From Gerbil maternity wards to Edwardian maladies, this show gathers the very best of our health sketches and puts them in a bed for you to visit. They say laughter is the best medicine... let's see if they're right.

Dog-obsessed babysitters, Mafia sheep, God breaking Adam's ribs, over-zealous policemen, stupidly wealthy gym bunnies and interns taking over the world... it's just another normal, humdrum week at ClownsHQ.
And if you've got a mo', we'd love it if you could go to www.podcastawards.com and vote for us in the Comedy and People's Choice Award categories. That way we can share the silliness with even more people. Thanks!

This week we're overrun with action hero seagulls, Aztec PR teams trying to spin ritual sacrifice, kids demanding orange crayons, disgruntled office workers and elderly sleuths trying to explain their theories. Rhyme and reason? Overrated!

It's a second helping of Christmas with an extra dollop of New Year as we answer the BIG questions: What do you get for someone who has everything? Is Dim Towelling's tortoise a ghost? Can we have jelly AND ice cream? And is Donald Trump The Jabberwocky?

This week we invited film legend Brian De Palma to direct our comedy sketch podcast and boy, what a show we've got! We wrap up warm for a polar expedition, undergo a medical 'procedure', pay our respects to a deceased kleptomaniac, invade other people's personal space, get away with murder and have a prostate exam. Typical week, really...

In this week's delicious comedy sketch podcast, we discover that the first casualty of war is hair; that you don't cross the Hare Krishnas; that beekeepers need exercise too; that there are few things worse than ending up in Runcorn and that even the Lord of Darkness should be careful what he wishes for.

Get ready for a historical comedy sketch bonanza! It's all our favourite historical Release The Clowns sketches in one place. That's right, we've opened up our archives in the hope that we may educate, illuminate, elucidate and inform. From Medieval emojis to off-key Hieroglyphics, from the humble Tommy to the valiant Suffragette, from the darkest hours to the dazzling genius of Leonardo and Freud, we capture the grand sweep of human development, and filter it through the prism of peak UK sketch silliness.

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!
