The Rest Is Entertainment

Tuesday, 6 August 2024 - 43 minutes

Marvel superfans were shocked at the reveal that the next villain to star in the Avengers series would be played by none other than Robert Downey Jr.

Richard and Marina also chat about the impact of TikTok on stand up at Edinburgh Fringe Festival and how it has helped cause the death of comedy on television.
