Trigger Happy TV became a cultural phenomenon when it hit screens 25 years ago, introducing a new style of anarchic, surreal hidden-camera comedy that still resonates today. In this special episode of TellyCast, Dom Joly joins Justin Crosby to look back at the madness of making the show, the secrets behind its success, and why you can’t make comedy by committee.
With Trigger Happy TV hitting the road for the first time ever, Dom reveals how he’s bringing hidden-camera chaos to a live audience and whether prank comedy still has the same bite in a world of social media and viral video. He also shares behind-the-scenes stories from his career, including encounters with the police, near-missed sketches, and why people still misquote his most famous moment.
Plus, Dom talks about his second career as a travel writer, his dream TV project, and why he’s still waiting for a commissioner to call.
🎧 Listen now for a no-holds-barred deep dive into one of TV’s most innovative and rebellious comedy shows.
