and Margaret Cabourn-Smith, the pilot features comedy writer and performer Dan Maier and musician, author and renaissance man Jimbob from Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine.
