What can I listen to that will make me laugh out loud?

I need something to get me through the couch to 5k, so audiobooks or podcasts for preference. I listen to no such thing as a fish, Richard herring, some politics stuff, but while they are interesting, I need actually laughing out loud to distract me from every moment of awfulness that is this godforsaken challenging I've taken on. Successes so far with So my dad wrote a porno, Joe Lycett's buttered parsnips, and Yes Minister/Prime Minister. What else is likely to get me strange looks as a chuckle to myself plodding down the street?

They are old but the Ricky Gervais podcasts he did with Stephen Merchant and Karl Pilkington used to regularly make me laugh on my morning commute.

Ooh I've just remembered one

" I secretly recorded my boyfriend "

John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme and Double Acts are also very good. Come and go off iPlayer but you can get them on archive.org or Podbean

That Mitchell and Webb Sound is good too.

Adam & joe podcasts, they're pretty old now but still funny!

Listened to all of "knowing me, knowing you" on bbc sounds recently which is still funny too.

Another David Sedaris recommendation

Fantastic mix of humour and can be very moving especially when he talks about his mother

Surprised no one else has suggested Wooden Overcoats yet - superb comedy, the first episode takes a little time to find its feet but then you're off.
