Stuart Goldsmith's Infinite Sofa

Stuart Goldsmith's new online chat show sticks two fingers up to isolation, with guests including Romesh Ranganthan, Sarah Millican, Russell Howard, Shappi Khorsandi and James Acaster.

Hot-housing the idea inside the fan group of his “Comedian's Comedian” podcast (15 million downloads), Stuart has spent the last month tinkering away with a range of conferencing tools to recreate a genuinely warm and welcoming atmosphere online. Seeing the limitations of the pandemic not as the collapse of live comedy but as an invigorating challenge, he now emerges with a format that puts the emphasis squarely on bringing people together for a good time.

Twelve members of the public join Goldsmith on the sofa of his new chat show to enjoy high profile comedy guests, and a carefully curated selection of Stuart's favourite circuit oddballs, cabaret stars, jokesmiths and chancers.

Viewers can win a spot on the sofa by either donating in a draw ahead of time, or “teleporting in” during the live show, to play the games and even help interview the celebrity guest!
