As the Release The Clowns comedy sketch podcast hits the 10,000 downloads per episode mark, we head to Liars Anonymous via the King's Fringe Theatre costume department. On the way we meet the unfunniest men in comedy, Edwardian ladies with a serious case of moustache envy and a bunch of *rseholes. Then we've just got time for tea - but woe betide you if you don't offer to make it for your colleagues!

It's Episode 22 of THE comedy sketch podcast. If you love sequins and gimp masks, easily baffled news reporters, romantic dates with hunky Russians and a quarter pound of what you fancy from the cornershop, then this week's titanic episode of Release The Clowns should be right up your alley... although we can't guarantee the appearance of Leonardo di Caprio, Kate Winslet or the French Canadian musical stylings of whatsherface. Sorry.

It's an artistic extravaganza in our comedy sketch podcast this week!

It's not often that a comedy sketch podcast tackles major questions of existence, but that's what we're gonna do! This week, we're asking: Why did the chicken cross the road? Can you get off an assault charge because you had your fingers crossed at the time? And what won't Bono do for charity? Prepare for enlightenment!

Episode 11 of Alaska's favourite comedy sketch podcast is a show of epic proportions, with a grand sweep across history only matched by Doctor Zhivago or Ben Hur. Crammed with historical figures such as Alfred The Great, Dracula and Kevin (from the estate agency), it's a cracked window into the past. Whether it's a past that actually happened, or whether this is all fake news, nobody knows. It's like the Dead Sea Scrolls, only in mp3 format and with no religious significance whatsoever... otherwise, literally exactly like them.

The tenth episode of our comedy sketch podcast displays a more mature attitude to life. That's why we've stuffed it with gnomes, slugs, wacked-out poets, monkeys and a couple of Jehovah's Witnesses. So give 'dry' January the kick up the butt it deserves with a double shot of fun. And while you're at it, don't forget to spread the love by telling people you know all about it. Telepathy isn't enough, you've got to say it out loud.

The Release The Clowns ethos has always been 'Inform, educate and entertain'. It's what makes ours the most downloaded comedy sketch podcast in the whole of South London. This week we take you from outer space to the high Renaissance via the schoolyard and a dating website - maybe we should add 'and mildly confuse' to our ethos?

Ah yes, the difficult 8th episode... It has all the raw fury of the early years, but with the sort of complex layers that come with maturity. It's a heady melange of everything that made this comedy sketch podcast great. With some fart noises thrown in. 4 stars.

Merry Christmas everybody! And to get you Ho-Ho-Hoing, the Release The Clowns Christmas Special is here.

Featuring exasperated elves, free jazz, military manoeuvres, top turkey tips and what happens when a child is born. It's better than sprouts, socks, the Queen's speech, fat men in chimneys, family arguments, Christmas pudding fires, waiting for the pubs to open and unsolicited partridges in pear trees.

Release The Clowns Episode 4: A New Hope. It is a period of civil war... in one sketch, but not in any of the others. Evil is afoot on the Orient Express, but that's hardly a rebellion. Yes, the Star Wars metaphor really didn't stretch far far away... But that aside, here's the latest episode of our comedy sketch podcast! We hope you enjoy it and, as ever, if you do, please tell the world! If you want to make a placard and stand in your town centre with it, that's fine by us.
