*podcast guest realises they've started sounding impatient and pissy* "Hey I'm just going to do the rest of this interview as an obnoxious improv character I've just made up, haha could never be me."

The downside of SNL UK coming back in the autumn is Fouracres is presumably unavailable to go back to the Globe, and I'd have really liked to see someone make Touchstone's final standup routine actually funny.
