Jeeves and Wooster : Carry on Jeeves

Wavemaker Cards

Carry on, Jeeves

By P.G. Wodehouse, Performed by Iain Wood

Produced by Wavemaker Cards Audio

Step into the effortlessly witty world of Bertie Wooster and his incomparable valet, Jeeves, in this sparkling collection of ten classic short stories. First published in 1925, Carry On, Jeeves introduces listeners to one of literature’s most beloved comedic duos at the very beginning of their partnership.

From the bustle of New York to the tranquility of the English countryside, Bertie’s well‑intentioned but often disastrous attempts to assist friends with romantic entanglements, family dramas, and financial scrapes set the stage for Jeeves’ trademark brilliance. With impeccable timing, subtle manipulation, and unflappable calm, Jeeves untangles each predicament with the finesse only a true gentleman’s gentleman can muster.

This podcast brings Wodehouse’s sparkling prose to life through the warm, engaging narration of Iain Wood, whose performance captures every ounce of charm, humour, and character nuance. Whether you’re a longtime Wodehouse devotee or discovering Jeeves and Wooster for the first time, this edition offers a delightful listening experience that feels both timeless and fresh.

Perfect for fans of British humour, classic literature, and anyone in need of a clever escape.

A Jolly Introduction
Armed with amateur dramatics training (which my drama teacher once described as “spirited, if nothing else”), a media production degree from the era when editing involved actual scissors, and a voice that suggests I was raised in a home where one could be grounded for mispronouncing “scone,” I find myself oddly well‑suited to narrating Jeeves and Wooster. My mother—who treated Hyacinth Bucket not as a sitcom character but as a personal mentor—ensured I grew up sounding like I’d swallowed a silver spoon and then apologised profusely for the inconvenience. Combine that with my lifelong talent for getting into mild social scrapes and you have someone practically engineered to guide listeners through Bertie’s misadventures, while wishing I had my own Jeeves to keep me from making a hash of things.
