Global Pillage: Game Show

Hay Festival 2018, 
A comedy panel show podcast all about idiom, culture, customs and norms. What do the Japanese mean when they accuse someone of ‘having a cat on their head’? What do your friends make you do if you’re unmarried by 30 in Germany? What did the acronym NORWICH mean (the equivalent of sexting jargon) if sent between World War Two sweethearts? All the oddness of humanity is explored in this hilarious new show where two teams of comedians take on the hive mind of the audience. This show is about the diversity of human experience. Come with us as we pillage the globe for the strange but true ways of the human race.
