The police arrived at the venue, the lead officer was in plain clothes, clearly, this was an undercover sting. Everyone stopped what they were doing as he went on the stage... took the microphone... and started telling jokes!

Mike Cox is a policeman with a not very secret secret: he's also a stand-up comedian. In this chat, we discussed how a UK policeman, a type not usually associated with humour, ended up taking to the stage and making people laugh.

The show includes a clip from one of Mike's live performances, be advised there are a few naughty words but don't let it stop you from laughing. We discuss Mike's journey into performing, what he's learned along the way, how he gets his material and how he's passing time in quarantine. He even shares how he is able to utilise humour in his professional life as a police trainer.
