About this listen

Please note: contains strong language and adult content.

The Special Relationship is a cross-continental sitcom, in which two idiot British comedians decide to 'crack America'. Unfortunately, they have very little idea about how to go about it - or even, when pushed, what it means. But that does nothing to dent their enthusiasm....

Featuring a host of comedy talent from both sides of the Atlantic, including Cecily Strong (Saturday Night Live), Fred Armisen (Portlandia), Lolly Adefope (Shrill), Sally Phillips (Veep), John Paul Reynolds (Search Party) and Jamie Demetriou (Stath Lets Flats).

The Special Relationship is written by and stars multi-award winning British comedy duo, Alex Owen and Ben Ashenden (aka 'The Pin').

I love The Pin's previous work, and this sitcom setting gives them even more free rein to express their delightfully daft brand of humour. So many excellent jokes, brilliant sketches, and gloriously ridiculous plot lines. The overarching narrative was also surprisingly sweet! Binged all 8 eps in 2 days. Loved it.

I hadn't heard of these two before and the format initially turned me off. I stuck with it and I'm glad I did. It's hilarious. Very quick style of humour and a good mix of comedy styles. Binged in one go. More please.

What a gem

I was expecting stand up comedy but instead I was delivered a hilarious story that made me giggle and heartily laugh, while on my cross country journey. Loved it. More books by The Pin please

Very different to what I normally listen to but found it strangely compelling if somewhat cringeworthy!!!

Different

One of the sweetest, funniest podcasts I've ever heard. I loved the cast and characters and would love a 2nd season.

So funny and sweet

Never heard of these guys before, but very glad I found them. Off beat, odd and exactly my kind of comedy.

Actually very amusing!

I loved this from start to finish some real laugh out loud moments, I'd certainly want to hear a second series!

Really enjoyable

Brilliant series. Laughed out loud regularly. Reminded me of Flight of the Conchords. Definitely give it a listen!

Love The Pin!
