That time Mat hung out with the King

The life of an entertainer must be weird. I mean, one night you’re sharing a bill with burlesque artistes and guys who spin plates, and the next you’re onstage joking amiably about killing the future King of England. To his face. And the face of his future Queen Consort. Both of whom get a visible kick out of it.

In this video, Mat recalls the night these things actually happened, right here on planet Earth, and reflects on the considerable challenge of disentangling an affable pair of human audience members from the bloated pyramid of privilege whose pinnacle they occupy.

New episode of the show lands Wednesday, April 10.
