Comic Relief is bringing the ultimate party experience to your ears next week with the launch of its brand-new podcast, IT’S MY PARTY, hosted by comedian Catherine Bohart. The podcast launches on Wednesday 12 March and is designed to make listeners feel good all year long while helping to support Comic Relief’s life-changing projects across the UK and the world.
Each week celebrities plan their perfect birthday parties, sharing everything from their dream guest lists to their party playlists, dress codes, themes, and even snack choices. Guests on the show include Nish Kumar, Kiri Pritchard-McLean, Lenny Henry, Gabrielle and Jameela Jamil - with the first episode featuring the iconic duo from the ‘Help I Sexted My Boss’ podcast, Jordan North and William Hanson.
Ever wondered what food Nish Kumar would serve at his knees-up, or who Gabrielle would be getting in to DJ? Well, wonder no more! From choosing whether to throw a white-tie gala or a tie-dye rave, to deciding if the soundtrack should be Daft Punk or Debussy, each episode of IT’S MY PARTY invites listeners into a world of imagination and celebration. Will there be a conga line or a magician? Chips and dips or fine wine and cake? It’s all about indulging in the ultimate party spirit, with no detail too small to discuss.
Host Catherine Bohart said: “I’m so excited for everyone to hear this podcast. I love our guests, I love parties, I love talking parties – the strategy, the planning, the rules, the themes – I love it all! Comic Relief was such a significant part of my childhood, I have such clear memories of those nights of television giving me a new perspective on such important things but also being so full of joy at the same time, so to be part of it all this year is meaningful and it feels really special. It also means that I can be really nosey with celebs in the name of Comic Relief, so, that’s nice!”
Samir Patel, CEO of Comic Relief, said: “As we celebrate Comic Relief’s 40th birthday, we’re so excited to launch IT’S MY PARTY in partnership with our friends at Amazon Music. This fun new podcast gives listeners a chance to get a behind-the-scenes look at the ultimate celebrity party plans, all while helping raise money for the incredible projects that change lives. We’re proud to carry on bringing people together through laughter and celebration, and we hope this series makes everyone feel good while supporting our mission to make a real difference.”
IT’S MY PARTY will be available on Amazon Music and wherever you choose to listen, with the first episode featuring Jordan North and William Hanson dropping on Wednesday the 12th March.
