Welcome to the VALENTINE’S DATING SPECIAL 2026 of Crushed by Margaret Cabourn-Smith; the podcast where I grill funny people about unrequited love.
Today’s episode features gloriously hilarious stand-up and Taskmaster alum Fatiha El-Ghorri.
Fatiha is a sharp, fearless, wise human and I felt honoured to be in her presence – I kept wanting to make notes, even though the whole thing was literally being recorded. Fatiha has a BBC Radio 4 show about dating called A MATCH MADE INSHALLAH which you can hear on BBC Sounds.
She is also on tour in 2026 but get your tickets quicksharp as they’re selling out. Go to www.fathiaelghorri.co.uk/events
Thrilled to announce that my guest for our next live show at the Machynlleth Comedy Festival is the unassailable comedy icon HARRIET KEMSLEY so do get your tickets – they are available here.
