Russell Howard’s Five Brilliant Things24 Syys 2025

Joanna Page

How did Joanna Page nearly cock up her Gavin and Stacey audition? How did she end up following Kenneth Branagh around in secret? The stories, the stories! This delightful episode with Gavin and Stacey’s Joanna Page is a delight from cover to cover (yeah yeah, podcast/book/bad analogy get lost). Her Brilliant Things include her unhinged dog Daisy (the stories!), her Dad’s Prawn Salad and her refuge, a wonderful caravan. It’s a marvellous listen. Joanna’s written a book about her extraordinary life, and it’s called ‘Lush! From Swansea to Stacey and everything in between’. It’s full of Joanna’s brilliant stories told with wit and flair. Incredibly enjoyable and as we head to the winter months, maybe it would make a good present? Get one by following this link here. We recorded a second show with Joanna and if you’re even a little bit of a Dr Who fan, you cannot miss the extraordinary story Joanna tells about playing Queen Elizabeth in the special episode. The whole thing is just so traumatic. Check it out by following this link. patreon.com/RussellHoward Thanks for being with us in this nest of delights, hope you’ve had a nice snuggly warm time in here being all protected by the mother bird’s big comfy ass. But it’s now time for you to become the hero of your own story. Get out. Go on. Be free. FLY!
