Back to Dunbracken

Improv Comedy Fiction

Season 3

Award Nominated Crude Ideas | Ep 66

WE'RE BACK! FOR ONE EPISODE (and then some more episodes after that) ONLY (and then further episodes after that only, but it'll be on a random, sporadic schedule, maybe monthly, as I have a lot of content recorded, just no time to edit)!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Also We've been nominated for several awards at the Golden Lobes 2026! Yay! Dunbracken was nominated for Best Artwork (g'wan little sheep), Best Blooper (the opening scene to episode 60, about the kid's and the bunker, if you're curious), and BEST LIVE SHOW! Which is a pretty big and humbling experience. The Bad Articles (which I produce alongside many of the Dunbracken cast) also got 4 nominations, including Best New Show, which is wild! You can vote for Dunbracken & The Bad Articles in the Listener's Award here! Please do so, I'm doing a really stupid round trip from America to London to go to the award ceremony, and although I don't expect to win anything, it would be mad if we actually did. Anyway, have a nice day. Enjoy Dunbracken. This episode featured:
