About
My Favourite Takeaway is the brand new 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.
Each week our hosts will head into the home of a celebrity guest, to share their favourite takeaway with them… EXACTLY as they’d 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, via a hushed Indian Takeaway in Tom Allen’s back garden (“the neighbours kid goes to sleep at 8, sorry!”), My Favourite Takeaway is the show for anyone who loves food, but can’t always be bothered to cook it! Each meal will provide 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 them! Perhaps you’re a dip hoarder, a massive over-orderer or a reluctant sharer? Does the thickness of a prawn cracker keep you awake at night? Maybe you agree with Josh Widdicombe when he says “only idiots order rice with a curry”? Or have you ever rummaged in the bin to see if your partner has “missed a bit”? (Ellie Taylor has!). And best of all: it’ll be a chance to shed light on some of the best independent takeaways the UK has to offer... and exactly which dishes you should be making it your mission to try. Series 1 of My Favourite Takeaway launches soon and guests include… Andi Oliver, Josh Widdicombe, Ed Gamble, Tom Allen, Ellie Taylor, Phil Wang, Dr Annie Gray, Big Has, and James Acaster! 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, who has produced shows such as The Last Leg and 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown.
