This week Talal isn't having a mental breakdown at all. He CHOSE not to have any guests. Doing a Reddit AMA live on air was HIS CHOICE!
Talal takes questions from a range of probably-not-listeners on topics like Global Warming, Brexit, milk, God and The Moon.
Enjoy xx
On today’s show we celebrate the release of a painfully funny new web-series, “8:58”. The show focuses on the 2 minutes before work, when the staff are in the coffee room and the weird places that conversations can reach. Each episode features two World-class improvisers and no script!
The show’s creator, Riley Madincea, and one of it’s stars, Jenny Donoghue join Talal Karkouti for a game of Pickle Snatch, a ten-pound Asda meal deal, a heavy-weight bout of debating and some supernatural improv therapy.
We also play in a ball-pool.

After a rare pre-show preamble, today's episode swiftly undoes all the hard work we did last time to cure racism. Better strap yourselves in...
Lance Fuller and Riley Madincea (one half of Other People's Children) are back. So is my brother, Ahmad Karkouti (a.k.a. real hip-hop guy, AMBA MC), who we manage to take hostage in the studio after he was done hosting his K2K Radio programme, The Missin' Links Show.
We visit a museum of racism, make the coolest citizens arrests, wage Korean war on a potato and learn how Miley Cyrus will destroy the American Dream.
Oh, and we castrate Riley live on air...

On The LIL Show's 3rd birthday, Talal Karkouti found himself wandering the streets of London contemplating what the future holds. That's when he came across a lowly busker on the streets singing for his money. Upon looking closer, Talal was overcome with emotion to find that it was none other that his long-lost comedy partner, Panicky Tack band-mate and co-host, Luc Valvona.
Listen in as the boys reunite, catch-up and entertain passers-by with some beautiful, improvised songs and rambling, nonsensical chatter.
Stick around to the end for a bonus track!

From New York, New York comes the hip-hop improv troupe with more rhymes that a Dr. Seuss compendium - North Coast!
They join Talal for a very special, rap-ilicious episode of The LIL Show.
Expect a rap-battle throw down that'll make 8-Mile look like 2-Mile, Coronation Chicken bras, dental graffiti (graffiteeth?), the secret to happiness and a cacophony of revelatory raps in a fishing shack somewhere North of Minnesota.
Enjoy xx

You've heard of Two-Prov, you've even heard of Dr. Who-prov. Well get ready because we've just invented the next new craze: Tattoo-prov!
Host Talal gets inked live on air whilst trying to host a show and improvise scenes. Luckily, he has the support of some fantastic improvisers to help him through the agony.
We find out how the sins of animals can have serious consequences for humans, how a cigarette can get Syrian teens laid and what happens when you mix love with golf.
However, we don't get to any of this before the wonderfully talented artist Samuel Mead begins tattooing a cat onto Talal's ribs. And we don't stop until the cat-tat is done.

EPISODE 100! We celebrate with the most famous guest we've ever had, the most diverse guest team and the funniest scenes. Well, we would have if Alex Sievewright had done his job properly... Stick around for the SHOCKING twist at the end of the show. Could this be the final ever episode of London Improv Live? Enjoy xx thelilshow.com k2kradio.com
Well, well, well. What DIDN'T happen this episode??
We didn't NOT talk about Simon Feilder's appearance in the classic sit-com Friends, neither did we not talk about Tom Webster's appearance on Blue Peter.
We certainly didn't forget to explore what happens in the REAL London Underground, nor did we fail to discuss Amy Winehouse's jazz credentials.
Other things that didn't happen were refraining to have a rap battle in a hot-tub, forgetting to teach you about baby safety, NOT going on a guided tour of Nazi Germany or a lack of seeing how a teenage Talal was a mere haunting away from being a goth.
Confusing enough?
Enjoy! xx
