In this debut episode, Harry and Jacob get stuck into their first comedy topic: WIPS, or work-in-progress shows. What does the lifespan of a WIP look like for a comedian? Why are they an important part of the comedy calendar? Did Harry’s recent WIP go well?

Jacob’s buzzing after a recent football result went his way, and shares some insights into how Yorkshire reacts to a sonic boom. Meanwhile, Harry workshops his survival plan for the first day of a hypothetical zombie apocalypse.

What does it take to put together five minutes of quality stand-up material? Harry and Jacob’s second topic covers the club set, or tight five, that is the bread-and-butter of most stand up comedians. Having recently been working on his routine, Harry gives insights into the writing and honing process that goes into creating a bulletproof, and authentic, five minutes of stand-up.

The pair also provide a bit of context as to their roles at The Gaffe Comedy Club, and what they are working on currently to improve the club in these early months.
