Comedy power couple Rachel Parris & Marcus Brigstocke launch brand-new podcast How Was It For You? out 10th April

Launching on Wednesday 10th April, How Was It For You? is the new weekly podcast from comedy power couple Rachel Parris and Marcus Brigstocke.

 

Offering a peek into the joyful mess that ensues when two comedians live together, it’s the show where everything (yes everything) gets a review and a star rating out of 5 – from the bizarre to the inane to the heartfelt (think: ‘quality men’s socks from Uniqlo’, ‘seeing a play with over 800 school children’ or ‘Marcus’ dodgy budget haircuts’).

 

Amidst an influx of bought and paid for ‘influencers’ pretending they are offering impartial advice, Rachel and Marcus are here to turn so called ‘influencing’ inside out. Ultimately, How Was It For You? is an attempt to produce the ‘essential’ guide to modern living. The pair are here to review the things that really matter; from tinned fish to trips to the tip.

 

With Rachel and Marcus juggling gigs, radio, TV, a toddler, an obsession with cheese, Roy the chameleon, live improvised Jane Austen shows in the West End and two adult step kids, they are never short of things to give the ‘star treatment’ to. Listeners can also expect laughter, wild (unsubstantiated) opinions, bad accents (Rachel), surprisingly good impressions (Marcus) and 5/5 over-sharing.

 

Rachel and Marcus met while performing improv comedy together and have continued to perform together whilst married. On TV, they have appeared on Pointless Celebrities (and won!), on the Hit List on BBC 1, Jon and Lucy’s Odd Couples on Channel 4 and Meet The Richardson’s on Dave.

 

The podcast follows the couple’s viral ‘lockdown lipsyncs’ which reached global audiences and earned them appearances on everything from The Graham Norton Show to Good Morning America. Following the success of those videos, they launched their regular zoom gig, ’Tuesday Night Club’, which amassed a vast national following.

 

How Was It For You?  is the couple’s first podcast venture and will be available on all podcast providers, with new episodes released weekly.
