Please Tell Me A Storyinactive

Publisher |: Somethin' Else,; Sony Music Entertainment

Media Type |: audio

Podknife tags |: Comedy,; Improv

Categories Via RSS |: Comedy,; Improv

Omid tells his story to Felicity. Felicity tells Omid’s story to Mark, then Mark to Nabil, Nabil to Helen and Helen to Megan… each time with hilarious misrememberings, improvisations, stumbles, fumbles and laughs.

Six comedians have a funny story to tell. Can they pass the story along the chain without completely twisting the tale?

But this isn’t like the game you play at school where you only whisper short sentences. Each episode is a complete, beautifully written story, with each retelling getting funnier (and weirder!) as it passes on.

In season 2 of Please Tell Me A Story, Omid Djalili is joined by Felicity Ward, Mark Thomas, Nabil Abdulrashid, Helen Bauer, and Megan Jayne Crabbe.

It's the game where story telling goes horribly wrong…

Omid Djalili and friends are back with another season of Please Tell Me A Story, the game where storytelling goes wrong.

This time round, Omid is joined by Felicity Ward, Mark Thomas, Nabil Abdulrashid, Helen Bauer, and Megan Jayne Crabbe.

Nabil takes to the big blue storytelling chair! As we cross the mid-way point of the series, he tells a North Nigerian story full of wisdom, morals, and lessons... but do those morals make it to the final telling? Hmmm...

Find out how Felicity's words nearly get her into some real trouble, how Helen and Mark got inventive with their own sound effects, and how Megan added her own murderous twist to the tale.

Helen Bauer is this week’s storyteller and she transports us back to a simpler time. We’re in primary school for Red Nose Day, the fun time where everyone gets to wear red. But a toilet accident means that Helen’s day doesn’t really go to plan. And things go from bad to worse on Paper Bag Princess Day… It's a story of highs and lows, poos and wees.

Listen to hear Felicity’s dubious impression of schoolgirl Helen, Mark’s improvised jazz soundtrack, and an increasingly angry Helen when she hears what happens to her story.

This time round, Omid is joined by Felicity Ward, Mark Thomas, Nabil Abdulrashid, Helen Bauer, and Megan Jayne Crabbe.

Megan Jayne Crabbe is in the big blue storytelling chair this time, taking us on a journey of seaside arcades, killer dance moves… and the dark side of the Spice Girls. It’s an episode that gives us Mark Thomas rocking out to Avril Lavigne, and Felicity Ward getting extremely passionate about 90s pop.

Find out who knows their Viva Forever from their Viva… never.

Omid Djalili and friends are back with another season of Please Tell Me A Story, the game where storytelling goes wrong.

This time round, Omid is joined by Felicity Ward, Mark Thomas, Nabil Abdulrashid, Helen Bauer, and Megan Jayne Crabbe.

Omid takes to the big blue storytelling chair to kick off the season, and recounts a tale from the set of Gladiator - did you know he was in that film? It involves a young Hans Zimmer, an overly familiar Oliver Reed, and a very confused Omid Djalili.

As the story gets passed along, find out what made Nabil cry with laughter, who Megan mistakes Oliver Reed for, and what all of this has to do with a doner kebab from Lewisham market.

Ever wondered why Tony Soprano’s therapist stuck with him? Why Fleabag is obsessed with sex or why Walter White is always in his underpants? ‘Shrink the Box’ is where actor comedian Ben Bailey Smith and psychotherapist Sasha Bates put their favourite fictional characters such as Shiv from Succession, Omar from the Wire and Ross from Friends on the couch to analyse why their behaviour causes them so much drama. Sasha and Ben explore why these characters make certain decisions, what would happen if they made different ones and what we can learn from their mistakes. The perfect combination of psychology, self-help and the best TV since the birth of the box-set.

Omid Djalili welcomes you to Please Tell Me A Story, the show where six funny people tell each other the same story over and over again, with hilarious consequences along the way. Our comedians must pass the original tale down the line from memory, resulting in many stumbles, fumbles, and laughs.

As the curtain comes down on the first season of Please Tell Me A Story, we take a look at some of the best bits so far. We’ve got all the best ‘breakdowns’, the dodgiest accents, and the most mangled stories, all in one place.

We’ll be back very soon, so keep your eyes and ears pealed for more Please Tell Me A Story!

Helen Bauer is our final storyteller of the season, and her tale brings the house down. It's 2007: James Blunt is topping the charts, skinny jeans are IN and it's Helen's high-school Prom night, complete with corsages, an awkward/erotic photoshoot and, of course, unrequited love.

Listen to hear the most disgusting dry humping sound you can imagine, to learn what a 'corsage' is, and to find out who is getting fingered in the Please Tell Me A Story season finale!

Kai Samra takes the reins this week, with a love story that will first warm your cockles, then spook them away. It’s the tale of a young man meeting his girlfriend’s parents for the first time, but their Isle of Wight-living, classical music-loving antics very quickly prove a barrier, and things don’t really go to plan.

As the story gets passed along, find out what made Sikisa cry with laughter, how Churchill the Dog weaselled his way into the story, and why Omid will be seen fanboying Kai at all of his future gigs.

Sikisa is in the chair with a murder mystery to rival Agatha Christie, Sherlock Holmes, and the writers of Midsomer Murders. Why do the characters miss their flight? Who are these dead bodies? And where did that Scottish detective come from? So many questions, and like all good thrillers, you’ll have to wait until the end to find out what really happens...

And as the story unravels in every retelling, find out why Seán Burke was accused of ‘censoring women’s voices’, and how Helen Bauer got stuck in her ‘mind palace’. Fasten your seatbelts, as this story is experiencing some turbulence...
