This week I'm delighted to welcome Laura Lexx as my guest to discuss her first ever gig. Laura's recently appeared on Season 14 of Live at the Apollo on BBC and Comedy Central UK's Roast Battle and if you've not heard of her yet then here's the perfect introduction.
In this fun chat we explore her love for Boyzone and reliving the Now That's What I Call Music compilation albums before diving into how a background in improv lead to a career in stand-up comedy.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
