Anna Faris drops into Off Menu — but her booking may not go to plan
Based on the show notes, this Off Menu episode welcomes ‘Scary Movie’ star Anna Faris to Ed Gamble and James Acaster’s comedy dining room. The tease suggests a surprise twist, with someone else apparently hijacking her booking.
This is a preview based only on the published show notes, not a recap of the audio itself. If you like Off Menu for its mix of guest chemistry and playful chaos, this episode looks like an easy one to queue up. The notes promise Anna Faris as the guest, with Ed Gamble and James Acaster "delighted" to host her — but they also hint that the booking doesn’t stay straightforward for long. That small tease is the main hook here: alongside the appeal of hearing from the *Scary Movie* star, there’s clearly some kind of comic disruption built into the episode. If you enjoy the show most when it leans into surprise and improvisational energy, that setup alone may be enough to tempt you in. The metadata also ties the episode to the June 5 cinema release of *Scary Movie*, so listeners curious about Faris in the middle of a current promo run may find this especially timely. And if you prefer watching the hosts and guest interact, the notes mention a video version on the Off Menu YouTube channel. Best fit for: listeners who already enjoy Off Menu’s format, Anna Faris fans, and anyone drawn in by the promise of a guest appearance with a twist.
