In Season 1 we drank dry martinis with an olive and discussed the hot socio-political topics of the day, then sang ridiculous songs that made fun, but also hopefully some kind of sense, of those topics.

In Season 2 we took inspiration from the great Calvin Harris and analyzed what was really acceptable in the ‘80s… and the ‘70s, and the ‘90s, and the naughties, etc. And then sang more ridiculous songs.

Magical Margate

So happy to have found this

After seeing Frisky and Mannish for the first time at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe this year which was absolutely brilliant I wanted to find out more, so I have now listened to all their podcasts. Fantastic to hear Laura and Matthew chatting a bit about their lives, their creative process and their work. They are so clever, funny, talented and likeable and they tackle some thorny issues. These songs are a brilliant snapshot of some of their best work. Seeing them again in Margate on tour in October- can’t wait. PLEASE come to London again soon as well !
