About this show
Chief Petty Officer is a sharp, visually driven comedy lecture defining the formula for the perfect petty act. Stand-up comedian and consumer champion Vix Leyton dissects history's best grudges from imperial overreach to pop culture beefs, using a surprisingly robust framework to determine who reached the peak and who disastrously doubled down. Blending smart storytelling with bold visuals and big laughs, the show explores how small grievances can spiral into something much bigger once witnessed and shared. Perfect for BBC Radio 4 fans, history lovers, petty enthusiasts and 50 Cent – he'll love this.
