Swapping the comedy circuit for a microphone and a 1939 London telephone directory, Saul abandons his trademark irreverence to deliver the ultimate exercise in deadpan restraint. No chat, no analysis, and zero punchlines, this effortlessly engaging MC is sitting down to simply read a vintage phonebook, line by line.
