This episodes guests are Comedian and Author Laura Lexx and Dr. Oliver Double, Reader in Comic and Popular Performance at the University of Kent.

We talk about their new YouTube show and podcast "The Comedy Bureau" described as "set in afictional-but-familiar academic department within UNI - The University of Niche Interests.This dusty, underfunded - yet somehow still operating - department is staffed by two real-lifecharacters from opposite ends of the comedy world: full-time performer Lexx, and renownedcomedy scholar Double, once dubbed by Stewart Lee as 'the Charles Darwin of alternativecomedy'."

We talk about dissecting comedy, how the show came about and the various areas around promoting a new show from Social Media clips through to YouTube thumbnails.
