About the project

Kiss and Hold Hands is an improvised comedy podcast where Holly and co-host Katie Currie play therapists running sessions for a celebrity/historical figure/animal/object/fictional character (e.g. The Titanic, Mr Monopoly, Liza Minnelli), played by a guest comedian. The hosts then introduce a second guest, a friend/family member/lover of the first, with whom they have a conflict. The remainder of the episode consists of the hosts attempting to convince both guests to squash their beefs and "Kiss and Hold Hands." The 'therapy' varies from actual techniques to silly made up bullshit, with comedy as the main goal.
