The Pundamentals

In this episode of the Liverpool Comedy Improvcast, friend of the show Michael Ananins steps into host as our regular host Iain Luke Jones takes centre stage to chat about his brand new book, The Pundamentals—a celebration of puns, wordplay, and the joy of clever comedy! Iain dives into the inspiration behind the book, exploring how his love of improv and years of playing with language shaped its creation. He shares some of his favourite pun games, discusses the art of crafting the perfect wordplay, and reveals how The Pundamentals isn’t just about jokes—it’s about creativity, spontaneity, and the way language connects us all. If you love a good pun (or even a bad one), this episode is packed with laughs, insights, and plenty of groan-worthy moments! It's time to sit back, relax and find out Iain's true story about writing The Pundamentals.
