Welcome to the third episode of A History Of Comedy In Several Objects (or HistComPod for short). Join Olly and Elspeth for another week spelunking in the British Stand-Up Comedy Archive as we look at an attempt to establish a Comedy Trade Union in 1983, and go through a list of all the key acts in the alternative comedy scene of the day, where future stars like French and Saunders rubbed shoulders with long forgotten performers whose gags are now lost in the mists of time.
