I had to sit in A&E for about eight hours because the healthcare in the UK is absolutely fucked, but I guess I deserved it.
In this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', comedian David Boyle brings his usual humour and raw honesty as he tackles another 'Fucked Up Friday'. Boyle starts by sharing his excitement and slight apprehension about hosting Irish comedian Richie Shehey, known for his character Kevin Murphy. The episode takes a hilarious turn as Boyle recalls his past escapades with Richie, including wild times in Edinburgh and Dublin.
The anticipation of Shehey's visit is mixed with Boyle's anxiety about preparing for an upcoming Bitcoin conference, where he'll be performing stand-up comedy. Boyle then shifts gears to the main event – a story from listener Chris Ashton. Chris recounts a chaotic weekend in London filled with reckless antics and heavy drinking. His tale involves jumping onto piles of bin bags, attempting to hurdle tube barriers, and a dangerous leap across electrified tram tracks. The result?
Two broken arms and a severely injured foot and ankle. Boyle's retelling of Chris's misadventures is both cringe-worthy and laugh-out-loud funny, capturing the essence of 'Fucked Up Friday'. Boyle's candid reflections on the pressures of stand-up comedy, the neurotic mindset it can induce, and the importance of speaking from the heart add depth to the episode. He shares his own experiences of bombing on stage and the constant need to refine his material.
Despite the chaos and comedy, there's a poignant message about the challenges of sobriety and finding balance in life. Tune in to hear Boyle's unique blend of humour, honesty, and heartfelt advice. Whether you're on your own journey to sobriety or just in need of a good laugh, this episode has something for everyone.
