Please Tell Me A Story

Sony Music Entertainment

Comedy

Frequency: 1 episode/10d. Total Eps: 15

Omid tells his story to Felicity. Felicity tells Omid’s story to Mark, then Mark to Nabil, Nabil to Helen and Helen to Megan… each time with hilarious misrememberings, improvisations, stumbles, fumbles and laughs. Six comedians have a funny story to tell. Can they pass the story along the chain without completely twisting the tale? But this isn’t like the game you play at school where you only whisper short sentences. Each episode is a complete, beautifully written story, with each retelling getting funnier (and weirder!) as it passes on. In season 2 of Please Tell Me A Story, Omid Djalili is joined by Felicity Ward, Mark Thomas, Nabil Abdulrashid, Helen Bauer, and Megan Jayne Crabbe. It's the game where story telling goes horribly wrong… A Sony Music Entertainment production.

Felicity: "My nightmare stay at Mariah Carey's summer camp"

Season 2 · Episode 6

Tuesday, May 2, 2023 • Duration 31:36

Omid Djalili and friends are back with another season of Please Tell Me A Story, the game where storytelling goes wrong. Felicity Ward is last to take to the big blue storytelling chair and brings season 2 to a close with a story about her time at Mariah Carey’s summer camp. A fresh-faced 19 year old Felicity chaperones some sexually-awakening teenage boys and moths plays a pivotal role in a story that may or may not include meeting Mariah herself. Megan goes off script, Helen attempts to hit the high notes, and Mark talks of ‘flanging teens, fish and flapping moths’ in the season finale.

Mark Thomas is this week’s raconteur, and transports us back to Belfast in the late ‘80s. It’s his first time gigging in Northern Ireland, and things don't go to plan.

4. Sikisa: "The Soul Seeker"

Season 1 · Episode 4

Tuesday, January 31, 2023 • Duration 36:10

Omid Djalili welcomes you to Please Tell Me A Story, the show where six funny people tell each other the same story over and over again, with hilarious consequences along the way. Our comedians must pass the original tale down the line from memory, resulting in many stumbles, fumbles, and laughs. Sikisa is in the chair with a murder mystery to rival Agatha Christie, Sherlock Holmes, and the writers of Midsomer Murders. Why do the characters miss their flight? Who are these dead bodies? And where did that Scottish detective come from? So many questions, and like all good thrillers, you’ll have to wait until the end to find out what really happens... And as the story unravels in every retelling, find out why Seán Burke was accused of ‘censoring women’s voices’, and how Helen Bauer got stuck in her ‘mind palace’. Fasten your seatbelts, as this story is experiencing some turbulence... A Somethin’ Else and Sony Music Entertainment production.

3. Seán: "The Bassoon Show"

Season 1 · Episode 3

Tuesday, January 24, 2023 • Duration 38:12

Omid Djalili welcomes you to Please Tell Me A Story, the show where six funny people tell each other the same story over and over again, with hilarious consequences along the way. Our comedians must pass the original tale down the line from memory, resulting in many stumbles, fumbles, and laughs. Seán Burke is this week’s raconteur, and brings us the story of a fresh-faced, romantic comedian who starts dating the most beautiful girl he’s ever seen. It’s love at first swipe, but soon there’s a suspicious stand-up comedy hating father to win over. Will our hero’s jokes go down a storm at the all-important Bassoon Show, or will they be his downfall? What does the term ‘doing a Kai’ mean? And how does retired Chelsea forward Gianfranco Zola turn into ‘a pretentious falafel’? A Somethin’ Else and Sony Music Entertainment production.

2. Abi: "P*ssies Are Strong"

Season 1 · Episode 2

Tuesday, January 17, 2023 • Duration 34:27

Omid Djalili welcomes you to Please Tell Me A Story, the show where six funny people tell each other the same story over and over again, with hilarious consequences along the way. Our comedians must pass the original tale down the line from memory, resulting in many stumbles, fumbles, and laughs. Abi Clarke is in the story-telling hotseat this week. She spins a compelling yet baffling yarn of (slightly untimely) festive cheer through the lens of a Florida Man. Think Dickens’ ‘A Christmas Carol’ mixed with the ridiculous antics of men from the US’s Sunshine State, complete with helium balloons, an underwater world, and an emotional support python. It’s an age-old story with a surprisingly modern resonance, which led Kai Samra to declare he was ‘having a breakdown’ trying to remember it. So how many of the details will go walkies as we pass it down the line…?

Listen to hear Felicity’s dubious impression of schoolgirl Helen, Mark’s improvised jazz soundtrack, and an increasingly angry Helen when she hears what happens to her story.
