Dom Joly (Part One)

This week Emily and Ray travel to Cheltenham for a walk with comedian, writer and broadcaster Dom Joly, joined by his two beautiful Labradors, Fitzgerald and Truman.

Dom chats to Emily about his extraordinary life, from growing up in Beirut (and attending school with a certain Osama Bin Laden), to briefly working as a diplomat before pivoting into comedy. That decision led to the creation of the hugely popular Trigger Happy TV, which introduced the world to the unforgettable man with the enormous mobile phone and became one of the most iconic comedy shows of its era.

Dom is currently celebrating 25 years of Trigger Happy TV with a brand new live show, packed with classic clips, behind-the-scenes stories and new material. The Trigger Happy TV Live - 25th Anniversary Tour kicks off in September and runs into next year. Tickets and details are available at https://domjoly.tv.

Alongside his comedy work, Dom has also become a highly respected travel writer and presenter, with a series of brilliant books documenting his adventures around the world.

Be warned, the language in this episode is fruitier than normal.
