In Lieu Of Lair

A strange new purpose for a historic site.

We’re back with an Odd News story featuring quirky history, underground secrets, and a bit of comic book villainy. Plus, for our Platinum Anniversary, we have a classic comedy clip from the vault. If you love unbelievable stories and comedy gold, you’ve come to the right place.

Odd News: In Lieu Of Lair

In this edition of Odd News, we travel to England to explore a bizarre architectural spot. And we wonder if it might be of some use to a certain well-known villain. In Lieu Of Lair, we’ll explore the bizarre-but-true renovation of a historic subterranean space in the United Kingdom. It’s an unlikely remodel with a spectacular, if tiny, new purpose. It may be the most unusual space you hear about all year.

Spammy the Clown

In a featured classic clip, we take you back to 2013 to catch up with America’s least-well-known kids entertainer, Spammy the Clown. Spammy is off to get today’s “Secret Word” from his dear friend, Magic Mirror. Seems simple enough. But things get a bit dark on Spammy’s quest.

Going down the reaction rabbit hole.

To celebrate the Platinum Anniversary of comedy4cast, we close out the episode with a fan-favorite sketch from the archives. This segment takes aim at a common internet trend and ponders just how far it can go if it is not kept in check. It’s an absurd commentary on how far internet content creators will go to chase a trend.
