Episode 28 - Talking about Comedy with Luke from Luke’s English Podcast

I talk to Luke from Luke’s English Podcast – one of the longest-running ESL podcasts – about one of our favourite topics: comedy. We discuss our favourite British sitcoms and comedians. We also look at how you can improve your communication skills by “keeping things light” and even being weird and surreal. And you also get to hear at least three pirate jokes (and two cheese jokes, too). List of shows and comedians mentioned in this episode: Alan Partridge (also referred to as simply “Partridge”) Monty Python (also referred to as “The Pythons”) The Mighty Boosh The Young Ones The Goon Show The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band The Office Tintin Asterix Hancock’s Half Hour Gimme Gimme Gimme Keeping Up Appearances Only Fools and Horses Blackadder Fawlty Towers One Foot in the Grave The Thick of It Peep Show Phoenix Nights The Day Today Brass Eye Peter Cook and Dudley Moore Have I Got News for You Tommy Cooper Book: The Naked Jape by Jimmy Carr and Lucy Greeves
