Martin Lewis responds after comic reveals how cash knowledgeable would act on a stag do
Money saving guru Martin Lewis has responded to a comedian’s jibe at him. Comedian Josh Pugh posted a video on social media called “Rooming with Martin Lewis on a stag do”, where he pretends to be staying in the same room as the finance god somewhere in the world . . . probably Magaluf.
In the clip, Josh asks the imaginary Lewis where he “got to” as he “left early”, to which it emerged that he went before midnight because “taxis are cheaper before 12”. And then he describes how fake Martin brought “vouchers” to the meal, rather than just splitting the bill so he could “save everyone money”.

Josh said: “By the time 14 lads had put their email addresses into the rewards scheme, it had just killed the momentum a little bit.”
He went on to ask what “dare” he had put in for the next day . . . which turned out to be: “You’ve dared him to change his energy provider? “Yeah, again that’s kind of just more financial advice rather than just a dare . . .”
Josh goes on to tell the imaginary Martin to “relax” and “enjoy it more” rather than “trying to save the lads money”.

Admittedly, watching the video is funnier than reading it, however Martin quote tweeted the post on social media site Twitter/X and poked fun back at Josh.
He said: “This is quite ridiculous, like I’d even go on a stag in the first place… far cheaper to stay at home!”
The video has been viewed more than 1.7million times, with fans pointing out one big mistake in the clip. One wrote: “I really hope he wasn’t giving financial advice as he’s not authorised by the FCA to do so Josh.”

Others also chimed in with their own stories, such as one bloke who wrote: “I once knew a guy who printed vouchers for free drinks before he came out… just for himself, though, not anyone else.”
And a second wrote: “If you did go on the stag I’d bet that you’d be the kitty controller.” A third added: “I can imagine you on the two for one on Jäger bombs.”
