Twits in Peril, Chapter 5 - My Short but Brilliant Acting Career
When we last saw Cyril he was being carried on the shoulders of a mob bent on confronting the evil tycoon Cyril Chippington-Smythe. They little suspect that the heroic “Johny” who is leading their little uprising is, in fact, the very Chippington-Smythe they despise. Quite a sticky wicket for our hero, but every step is bringing him closer to the resourceful Bentley.

Twits in Peril, Chapter 1 - An Ill-Advised Wager
Cyril is happily swilling down a Brandy and Prozac at the Club Bar when his old friends, Ford and Lincoln join him. The conversation turns to the gulf between the privileged class and the masses and Cyril is goaded into betting that he can pass for a member of the working class for a week. His cousin Binky arrives and places his bet on Cyril. Alas, they haven't taken into account that his mechanical valet cannot accompany him. Bentley does his best to prepare Cyril- enlisting their grocery delivery person, Ernie, to tutor and chaperone him, but this is going to be an uphill climb and no mistake.

The TWITS series follows the adventures of Cyril Chippington-Smythe (Michael Urie), the world's richest man, and his mechanical manservant Bentley (Dakin Matthews) as they navigate a dystopian world in search of love and meaning. This is a world in which the great minds that should have discovered electricity went into the restaurant business instead, or decided to chuck the science game because their true passion was stand-up comedy. It is a world of hydrogen, steam-powered servants and factory-made food- in which the privileged few, like Cyril Chippington-Smythe, whose every wish is instantly gratified, have nothing to live for but pleasure... and fashion... and love.
With a brilliant supporting cast of characters played by Christian Borle, Helen Cespedes, Stephen DeRosa, Nick Sullivan, Mary Testa, Kiera Allen, Teddy Yudain, James Monroe Iglehart, Taylor Iman Jones, Ann Harada, Wesley Taylor, Rachel York, Lilli Cooper, Fergie L. Philippe, Nik Walker, and more, narrated by Lillias White, this transporting podcast,, written and created by Tom Alan Robbins, is sure to tickle your fancy.
