In this inaugural Tales of Bedlam nursery rhyme episode, your hosts Knob Twister and Sofa Sitter dive deep—and hilariously off the rails—into the mysterious origins of Humpty Dumpty. Was he really an egg? Or was he a massive 17th-century cannon that took a tragic tumble during the English Civil War?
This episode blends satire, folklore trivia, and wild speculation about sinew-wrapped necks, dusty libraries, and a possible Nick Cage-led Hollywood adaptation of the Humpty Dumpty story. Whether you’re into fairy tale history, audio comedy, or just wondering why 160 men couldn’t fix one chubby guy (or cannon), this episode is for you.
Expect laughs, eyebrow raises, and a slightly unsettling detour into dark nursery rhyme versions you’ve never heard before.
