About this listen

Please note: contains strong language and adult content.

The Special Relationship is a cross-continental sitcom, in which two idiot British comedians decide to 'crack America'. Unfortunately, they have very little idea about how to go about it - or even, when pushed, what it means. But that does nothing to dent their enthusiasm....

Featuring a host of comedy talent from both sides of the Atlantic, including Cecily Strong (Saturday Night Live), Fred Armisen (Portlandia), Lolly Adefope (Shrill), Sally Phillips (Veep), John Paul Reynolds (Search Party) and Jamie Demetriou (Stath Lets Flats).

The Special Relationship is written by and stars multi-award winning British comedy duo, Alex Owen and Ben Ashenden (aka 'The Pin').

So funny I could barely breathe. Just terrific. My husband and I listened to the whole series in one go on a drive to Durham. Wish there was a second series for the drive back! We need more Randall Bannister!

I hadn't heard of these two before and the format initially turned me off. I stuck with it and I'm glad I did. It's hilarious. Very quick style of humour and a good mix of comedy styles. Binged in one go. More please.

What a gem
