Hellish

Comedian RACHEL FAIRBURN gives us the five tracks she will meet in Hell!

We are back after four weeks away, and who better to drag you all back to Hell than top comedian Rachel Fairburn? Rachel tells us about her new show, Vexy Beasts, and making the switch between character comedy and stand up. We also talk about working in a library, how Rachel's hit serial killer podcast, All Killa No Filla, increased her confidence as a comedian, and discuss whether Liam Gallagher ever calls his mum after a gig.

Rachel is about to appear at the Edinburgh Festival. She's at the Monkey Barrel from August 6th - 30th, tickets for that are here.

Then, in October and November, she takes Vexy Beasts on a tour of Great Britain. Dates and tickets can be found here.

Watch Rachel in action for free! Rachel's show, Showgirl, is on YouTube

Rachel's short story podcast, Harpurvale, is available here.

Hellish has been taking a break for the last few weeks, but as we didn't want you to be without something to listen to we called in some of our top podcast pals to help us out. We've been running a mini series we're calling 'HELLISH PRESENTS ...' Each week we've introduced you to a podcast we love: there's a short intro from Daniel, and then a whole episode of the show of the week.

This week is our final 'Hellish presents ...' and we're presenting MAKING TROUBLE WITH MOLLY NAYLOR. Molly was our guest on episode 56 in September 2025, and she's very kindly loaned us her episode with podmaster ADAM BUXTON. If you're not already a troublemaker, this will make you into one. You're gonna love it.

Listen and subscribe to MAKING TROUBLE WITH MOLLY NAYLOR here.

Hellish is back next week with episode 72!
