The Comedy Arcade
Vix Leyton
Part game show and part chat show. Your host, London Welsh comedian Vix Leyton, holds an ever-changing numbered list of 30 possible subjects - from everyday to current affairs - and invites three comics to compete to take the mic with stories, anecdotes, jokes or even songs, like a parlour game at the best fantasy dinner party you could ever imagine.
The game - fun.
The rules - highly convoluted.
The laughs - constant.
Guests to play the arcade so far have included Sara Barron, Sikisa, Tiernan Douieb, Thom Tuck, John-Luke Roberts, Esyllt Sears, Esther Manito, John Robertson, Leslie Ewing-Burgesse , Sooz Kempner, Shappi Korsandi, Lulu Popplewell, Joz Norris, Sam Rhodes, Grainne Maguire & Ilayda Arden

The first recorded episode of 2022. Tim Fitzhigham tells us about his best ever night out including - but not limited to - Sir Ian Mckellen and Denise Van Outen. Returning player Kelly Welles makes a fantastic case for why you should never leave her alone with an axe, and Rachel Creeger might have been there or it might have all been an elaborate illusion constructed by Derren Brown.

We Went To See A Live... Football Gig? - with Joz Norris, Thom Tuck & Grainne Maguire
The Comedy Arcade
10/30/20 • 50 min
Welsh comedian Vix Leyton invites Grainne Maguire, Thom Tuck and Joz Norris to compete for points earned through telling the best stories around themes randomly generated by a bingo ball.
In the slowest game on record, we establish that Thom will quit a job to play Monopoly, that it is surprisingly easy to set up an English Language College and why Grainne is the least competitive person in the world.
Find Thom on Instagram & Twitter
Find Grainne on Twitter & Instagram
Find Joz on Twitter & Instagram & on film
...and follow us on Twitter & Instagram to stay up to date with new episodes, sneak previews, behind the scenes and also to join the conversation. Tell us what you think of the episode!
Recorded at Spiritland studios, and edited by the amazing superpower, Emma Corsham.
The rules:
Guests can cheat the system through the use of 3 cheat cards:
New Balls - To veto the ball drawn
Double or Nothing - The chance to win double points if you are confident you will win the round, knowing that if you lose that they go to someone else
Fruit Machine - To be used just before the last round, the Fruit Machine card randomly reallocates the scores, so even if you're in last place, you could have the chance to come out on top with only one round left to play
