    I love your podcast and you are my favourite comedians. I’ve managed to see both of you live. Suzi at Fareham live and Tom, at the Kings in Portsmouth. It’s such joy the catch you both on other Podcasts and recently heard Suzi on ā€˜Walking The Dog’ in Brighton. ( I think Whippets malt)

    Suzi, I thought it was you in Dept. Q but it was doppelgƤnger actress Chloe Pirrie. Check her out.

    I look forward to listening to you both weekly
