EP.274 - HARRY ENFIELD

Adam talks with British comedian Harry Enfield about cringey behaviour as adolescents, coincidental similarities between their Dads, why Chrissie Hynde called Harry 'sperm of the devil', whether satire actually makes any difference, King Charles' reaction to TV comedy show The Windsors in which Harry played Charles and why Paul McCartney has seen Harry's genitals.

There's also a brief taste of Adam's new comedy series SUCCESSPOD - 2026 (Audible)

Conversation recorded face-to-face in London on 6 April, 2026
