3.9 - Ed Byrne
In the final episode of another awesome series of The Proper Class Podcast, Laura and Hannah talk to writer, actor and all round comedy legend, Ed Byrne. They talk about the stigma attached to appearing clever at school, growing up in between two classes, and being a runner-up on Blind Date, missing out on a lunch date in sunny Cambridge. Never mind, eh Ed.
