The No Funny Business Podcast goes behind the scenes of the 2026 Grand Final of So You Think You’re Funny? speaking to this year’s winner Joshua Khoury moments after he was crowned champion as well as Nina Conti, our guest host, and 2025 winner Madeleine Brettingham a year after her final.
Competition founder, Karen Koren, and her Gilded Balloon Co-Artistic Director (and daughter) Katy give some background on the competition which has been running for 39 years with winners and finalists including Lee Mack, Aisling Bea, Sarah Millican, Romesh Ranganathan, Josh Widdicombe, Peter Kay and Maisie Adam.
Madeleine Brettingham talks about the epiphany she had to try stand-up for the first time after 20 years of writing and how she’s transitioned from So You Think You’re Funny? Champion to a highly-acclaimed sell-out Fringe debut in just a year.
