Vix Leyton: Chief Petty Officer (WIP)

What do 50 Cent, elephants, Lord Buckethead and the wife of the man who definitely did not buy adult films at the hotel have in common? You’ll find out!

Chief Petty Officer is a sharp, visually driven comedy lecture about history’s smallest grudges and the moment they go too far. From imperial overreach to pop culture beefs, stand-up comedian and consumer champion Vix Leyton dissects petty acts that accidentally changed the world, plotting them on an ambitious scientific framework to determine who stopped at the peak – and who disastrously doubled down. Smart, structured nonsense with bite, insight and a whole lot of laughs. Vix is serious about pettiness, and she has a lot of views to share.

Perfect for a BBC Radio 4-leaning brain, history lovers, anyone who has ever briefly considered placing Lego in someone’s shoe, and 50 Cent – he’ll love this.

Leslie Ewing-Burgesse: Work in Progress

Leslie Ewing-Burgesse has had the same email address since she was a teenager. But now there’s someone else who seems to genuinely believe her email address is their own. Leslie would love to let them know of their mistake — she just wants to help! she’s stressed about the fact they won’t be able to get into any of their online accounts! But, sadly, any attempts to contact them would inevitably lead back to her, so she doesn’t know what to do.

So… she’s started an investigation.
