| 5/2/23 | Felicity: "My nightmare stay at Mariah Carey's summer camp" | 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.

This time round, Omid is joined by Felicity Ward, Mark Thomas, Nabil Abdulrashid, Helen Bauer, and Megan Jayne Crabbe. Nabil takes to the big blue storytelling chair! As we cross the mid-way point of the series, he tells a North Nigerian story full of wisdom, morals, and lessons... but do those morals make it to the final telling? Hmmm... Find out how Felicity's words nearly get her into some real trouble, how Helen and Mark got inventive with their own sound effects, and how Megan added her own murderous twist to the tale.

But a toilet accident means that Helen’s day doesn’t really go to plan. And things go from bad to worse on Paper Bag Princess Day… It's a story of highs and lows, poos and wees.

It involves a young Hans Zimmer, an overly familiar Oliver Reed, and a very confused Omid Djalili.

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’.

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?

| 1/17/23 | 2. Abi: "P*ssies Are Strong" | 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…?
