443 - The Theft of The Scream

Recorded live at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, and in front of one of the wildest and hottest live audiences we've ever had, Jess tells us the tale of a rather unlikely art thief.

This is a comedy/history podcast, the report begins at approximately 09:50 (though as always, we go off on tangents throughout the report).
