The week's comedy on demand

This week's best comedy shows on demand.

How Did This Get Made?

A bad-movie podcast now into its 145 episode. Yesterday's instalment savaged the 2014 turkey Vampire Academy, spending almost as long as the film's running dissecting it, 'wallowing in the mediocrity' as their jingle goes.

Paul Scheer and Jason Mantzoukas host (regular co-presenter June Diane Raphael is away on maternity leave) and this week forced Aisling Bea and US comedian Michael Showalter to endure the movie of which Rolling Stone said: 'Vampire Academy doesn't need a review. It needs a stake in the heart.'

Red Dwarf

Dave continues to premiere its new episodes of the cult sci-fi comedy on demand first. In the third episode, entitled Give And Take and airing on olde-worlde TV on Thursday, Lister has his kidneys 'organ-napped' after a run-in with a deranged droid, and Cat's called up on to make a donation. See it first on UKTV Play here

Jon Holmes

The Now Show might have dropped him in the name of diversity, but Jon Holmes continues his show on TalkRadio. And like all radio shows it's available as a podcast too – a weekly round-up of some of the most entertaining segments of the afternoon show. Hear the latest episode here

Jim Jefferies: Bare

The American-based, British-forged, Australian comic's 2014 special is available on Spotify.

It's the one that includes the coruscating routine against gun control, which helped build his fan base after going viral, as well as near-the-knuckle routines about anal sex, Oscar Pistorius and auditioning disabled actors for his TV series. The tone is brutal, but there's some thought to it.

Bare was first released on Netflix, where it is still available, and you can read our original review here

All Killa No Filla

Stand-ups Rachel Fairburn and Kiri Pritchard McLean shared their passion for serial killers in this podcast, now in its 27th episode, which is about the Butcher of Rostov, Andrei Chikatilo, executed in 1994 after confessing to 56 murders. He preyed on children and young vagrants, eating intimate parts of their bodies. So have a good old laugh about that here
