Editor Joe loves Finsbury park, and so does this week’s guest, comedian Vittorio Angelone. The Northern Irish stand-up and podcaster takes us on a twilight journey through north-east London, discussing sandwiches, Guinness fetishism, bad comedy and good wigs on the way. You can catch Vittorio all through 2026, touring his new special You Can’t Say Nothing Anymore (which sold out at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe) right across the UK. Check out dates and get tickets on his website. You can also stay abreast of Vittorio’s future plans on Instagram.
