Before the Edison chart was published, I was asked to guess the top five. I guessed Off Menu and Sh**ged Married Annoyed – riotously funny, confident, slightly quirky podcasts hosted by comedians with a large and committed enough fanbase to fill and refill enormous venues.
Ed Gamble and James Acaster’s debut Off Menu tour this autumn is sold out; Chris and Rosie Ramsey, from Sh**ged Married Annoyed, filled London’s O2 in 2021. I should have also come up with That Peter Crouch Podcast, a football-based banter-and-insights show. It’s another laugh-out-loud affair, and its third Crouchfest will be at the 10,000 capacity Wembley Arena this November.
