Rob's in the wrong as usual and he shares way too much within the first minute.

Rob making a girl cry on the train, and looking like Tony Hills from Eastenders (pictured) amongst other things.
There's more gold from Rob's dad and Nick's Uncle, and we announce the winner of the Matt Kirshen competition.
And the theme music's LIVE too!

Rob will be hosting the Funny Little Frog Music Quiz and Comedy Night at the Relentless Garage, 
Highbury Corner in London on Weds Jan 27th with special guest star Matt Kirshen himself.

Season 02 - Ep12 - with Tara Flynn

DoublingUp — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 15:59:00 GMT

    Hey Doublers,

    Astoundingly it’s the SECOND episode of the week – anything to put off doing the tax, eh.

    Nick’s away gigging in the Alps, lucky bastard, so Rob’s guest co-Doubler (does that work?)
    this week is Irish actress and comedian Tara Flynn, along with her sexy voiceover voice
    and total lack of sense of smell.

    (Check out her voice reel here)

    Tara tells us all about acting, voiceovers, and pissing during the New York Marathon while Rob concentrates on 
    pulling your pud to the (Generic brand) Caramel product advert, and tells us about Sexy Rexy's. 
    AND there's a special birthday message from Daniel O'Donnell

Welcome Doublers,

To the first part of Episode 07; Rob and Nick's road trip to the lovely Bristol.

It's not quite the Christmas Special, but Happy Sam X all the same.

Season 02 - Ep06 - Mike Gunn

DoublingUp — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 01:04:00 GMT

Hey Doublers,

Amazingly it's Episode six ... just one week after episode five.

Rob and Nick have barely crossed paths over the past two weeks, but somehow we've cobbled together a show.
Rob meets up with Mike Gunn in his hotel room in Birmingham, where Mike shares the frustrations of having your material stolen and used on TV. Mike has had a very interesting life, and tells us all about that.

Nick does manage to make an appearance, via the magic that is the phone line - sorry for the poor sound .... we're still learning!

The boys are working together in Bristol this week, so next week should be a "normal" show.

Season 02 - Ep05 - Steve Hughes

DoublingUp — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 01:35:00 GMT

Hey Doublers,

The unbroken run of Monday episodes continues with Episode 05.
Slightly different show this week. As Rob and Nick are both on the road, this week we've an extended interview that we recorded with Australian comedian Steve Hughes (from Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow). Steve's a fantastic comedian and gives us a great interview - although he didn't quite work out that the noise from banging the table with his leg would be picked up!
We've tried to fix it, but seeing as we don't really know what we're doing there, the sound is a bit shit.

Look out for Steve's tale of his worst road trip ever (which also happens to be Rob's). It all started out
as a lovely drive to Bude on a sunny summer day ....

Hey Doublers,

Welcome to Episode Four ... incredibly we've managed something new for four weeks on the run now.
This week (week! Not fortnight, or "18 month period") Rob and Nick have been talking about their various jobs in the world of radio.
There's a surprise phonecall (well, it was to us) from actor Lewis Macleod who provided many of the voices for Nick's Radio 4 show Bigipedia.
AND as if that wasn't enough, there's some previously unheard footage of Bigipedia. Our longest episode yet, probably
