Pun Watch: The News Pun Quiz Game

Do you like puns? Do you particularity enjoy punny headlines in newspapers? Would you like to hear masses of them recited in quick succession? If so, you’ll probably enjoy Pun Watch. Pun Watch is a game show in which 3 or 4 funny people try to guess the correct pun-ish headline attached to various news stories from the week. Some of the puns are brilliant, some of them awful, and some are such tenuous stretches they’d make Lilia Stepanova wince (look her up). Either way, there’s lots of ‘em. Even if you don’t like puns, give Pun Watch a go: You’d be surprised how much better puns about an accidentally eaten French camel get when you hear 40 in a row.

*If you do, one day your parallel universe self who did see it will cross over just to tell you how good it was, and you'll be filled with regret. Don't let that parallel arsehole have all the fun.

Episode 208 of Punwatch, with guest comedian Matt Harvey and 5 other punsters. It was raucous.

This episode is entitled "Sleuth Studies Stadium’s Boiled Banana Bust". No one actually boils bananas, though. Sounds kinda gross.

Perth listeners: Matt's performing in YOUR city at Fringeworld this weekend and the next! "The Face Of Gentrification and Other Ideas" at Lazy Susan's Comedy Den at 3:30. Get tickets here: https://goo.gl/wT8nff

Matt also hosts Just For Funny, a podcast with comedians talking comedy and other stuff, which we were just on. Check it out!

Find Matt on Twitter @mattharveystuff!
