    82. Eshaan Akbar - LIVE!

    Today’s guest brings a surprising and somewhat controversial set of wonders that speak to how remarkable human invention truly is. It’s comedian, writer and former Bollywood choreographer Eshaan Akbar! Eshaan makes the case for religion, roads and erm… stairs, which actually turned out better than Clive initially feared! Elsewhere, Eshaan urges us to always note down our relatives’ cooking recipes and encourages us to visit the longest sea loch in Scotland. This episode was recorded live at the Theatre Royal Winchester, June 2024. **If you enjoyed listening to this podcast, please take the time to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen.

    81. Simon Evans - LIVE!

    Have you ever been brought to tears by how delicious something tastes? Well today’s guest Simon Evans has, and you’ll never guess what from! The radio and TV performer, comedian and self-proclaimed curmudgeon joins Clive as he whittles his list of 21 wonders down to seven. Thankfully for Alan Coren, J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis and Leonardo da Vinci, they all made the cut. Plus, Simon opens up about discovering, at age 53, that he was donor conceived, and he also explains why Abbey Road’s Side Two Medley gives him tingles just thinking about it. This episode was recorded live at Farnham Maltings, June 2024. **If you enjoyed listening to this podcast, please take the time to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen.

    80. Jamie D’Souza - LIVE!

    Today we welcome to the stage comedian Jamie D’Souza, who tells Clive all about the wonders Staines has to offer, from its’ primary school turned curry house to the local pub which has witnessed a rather heroic rescue mission. Elsewhere the pair discuss whether a proposal should come as a complete surprise, and Jamie reveals some of the pranks he gets up to in his lunch break! This episode was recorded live at Monmouth’s Savoy Theatre, May 2024. **If you enjoyed listening to this podcast, please take the time to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen.

    79. Chris Stark - LIVE!

    Have you ever wondered what the toilets of Kensington Palace are like? Well today’s guest Chris Stark has the inside scoop, and he believes they’re more wondrous than the Malia Strip! The radio presenter, DJ and podcaster also tells Clive about the time his German pen pal kicked a pigeon in Trafalgar Square, and reveals how his dead goldfish went out with a bang! This episode was recorded live at the Norden Farm Centre for the Arts, April 2024. **If you enjoyed listening to this podcast, please take the time to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen.

    78. Cally Beaton - LIVE!

    Would you ever consider bonobo apes to be a wonder of the world? Well, comedian and writer Cally Beaton certainly does, and on today’s show she tells Clive all about them! And no, she didn't choose them solely because of their slightly fruity behaviour... Cally also makes a strong case for bicycles, ice cream vans and Jeff, her wire-haired dachshund. However Clive couldn’t help but pick comedic legend, Joan Rivers, as Cally’s wonder of wonders after hearing the inspiring role Joan played in Cally's own journey into comedy. This episode was recorded live in Bridport, April 2024. **If you enjoyed listening to this podcast, please take the time to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen.

    77. Matt Goldich - LIVE!

    Today, Matt Goldich joins Clive for what is Matt’s first ever on-stage show in the UK. The comedian tells Clive all about his career writing for some of America’s biggest talk shows and how his first day working with David Letterman didn’t quite go as he expected. Plus, he falls out with Clive about whether nectarines are better than peaches. Maybe it’s a generational thing… This episode was recorded live at the Edinburgh Fringe, August 2023. **If you enjoyed listening to this podcast, please take the time to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen.

    76. Glenn Moore - LIVE!

    Today’s episode is one of many firsts. Clive is joined on stage by the comedian and radio presenter Glenn Moore who explains why the first dvd he watched and the first roller coaster he wanted to go on are wonders of the world. We also discover that Glenn is the first person to have almost auditioned to play Harry Potter to appear on the show. Spoiler alert: He didn’t get the part… This episode was recorded live at the Edinburgh Fringe, August 2023. **If you enjoyed listening to this podcast, please take the time to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen.

    75. Olga Koch - LIVE!

    Today's guest has a degree in computer science. However, in their words "technology is the worst thing in the world". It's the comedian Olga Koch. With technology ruled out, Olga's wonders are instead a love letter to the Edinburgh Fringe. She joins Clive on stage to discuss her seven favourite things from Edinburgh, including... A toilet. This episode was recorded live at the Edinburgh Fringe, August 2023. **If you enjoyed listening to this podcast, please take the time to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen.
