About this episode
This week, host of Late Night Mash Rachel Parris sits down with Russell to select her most precious items for the Wonderbox.
Russell finds out why the world is a better place because of tiny lederhosen, Tunnock's Teacakes and Rachel recalls her once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to normalise British sex toys.
Rachel will be taking a show back out across the UK in 2024 so keep your eyes peeled for that.
Rachel's book, Advice from Strangers, is available now and it makes a terrific Christmas present actually. You could buy a copy from here.
Russell's tour continues with dates in various UK cities over December and January. Would those tickets also make good Christmas presents? Why yes they would. Here they are...
Thanks for listening and as always there will be more Wonderboxery for your ears next week. Bye!
