Who remembers Spangles?

What happens when you cross a former stand-up, an IT data nerd, and a genuine comedy obsessive? You get Tony Dunn — and this is one of our best guests yet. Tony is the brain behind Comedy IQ, a subscription data platform giving promoters real intelligence on which acts are actually worth booking in 2025 — tracking social stats, podcast reach, touring history and more. If you've ever wondered how c...

Inspired by Cape Verde matching Spain on the pitch, the boys dive into the legendary moments w...

The World Cup is supposed to be the greatest show on earth. In reality, it has always involved a surprising amount of absolute rubbish. This week, we revisit the footballers’ records nobody asked for, England failing to qualify and forcing the country to pretend to support Scotland, sticker albums abandoned after two packets, and those cheap Woolies footballs that could be launched into orbit by t...

Scott and Pablo are back, and this week they've made a solemn vow: fewer swears, more sensitive listeners. That lasts about six minutes. Between debating whether "bollocks" counts if it was used in the Sex Pistols' defence at the Old Bailey, and coining the term "ring cheese" (don't ask — actually, do ask, it's brilliant), the lads somehow manage to make a new leaf feel entirely pointless. There's...

This week we're recording live from the dressing room of the iconic Britannia Pier in Great Yarmouth, and we've got a very special guest — Shea, the man behind the bookings at one of the UK's most beloved seaside venues. We chat about what it's like to programme a 1,300-seat pier theatre, the acts that refuse to die (think Jim Davidson, Roy Chubby Brown, Joe Pasquale and Mick Miller), and the show...

World exclusive. We sat down with Matt Price to talk about a stand-up special that looks like it’s on the verge of collapse — bad lighting, chaotic crowd, and a man who probably shouldn’t be anywhere near the tech. And somehow… it works. See here.https://youtu.be/iiZnljvMpAc?si=bR8H_6n7IilsDlyB We get into chaos vs control, why polished specials might be missing the point, and whether this kind of...

This week we’re diving into the moments where laughing will get you judged, cancelled, or quietly asked to leave. From real-life disasters to the kind of situations where you really shouldn’t laugh (but absolutely do), we count down our Top 5 inappropriate laughs. We also get into the rise of shows like Last One Laughing UK – why watching comedians try not to laugh is so addictive, and what it say...

Episode 77 of Who Remembers Spangles? heads back to the kind of pub that would never survive today… This week’s Top 5: Retro Pub No-Nos 🍺 From jukebox abusers to bar blockers and some seriously questionable Saturday lunchtime behaviour — it’s a proper trip back to when pubs were chaos, smoky, and completely unregulated. You’ll definitely recognise a few of these… and there’s a fair chance you wer...

This week we count down the Top 5 audience crimes against comedy — the things that make comedians groan and promoters quietly lose the will to live. From late arrivals and mid-set chatter to spectacularly badly timed heckling, we’ve seen it all. Paul also reveals the one audience behaviour that drives promoters absolutely mad during the interval. Plus: kebab shop hacks, carvery hacks, and more sto...

The stage might be polished. The green room rarely is. Episode 75 slips backstage and takes a look at the unspoken rules of comedy’s most volatile space. The power plays. The awkward energy. The desperate attempts to “just have a quick word”. The stories that aren’t really stories. There’s the comic who vanishes minutes before they’re due on. The surprise entourage that no one agreed to. The “netw...

Episode 74 – Do Dogs Shit Due North? Science. SatNavs. Labradors. We’re getting dangerously close to the truth this week as we investigate whether dogs genuinely line themselves up with the Earth’s magnetic field before dropping the kids off. Yes, really. Elsewhere, we’re demanding answers from AI after ChatGPT’s image generator once again turns Paul into Russ Abbott and Scott into Wilfred Brambel...

There is absolutely no talk about the Beckhams in this episode. None. Spurred on by Arsenal once again finding an impressive new way to bottle it, this episode of Who Remembers Spangles? turns to elite-level self-sabotage with a Top 5 titled: Five Times Someone Had It All… and Completely Fecked It Up. The list ranges from reality-TV certainties and Hollywood royalty to comedy giants and a jeweller...

This week on Who Remembers Spangles? we spiral cheerfully through Britain’s favourite pastimes: overreaction, nostalgia, and finding comfort in things that cost £7.99. There’s talk of snap political certainty, knee-jerk opinions, and why everyone is always absolutely sure about everything. That leads neatly into a nostalgic Top 5 Times Everyone Got Hysterical About Some Bullshit — including the Ic...

This week’s episode begins in the most glamorous of settings: Scott broadcasting from a Premier Inn lounge in Sunderland , asking the big questions life throws at a man surrounded by patterned carpet and unlimited coffee refills. From there, it’s straight into a Top 5 of celebrity deaths that genuinely stopped us in our tracks — from outright murder, to cultural immortals we all foolishly assumed...

Which comedian, who is now a household name, didn't pay their fuel contributions in shared car journeys?! Scott’s back this week after going suspiciously AWOL last episode — complete with a dubious sick note scrutinised by Spangles HR. Surprising snow falls and New  Year’s resolutions immediately start to fade like a politicians promise. Whilst leaning into comedy industry gossip this we...

Half Basset. Half Bellend. We ring Ross mid-episode. He rings back while taking down the Christmas decorations. Scott is in a state of flibbbertigibbertry....probably.  There’s a run-in down the pub involving Dolly wearing her half-Basset half-bellend lead sleeve, Pablo getting firmly judged at by a woman who’s convinced he’s humiliating her.  Should Iggy Pop sit before Meat Loaf in the...

This week on Who Remembers Spangles? we’re counting down the Top 5 Weirdly-Formed Bands — the acts that came together for reasons so bizarre you couldn’t make them up. Cartoon supergroups created out of spite, parody pop duos who accidentally became massive, bands born from 9/11 trauma, art-school whims, and teens forming a group purely to blag their way into bars. Plus: how Johnny Marr joined Mod...
