The Socially Distant Sports Bar

ED — PART 1TitleThe Hackney Half LIVEDescriptionWelcome 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.ClipsMike: F’ing Hockeyhttps://www.instagram.com/reel/DOn1UyMjXf0/?igsh=OXZpMXkxd29pc2VpElis: Goosehttps://www.instagram.com/reel/DKcazlzoWFo/?igsh=MnYzbXVrMWI2M3ZwCharlie: Ski Sunday themehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOEO_fgG3-IThe second half of the show is called The Exeter CEOs LIVE and will be out on Friday.If you want even more, subscribe to Distant Pod Bonus Club on Apple Podcasts.
