The David Eagle Podcast returns with a bumper bunker-based Herbal Tea Of The Week, as we visit a tea house in Slovakia, situated in a bomb shelter. Six teas from six different countries go to war, but which one will be triumphant. Plus we talk about various recent stand up comedy gigs, including playing to a room of screaming, crying babies, performing for the military, and a surprisingly harrowing experience in Coleshill, Birmingham. And we conclude matters with a lovely little Slovakian sounds...

Last weekend The Young'uns did a very mini Christmas tour and here is a compilation of clips from those gigs, in a podcast hilariously titled Merry Gigsmas.

We weren't planning on playing clips from our wedding on the podcast, primarily because we thought it would be boring for you: "I do" "I Will" "to have and to hold" etc etc. But then the wedding turned out to be a bit more exciting than anticipated. Listen to find out why.

This week's The David Eagle Podcast is all over the place, in both senses of the phrase. I return from the Edinburgh Fringe Festival having met some interesting characters including a chatty undertaker and a teenager in the woods with a rather confusing proposition. I have a near-death experience in Loughborough, cause chaos in a swimming pool in Sheffield, and Herbal Tea Of The week comes live from Tea Sutra Teahouse in Newcastle. IN Cassette Roulette we meet Mr Pie, and Ellie learns some harsh...

It's quite a quiz-heavy podcast this week. Test your 90s music knowledge, are you more intelligent than the average listener to a late night Teesside radio quiz show? And can you deduce the film that I am recreating with my incredible acting skills? Other questions included in this week's podcast: why is there a Norwegian architect in my bed? Are there any teenagers called Nigel? And have you ever made love in a swimming pool? There's more genital talk courtesy of Ellie Skinner's Weekly Animal P...

This is a must-listen for budding songwriters, or even established songwriters looking to up their game.

David has an awkward pistachio nut based incident with comedian Tom wrigglesworth. We receive a video from a listener featuring some rather odd night-time noises which may or may not be inspired by my anecdote on last week's podcast about the time I accidentally made a sex tape. Plus more odd spam emails and a new exciting feature with a new exciting jingle.

Featuring Boney M news, a very moving tribute to John Challis. A triplet of teas culminates our Herbal Tea Of The Week series, but only one tea can be crowned king of the cold brews.

At 11pm on Saturday 31st July I was turfed out onto the street by Britannia Sachas Hotel in Manchester, despite having booked and paid for a room. They had sold my room on to someone else at a higher cost. Last week I devised a plan to gain my revenge on Britannia Hotels. I wrote a song about them, contacted the newspapers, sent emails, Facebook invites and tweets to fellow folk singers and comedians in the Manchester area. The idea was for us all to flash mob the hotel with my song. Hundreds of...

More tales from being on the road doing stand up comedy. Last week's adventure was nearly being beaten up outside a rough Kent pub. This week I am unexpectedly turfed out onto the rainy streets of Manchester late at night. IN complete contrast to that, we celebrate the return of our ability to once again smell and taste by sampling and reviewing a herbal tea. We have yet another Arch Bishop Of Canterbury story, and there's my most personally embarrassing Cassette Roulette yet.

This week I did my most surreal stand up gig by far, and fortunately for you I recorded it. So press play and join me in a rough rowdy pub in Kent for the "highlights", one of which being a bloke threatening to kick the shit out of me.

Covid-based isolation isn't enough to keep me and Ellie from recording a podcast. We've miced up separate parts of the house to talk some more about testicles and to bring you your favourite features, Cassette Roulette and Spammer Time, but not Herbal Tea Of The Week because we can't smell or taste anything. This week's guest is comedian and taxi driver Trevor Bickles who recounts three of his most memorable taxi journeys, and you'll never guess who he's had in the back of his cab.

The bad news is I've got Covid so I've had to cancel all my festivals and gigs until the 24th July. The good news is that you are still allowed contact with me through the medium of podcast.

Back in the studio this week after a week of stand up comedy gigs, including a rather odd one in Liverpool where I had an altercation with five drunk loud-mouthed girls. The story of that, plus incongruous radio adverts; there's a bit of slapstick in a cupboard, epic flailing mouth trumpet solos, and the return of an old faithful feature with a bit of a twist.
