Jack Whitehall joins Romesh for a fast, funny and surprisingly candid chat that jumps from his early stand-up days and cringe-inducing “Danny Dyer” phase to his darkest acting role yet in Malice.

They also get into panel shows, parenting, their unexpectedly famous parents and why teenagers insist stand-up is “dead”. A Ranga Bee Production in partnership with Listen.
