He’s the first man to proudly defend a bolognese sauce skin at the Dish table… This week Nick and Angela are joined by comedian, actor, and podcaster, Joe Wilkinson! Joe is known for his deadpan humour and comedic roles in shows such as After Life, Him & Her, Taskmaster, and 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown. This year, he’s switching things around as he stars as the romantic lead, alongside Keira Knightley, in the Waitrose Christmas advert. Joe also hosts his own podcast, Chatabix, alongside long-time collaborator David Earl. Joe’s dream meal? His own bolognese! Which means Angela has her work cut out for her as she serves up her version of the ultimate comfort classic. The meal is paired with a glass of Villa Antinori for Nick and Angela and a Zeno Alcohol-Liberated Red for Joe, following a non-alcoholic Italian Spritz to start. Beyond the bolognese, Joe opens up about his newfound love of carrot cake, his deep distrust of raisins (especially when disguised in a flapjack), and his surprisingly sweet approach to on-screen kisses, even when they involve Keira Knightley.
