Cat Noir Comedy Podcast

Hosted by Cat Noir Comedy

A fully-scored British audio drama where two creators perform an expanding universe of absurd, interconnected characters in surreal story arcs.

The brief

This is a scripted audio fiction podcast, not a chat show. Matt Sanders and Kevin Chilvers write, produce, and voice a sprawling cast of characters in a shared universe. Episodes frequently form multi-part stories, parodying genres like lost media documentaries, time travel films, and nature-run-amok horror, all while building out the lore of their recurring, eccentric cast.

Unlike self-contained sketch comedy, Cat Noir's key distinction is its commitment to a persistent universe where characters from one-off bits can return and evolve. This focus on continuity and multi-episode arcs creates a rich, interconnected world with its own internal logic and history.
— What makes it distinctive

Who hosts this show

After reuniting 25 years after they first met, Sanders (an actor) and Chilvers (a musician) created the podcast to have full creative freedom. The show follows an ever-growing cast of characters, born from sketches, whose stories are forged into multi-episode arcs that blend action, drama, and absurd comedy.
