Audible, a world-wide leader in spoken-word entertainment launches Jack Whitehall’s Safe Space, a 10-part Audible Original comedy series which welcomes big names in the world of entertainment, to share their most embarrassing, shocking and frequently hilarious stories.
Launching today, the brand new series hosted by Jack Whitehall (Bad Education, Jungle Cruise, Travels with My Father) throws open the doors to Jack’s Safe Space, a place where celebrities and listeners alike are free to share their most cringe-inducing tales, and try to feel better about themselves along the way.
From the school days we’d rather forget (Emily Atack), to worst first impressions (Russell Howard) and cringeworthy celebrity encounters (Jameela Jamil), no shameful stone is left unturned, as Jack is joined by some of the funniest names in the industry who come bearing all about the moments in their lives that have led to sleepless nights.
Elsewhere, Jack gets to the bottom of a real day’s work with comedian and former handyman Tom Davies, discusses embarrassing relationship experiences away from the screen with Judd Apatow, and discovers a personal story of shame not even Big Zuu’sfamily knows about, plus more from the likes of Jordan Grey, Layton Williams, and Whitney Cummings who discuss everything from centre stage woes to the human body.
Alongside Jack in his safe space is best friend, producer, comedy writer and ‘unembarrassable’ James Serafinowicz (Truth Seekers, Sick Note). Produced by Audio Always for Audible, Jack and James do their best to cleanse all feelings of cringes past, from listeners and guests alike. And remember - what happens in the Safe Space, stays in the Safe Space.
Listeners can also get into the holiday spirit, as a bonus episode with a festive spin will launch this December where, unfortunately for Jack, beloved parents Hilary and Michael join him in the Safe Space to discuss their moments of shame relating to holiday period.
