Daliso Chaponda

Daliso Chaponda, a stand-up comedian and Britain's Got Talent finalist, shares lively stories and comic takes. He talks about epic Bible smuggling tales, Lake Malawi's explosive cichlid diversity, a quirky 1949 British spacesuit design, and Freddie Mercury's Scrabble habits. Short, funny, and packed with strange historical and scientific curiosities.

Bella Hull, journalist and podcaster, offers sharp topical takes. Daliso Chaponda, observational comedian, delivers political and absurdist gags. Mark Steel, stand-up satirist, skewers privilege and policy. They riff on a royal arrest and its comedic fallout. They lampoon a government U‑turn and Nigel Farage’s proposed shadow cabinet. Robots, aliens and a costly Parliament restoration get surreal comedic treatment.

Hugo Rifkind, witty political columnist; Kiri Pritchard-McLean, sharp stand-up comic; Daliso Chaponda, satirical observational comedian. They spar over Labour infighting and Andy Burnham’s bid. They react to Suella Braverman’s jump to Reform and what that means for party politics. They also debate young people drinking less and whether cutting pub business rates will save Britain’s pubs.

They also talk about the mixed feelings on HS2 cancellation, a speech by an unelected Prime Minister, the Tory slogan, immigration rhetoric, and the algae problem in Lock-nays with humorous commentary.
