EP26 | Metroland Comedy | Radgie Grandas and Handbrake Turns | Local Heroes Podcast

This week Chris and Dan sit down with Jack Robertson and Caden Elliot, the chaotic minds behind Metroland Comedy, a sketch show web series that blends mockumentary mayhem with cinematic storytelling. They chat about handbrake turns, the roots of Caden’s obsession with tinned tomatoes, and bonding over labelling EVERYTHING, during the formative days of Metroland.

Jack, Caden and the Metroland collective are on a mission to revive sketch comedy,  bringing it back with North East authenticity, energy and rawness. Their recent sell-out show at Live Theatre proved there’s still a hunger for sharp, leftfield, and place-based comedy.

Metroland is a celebration of the North East’s unique comedic tradition. It’s sharp, self-deprecating, unapologetic, and built on a tradition of laughing through whatever life throws your way.

Expect anarchy. Expect gut laughter. Expect proper nonsense.
