CW: This episode includes discussions of suicide,
addiction, and pornography. If these topics may be triggering,
please listen with care and reach out for support if
needed.

This week’s guest is actor, writer, and one of the most familiar
faces in British comedy—Marcus Brigstocke. You’ve probably seen
him cracking jokes on QI, Mock the Week, Have I Got News for You
or Live At The Apollo.

Marcus credits dyslexia for his “Comic Super Brain”. But it’s not
all laughs—in a raw conversation, Marcus talks about his
struggles with alcohol, drugs, and, for the first time, porn
addiction. He also shares the journey of overcoming shame after
infidelity in his past marriage. This candid conversation is a
powerful look at neurodivergence, addiction, and personal growth.
