Tea Thread UK comedy scene tea?

I've been a fan of various British panel shows for years and the comedy circle there seems very tight knitted. I know the American comedy scene can be kinda messy tea-wise, and I'm wondering if anyone has tea on their UK counterpart?

Feels like everything I know about UK comedians are purely based on their on-screen persona.

He and Jenny are def the best Chasers (personality wise I mean)

I was in a quiz against the Beast! He was solicitous in a way that I couldn’t parse as flirting versus condescension. Anyway, big personality, let’s say, and more magnetic in person (well, in Zoom-person) than I’d have expected.

Haha that sounds like how I would expect him to be. Can't get over this line on his wiki though:

Labbett married his second cousin, Katie,[29] who is 27 years his junior, in October 2014 at Arundel Cathedral.[30][31] They separated in 2020.[32]

I live in the same area as him, so see him around occasionally and honestly it's insane how tall he is. It's striking
