Olga Koch

Come As You Are with Helen Duff

Olga Koch is a comedic force to be reckoned with - since debuting to a Best Newcomer nomination for her show "Fight" at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2018, she's appeared on Mock the Week (BBC Two), QI (BBC Two), Frankie Boyle's New World Order (BBC Two), Late Night Mash (Dave), Richard Osman's House of Games (BBC Two), Guessable (Comedy Central), Question Team (Dave) all over BBC Radio 4 with her own specials, and is currently co-presenting the "Obsessed with... Everything I Know About Love" podcast for BBC Sounds with Sophie Duker.

On this episode we discuss being a self confessed "pick me girl" whilst studying computer programming; Olga's obsession with the internet from an early age; why dating a fellow comedian is less competitive than you might imagine; how learning about feminism and the #MeToo movement has influenced Olga's stand-up and when a new hotel room can help relight an old flame. Plus Lil Bow Wow, natch.
