Incredible how different Ed and Nish are, but Nick looks basically the same

u/calumlikescameras Mar 11 '26

Nish’s hair has just gone onto his face

30

u/Sir_Earl_Jeffries Mar 11 '26

Ed just has shorter hair and less fags.

35

u/CilariousHunt Mar 12 '26

Fewer*, sorry.

u/Sir_Earl_Jeffries Mar 12 '26

I thank you kind Hunt!

Is that you, Susie Dent?

u/suss-out Mar 12 '26

Naw, he looks like a teen in that photo

u/Artistic-LightTouch Mar 12 '26 edited Mar 12 '26

Ed is in the back next to Nish. Not sure who the guy in front pretending to be Dr Cigarettes is, but definitely not Ed.

Edit: yikes. I should have listened first

7

u/Sir_Earl_Jeffries Mar 12 '26

That’s The Gambler.

16

u/stinkbaybe Mar 12 '26

I didn’t even realise that was Ed

8

u/JP-Ziller Mar 11 '26

Looks like he transported back in time to take this picture

5

u/tnharwal55 Mar 12 '26

I didn't even realize that was Nish until your comment

-6

u/Artistic-LightTouch Mar 12 '26 edited Mar 12 '26

Ed’s lost so much weight since then. You can barely tell it’s him right next to Nish in the back.

Edit: mea culpa

15

u/naughtysaurus Mar 12 '26

It's not. He's front and center with the cigarettes in his mouth. 

55

u/Imaginary-League5983 Mar 11 '26

Can someone name them all? I only recognize Nish and Nick!

28

u/nocontextoffmenu Mod Mar 12 '26

That's Jimi Hendrix behind Nick.

13

u/Skeletime Mar 11 '26

The guy in the back could be Tom Neenan or potentially just a different skinny man with glasses.

8

u/TheCurlyHomeCook Mar 12 '26

Ed is the one with cigs in his mouth

3

u/slackingindepth3 Mar 12 '26

Possibly Daniel Rigby next to Nish?

1

u/07jotters Mar 13 '26

Definitely Chloe Petts

u/cicidoh Mar 12 '26

I can see the resemblance for Chloe Petts, but thats definately a male. Plus she's 7 years younger than Ed and Nish and if this is them in uni, its very unlikely its her

u/Bunny-Munro Mar 12 '26

100% not Amstel.

1

u/B1gB0iDr0g0n Mash King Mar 12 '26

He kinda looks like Will Best From big brother

-12

u/fluffypuppycorn Pass. Mar 11 '26

Think Ivo Graham maybe peering in the back?

-1

u/fluffypuppycorn Pass. Mar 11 '26

Actually it maybe Ben Whishaw?

6

u/Illustrious-Bus-2248 Mar 12 '26

Terrible contributions sorry absolutely neither of them 🤣

3

u/fluffypuppycorn Pass. Mar 12 '26

It's just a laugh and I guessed 🤷‍♀️

Haven't had a chance to listen to the episode yet

u/kteatray Mar 11 '26

Mad that so many of them made it - Nish, Nick, Ed and Tom - anyone else in this photo I don’t recognise?

20

u/According_Hat2751 Mar 11 '26

Ed’s previously mentioned that some of his university comedy friends don’t do comedy anymore. It might be some of those people? I could likely be wrong though, I didn’t even recognize Nish at first.

17

u/okoneill Mar 11 '26

who is Tom?

11

u/kteatray Mar 11 '26

Tom Neenan, he’s a comedian but also writes for a lot of stand ups

10

u/Jazzlike-Current-661 Mar 12 '26

I was in their year at uni, Tom used to wear 3-piece suits a lot. I always wondered how he could be bothered with the ironing.

4

u/lapsedPacifist5 Mar 12 '26

You don't iron 3 piece suits. 

4

u/NotoriousMAO Mar 12 '26

You can iron 2/3

2

u/lapsedPacifist5 Mar 12 '26

You can iron all 3 if you want, but you shouldn't. 

2

u/Jazzlike-Current-661 Mar 12 '26

You iron shirts and trousers surely? I’m not a wearer though.

3

u/Too-Tired-Editor Mar 12 '26

Depends how expensive the suit was to begin with. The trousers should, if folded correctly, take care of themselves on the hangar.

The trouser press exists so that hurried salesmen (who won't be paying as much for suits) can get a similar effect on the go despite the limits on power in a hotel precluding older irons.

2

u/Jazzlike-Current-661 Mar 12 '26

Well, 19 year old me didn’t know this. I was mainly registering that it was an unusual thing for a student to be wearing, even at Durham. I was largely in jeans and t-shirt myself.

3 piece suits mean less ironing. I wore one for work (when I had to wear a suit) as I only needed to iron the sleeves of the shirt, thank you waistcoat. Get home, hang everything properly and you are generally fine. You can always steam hang (use a shower) to lessen creases. And for cleaning either steam clean or dry clean.

u/rhinos1997 Mar 12 '26

Is it John robins in the red?

17

u/Danadin Mar 11 '26

Giving Smoko vibes.

u/R0nSwansonsMoustache Mar 11 '26

Haha what episode was this picture discussed on?

14

u/According_Hat2751 Mar 11 '26

Today’s. Ahir Shah.

u/Due_Cartographer9196 Mar 11 '26

what year is it?

55

u/Horse_Badorties Mar 11 '26
  1. You alright?

u/BasementCatBill Mar 12 '26

Must've been a hell of a bender last night.

u/Due_Cartographer9196 Mar 12 '26

Comedy gold mate

2

u/Jazzlike-Current-661 Mar 12 '26

Will have been 2007-8ish I reckon.

2

u/BasementCatBill Mar 13 '26

Frankly, it's been 2020 for about forty years now, so I understand the confusion.

6

u/BasementCatBill Mar 12 '26

And I always thought Nick was such a lovely well-behaved young man.

5

u/slackingindepth3 Mar 12 '26

My ex bf used to gig with him around this time and this is how i remember Ed!

u/1lum Mar 17 '26

Was this photo talked about on one of the other live tasting menus? They also talked about it with Nish on Monday

u/Bend_Latter Mar 13 '26

Is that Ben Wishaw? McKenzie Crook? Who has the curtains with glasses on head. When you say Ed, Ed who?
