The Gentleman's Review (Podcast)
- The Gentleman's Review (Podcast)
The Gentleman’s Review is a podcast produced by the stand-up comedian and writer Martin Wolfenden and his friends Andrew Wilson and Thomas Stringfellow. The title was inspired by magazines from the 1920s.
Content
The content is a mixed bag of news review, shaggy dog stories and digression. There are also musical interludes in which comic songs written by Wolfenden are played and sometimes comedy sketches are performed during the podcast. These interludes are designed to allow the men to refill their glasses with champagne.
Regular Themes
During the podcast the men drink Bollinger champagne which they have stated on many occasions is their preferred brand.
In every podcast Martin Wolfenden compliments gay playwright Jonathan Harvey and it has become traditional for Wilson to call Wolfenden a “pitiable kiss arse” whenever he does this.
Extremely offensive language is used during the broadcast and blasphemous views are often expressed.
Wolfenden will move a subject on before the other men have fully explored it which makes them cross and they complain.
