Wooden Overcoats

London Podcast Festival 2025

Wooden Overcoats is a British Podcast Award-winning sitcom – and now it celebrates 10 years of Funn Funerals with a BRAND NEW EPISODE! Be very afraid and very amused when “RUDYARD RUINS EVERYTHING!”


Rudyard Funn runs a funeral home in the village of Piffling Vale. It used to be the only one. It isn’t anymore. Because now there’s another funeral home just across the square, run by the impossibly perfect Eric Chapman. With his miserable sister Antigone, his assistant Georgie, and a mouse called Madeleine, Rudyard is taking drastic steps to stay in business…

Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the funeral parlour, Wooden Overcoats returns with a brand new episode! It’s never been seen or heard before!

When Rudyard tries to arrange a funeral and celebrate a birthday at the same time, he sets off a catastrophic chain of events! Will Piffling Vale ever recover? And is there really such a thing as a haunted kettle?

Set during the early years of Wooden Overcoats, these events are drawn from an unpublished chapter of Madeleine’s Memoirs of a Funeral House Mouse.

“To be honest, this is a story for which the world is not yet prepared,” says Madeleine, “But I’ve got to pay the deposit on a holiday home in Sark, so here we are.”

Book in-hall tickets here. 

This event will last approximately 90 minutes, without an interval.
