The Socially Distant Sports Bar

ED — PART 1
Title
The Hackney Half LIVE

Description
Welcome to Part 1 of this week’s Socially Distant Sports Bar with Elis James, Mike Bubbins and Steff Garrero.
This is the first half of our live show from the Hackney Empire on Wednesday 8th April, recorded in front of a crowd of some people.

Our very special guest was the brilliant Charlie Baker — comedian, actor, singer, sports obsessive and one of the funniest live performers around. Charlie joins the boys on stage for a night of clips, stories, songs, sport and the kind of chaos that can only happen when this podcast is allowed inside a proper theatre.

Was the Hackney Empire completely full? No. Was it spiritually full? Absolutely. Was the half that turned up better than the half that didn’t? Without question.

Welcome to Wednesday’s Socially Distant Sports Bar with Elis James, Mike Bubbins and Steff Garrero.
You'll know Elis from "Elis & John" and Mike from his TV show "Mammoth"

This week, Elis brings in Roy Keane on relationship issues, Mike has Kevin Sinfield, and Steff has found Scotland fans at the baseball.

There is emotional intelligence from unexpected places, sporting greatness, travelling supporters, and the usual attempt to keep a sports podcast somewhere near the subject of sport.
