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.
