MARCUS BRIGSTOCKE: “My foreskin is somewhere in Guildford.”

Comedian Marcus Brigstocke has a… complicated history with food. Sent to an English boarding school at seven years old, he found comfort in binge-eating - whether stolen or literally fished out of the trash. He also tells Danny and Phil about unrequested circumcisions, becoming a tall goth, and there’s more than you might expect about cheese. TW: Marcus was in a very dark place at one point, with all that that entails.
