    #18 And Here's Why I Hate Idris Elba...

    The boys are back in the familiar surroundings of Chris' tiny flat this week to bring you Episode 18 of Impaired: A Comedy Disability Podcast!
    As the dust settles on last week's exciting excursions to a studio three miles down the road, Pete tells us about the time he was bullied by comedians in a group chat, before he goes on to discuss his weird distain for Idris Elba. 
    On top of this and much much more, there is of course the latest instalment of Carroll Comedy Capers, and Chris offers up a Disabled Bullshit in a dramatic late change to advertised programming.

    #17 James Morrison - You Can't Shag On Broken Springs

    It's a special episode of Impaired this week, as it was recorded at the home of the KOMI Group in Manchester!
    As part of a documentary film Jack has been making with social media site 'It's Gone Viral', the guys had to put some proper clothes on, do their hair and head across Manchester from Chris' flat to record this episode.
    The mini-doc is due out in a few weeks, but the podcast was filmed in full and you can watch it now on our Youtube Channel here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJKFq1oiPbU
    In this episode, the new series of Love Island is discussed, and this week portion of Carroll Comedy Capers throws up the unexpected topic of incest in Jack's immediate family.

Taxon rascal ,

Hiya

I love how you speak so honestly. What a relief to hear plain speech, backed up with experience, many thanks!

Brilliant

Loving the work lads. Takes me back to your live show at the Electric Theatre in Barnsley - probably the last cultural/entertainment I attended back in the before-times of January? Great bants.

Willowisexhausted ,

Big relief

Glad to know I'm not the only disabled person who's a bit of a d*ck (I'm too lazy to be an inspiration everyday). Also a bloody funny listen.
