LISTEN UP BISCUITS! Comedian, writer, actor, podcaster, and Robbie Knox lookalike Joe Wilkinson is making his debut on Happy Hour! With Alfie being a huge Chatabiscuit, we of course asked Joe all about his podcast with David Earl. Despite Joe's chaotic and expensive stunts, he's somehow managed to keep his job as a regular on '8 Out Of 10 Cats' - he shares the only 2 stunts in 12 years that the studio has turned down, and why!  Joe has acted in 'Derek' and 'After Life' and shares exactly how the roles came about, why he didn't turn up on his first day shooting, and what it's like to work with Ricky Gervais. Plus getting mixed up with his lookalike Robbie Knox, how his childhood hobby nearly killed people, and we also play a game of "fill in the blank” with Joe's hilarious old tweets.
