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.

It gets a little bit political on this one as Ashish, dialled in from India, represents all men against a very saucy Sally Hodgkiss and explains why the TV is locked in a cover, whilst Pauline Eyre joins Vix in trying to keep order.
