Episode 84: Mike Pigskin

Hey everyone!

If you’re in London on April 16, come down and check out Progress—our work-in-progress comedy night where we test out our material, push boundaries, and maybe even accidentally say something profound. Or just very stupid. Either way, it’ll be funny.

I’ll be on stage alongside some brilliant comedians: Mike (today's guest), Karyna (Episode 52) and Nik (Episode 56), and it’s the perfect chance to see jokes in their raw, unfiltered form before they make it to bigger shows.

Come have a laugh, grab a drink, and be part of the process! See you there.

In this episode, I’m joined by Mike Pigskin, a London-based stand-up and character performer hailing from Preston. Known for his storytelling, dark humor, deadpan delivery, self-deprecating jokes, and romantic undertones, Mike has made a notable impact on the comedy scene.

Mike has performed at various venues, including Angel Comedy at the Camden Head in London. His performances showcase his unique comedic style, blending sharp wit with engaging narratives.

In this episode, we take a more humorous approach than usual, delving into potentially triggering subjects, including discussions about Gary Glitter’s crimes, among other controversial topics. We aim to address these sensitive issues through the lens of comedy, finding humor in the darkest of places.
