WOODEN OVERCOATS LIMITED Information

Award Winning Podcast. Rudyard Funn and his equally miserable sister Antigone run their family’s failing funeral parlour, where they get the body in the coffin in the ground on time. But one day they find everyone enjoying themselves at the funerals of a new competitor – the impossibly perfect Eric Chapman! With their dogsbody Georgie, and a mouse called Madeleine, the Funns are taking drastic steps to stay in business… "Move over, Radio 4. This ensemble scripted comedy about a pair of doomed undertakers is funnier than anything broadcast on the BBC. Siblings Rudyard and Antigone Funn battle to keep their undertaking business on the small island of Piffling going after a new competitor arrives in town." - Caroline Crampton, The New Statesman - The Best Podcasts of 2016 "I. Am. In - oh boy this is great - I am in love." - Glen Weldon, Pop Culture Happy Hour "This daffy British podcast sitcom has been around since 2015, and it’s only gotten better over time...Wooden Overcoats has never been more addictive, and its world has never been more interesting." - Nick Quah, Vulture - The Best Podcasts of 2018 (So Far) "As good, if not better, than any Radio 4 comedy offering." - Miranda Sawyer, The Guardian (print edition in The Observer) "A hoot to listen to, perfectly produced ... You owe yourself a listen to this extraordinary production." - Rowan Slaney with Alexander Danner writing in, The Guardian "Shades of Fawlty Towers, The Black Adder, The Office, and likely a good number of other Brit-coms I'm not familiar with, all while being completely original." - Marc Hershon, The Huffington Post "Mark my words; this release of this funny, clever, independently produced sitcom marks a quietly significant moment in British radio comedy, when the BBC networks stopped being the only conduit by which top-rank young writers and actors got their wares to market." - Pete Naughton, The Daily Telegraph "Raises the bar for podcasting as a whole." - Laugh Out London
