BBC Radio 4 - Tarot: Soundbleed, Episode 1

The sketch supergroup bring sketches all linked by sound effects.

4 Extra Debut. The sketch supergroup bring us a soundscaped joust disaster while a guitar comes out at a party. With Adam Drake. From 2021.

The brainchild of multi-award winning sketch supergroup Tarot, uniting Gein's Family Giftshop and Goose, alongside stand-up and writer Kiri Pritchard-McLean.
 
In August 2019, Tarot were the 5th best-reviewed act in Edinburgh, the fourth best show of the year according to The List, and the best show of the year according to Chortle. The Guardian called it 'bark-out-loud funny', and The Telegraph called it 'hilarious'. 

Throughout their richly soundscaped first series, Soundbleed harnesses the group's inventive writing, rapid gag rate and fine ear for character. 

In this first episode,  we hear an unrelaxing meditation session, a disaster at a joust and, worst of all, someone gets a guitar out at a party.

Written and performed by:

Adam Drake
Edward Easton
Kath Hughes
Ben Rowse
Kiri Pritchard-McLean.
