Welcome the Socially Distant Sports Bar with Elis James, Mike Bubbins and Steff Garrero.

This is the second half of our live show from the Hackney Empire on Wednesday 8th April, with special guest Charlie Baker.

Charlie is a comedian, actor, singer and sports fan who brings exactly the sort of live-wire energy this podcast needs when it is standing on a stage, looking out at a crowd of dozens, and pretending not to notice the empty seats.

Have a listen to the first half, The Hackney Half LIVE, before you listen to this one.

ED — PART 1
Title
The Hackney Half LIVE

Description
Welcome to Part 1 of this week’s Socially Distant Sports Bar with Elis James, Mike Bubbins and Steff Garrero.
This is the first half of our live show from the Hackney Empire on Wednesday 8th April, recorded in front of a crowd of some people.

Our very special guest was the brilliant Charlie Baker — comedian, actor, singer, sports obsessive and one of the funniest live performers around. Charlie joins the boys on stage for a night of clips, stories, songs, sport and the kind of chaos that can only happen when this podcast is allowed inside a proper theatre.

Was the Hackney Empire completely full? No. Was it spiritually full? Absolutely. Was the half that turned up better than the half that didn’t? Without question.
