Laura Smyth & Carmen Butcher

If you like your podcasts funny, unfiltered and a bit like eavesdropping on two best friends, this one’s for you. On this episode of Table for Four by Good Food, Joanna Page and Mathew Horne are joined by comedians Laura Smyth and Carmen Butcher for a lively, free-flowing conversation over cocktails and a seriously good spread. What starts with overnight oats and airport pints quickly turns into stories of stand-up beginnings, disastrous gigs, dodgy stomachs and the kind of friendship that’s built on voice notes, laughter and saying “I love you” at the end of every ramble. There’s real heart here too, from Laura’s journey into comedy to the perspective that comes with it, all balanced with the sort of chat that never takes itself too seriously. It’s loose, honest and very funny. Settle in and join them at the table.

If you like your podcasts funny, unfiltered and a bit like eavesdropping on two best friends, this one’s for you.

On this episode of Table for Four by Good Food, Joanna Page and Mathew Horne are joined by comedians Laura Smyth and Carmen Butcher for a lively, free-flowing conversation over cocktails and a seriously good spread. What starts with overnight oats and airport pints quickly turns into stories of stand-up beginnings, disastrous gigs, dodgy stomachs and the kind of friendship that’s built on voice notes, laughter and saying “I love you” at the end of every ramble.

There’s real heart here too, from Laura’s journey into comedy to the perspective that comes with it, all balanced with the sort of chat that never takes itself too seriously.

It’s loose, honest and very funny. Settle in and join them at the table.
