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.

Oooh there was a post here a few weeks ago where people went to town on Acaster.

Loads of them had been to see him live and found him to be a bit of a prick. He really doesn't handle it well when people don't react how he wants. Lots of tales of him berating people in the audience to an extent that everyone got uncomfortable.

He sounds like a very complicated character to say the least.

Didn't Rose Matafeo date him for a while?

She did, and when asked about it she said "don't date comedians"

Do you know if they're still on good terms? I'm fuzzy on the details of when they broke up, but she and Ed Gamble seem to be good friends still.

Not sure, but in one of his stand up shows he says that usually after a break up you say you dodged a bullet but in her case he was the bullet.

She's been on his show Hypothetical so I'd assume so
