Rich Fulcher's TalkBox

Chloe Petts joins Rich Fulcher for a lovely chat about comedy, growing up, touring and finding your own voice.

Currently appearing on Taskmaster, Chloe is about to head out on tour with Call Me By My Surname, so naturally Rich wants to know how they prepare for taking a new show on the road.

They talk about growing up in Kent, moving to London, childhood obsessions, Chloe's mainstream comedy influences, the substitute teacher who encouraged them to try stand-up, and how their approach to writing shows has evolved over the years.
Plus a super important question of what Chloe would have been called if they could have chosen their own name.
A lovely chat between two new friends.

Rich Fulcher is joined by the The Gilbert Twins for a very silly conversation about growing up together, moving to London and accidentally becoming internet famous.

In the episode they get into:
Growing up in the Canadian suburbs
Moving to the UK to study acting
Initially trying to hide the fact that they were twins
Moving back to Canada in COVID which led them to start making TikToks
Their first viral video which gained them 17,000 followers overnight.
Why the pair ended up going to COUPLES THERAPY together
How the bizarre experience became the inspiration for their first solo show

Rich also gets into their British-Canadian upbringing, strange Canadian expressions like "chesterfield", cheesy musical theatre, West Side Story, Tom Sawyer and plenty more.
It's a properly fun one.
