The comedy duo are taking their hit podcast Off Menu on tour. Who has been their strangest guest? Who do they most want on the show? And why has it become a phenomenon?
As a duo, though, their warmth and offbeat rapport powers, which began in December 2018 – rapper Scroobius Pip was the first guest. Acaster and Gamble have been friends since 2010 or 2011, depending who you ask, when they were both newish standups making their way around the comedy circuit. Gamble says they met at a club in London, though Acaster thinks it was in Cardiff. “That was a gig called Hahaha at the Hawaiian,” recalls Gamble, “and it was a Hawaiian-themed bar in Cardiff.
Whenever he visits somewhere new, Gamble plans where he’s going to eat after heavy research, and he inspired Acaster to do the same when he was on tour or working away from home. “It became a favourite subject to talk about, like, I’m working in Newcastle, what do you eat when you’re here?” says Acaster. Gamble says they’re both quite obsessive by nature. “If we decide we like something, we tend to hyper focus on it, and we both happened to do that with food at the same time,” he says.
“To be fair, you say it at the beginning and it always gets completely dropped throughout the episode …” “Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson is currently number one,” says Acaster. Why? “He’s just the greatest. I did not love wrestling as a teenager but The Rock is genuinely one of my biggest inspirations in terms of comedy persona. I’ve never met anyone who’s like, ‘I hate The Rock’. Pretty much everyone likes him, so I think it would be an exciting episode for everybody.
