My Favourite Takeaway is the food and comedy podcast series hosted by comedian and takeaway addict Tom Craine (Drunk History, Russell Howard’s Good News, Last Leg: Correspondents), and his similarly food obsessed friend Cimran Shah and is currently on Series 3.
Each week our hosts head into the home of a celebrity guest, to share their favourite takeaway with them… EXACTLY as they normally have it! From Peruvian street food slouched on James Acaster’s huge L-Shaped sofa, to an Antiguan feast on Andi Oliver’s best bone china, My Favourite Takeaway is the show for anyone who loves food, but can’t always be bothered to cook it!
Each meal provides a chance to share hilarious food stories, reveal tales of takeaway disasters (“there was a footprint baked into the f***ing pizza!”), gain unique insights into the guests lives (through the medium of takeaways!) and come clean about embarrassing takeaway truths. Because let’s face it: we all have the.
Guests so far have included… James Acaster, Andi Oliver, Josh Widdicombe, Ed Gamble, Tom Allen, Phil Wang, Alex Brooker, Elizabeth Day, Rosie Jones and more. Tom Craine is a comedian and writer whose current Radio 4 sitcom ReincarNathan was nominated for two ARIA Awards and a BBC Audio Drama Award. Cimran Shah is a BAFTA nominated TV producer, and current commissioning editor for Channel 4, who has produced shows such as The Last Leg and 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown.
