It certainly spoke to these people, who all lined up to parody the overprivileged. They’re scathingly funny.

Hi Arabella, lovely to meet you. My name's Barnaby, my parents bought me a house in Kensington so I could be closer to pursuing my dream of being an artist. My studio is the house next door to mine which my parents also bought for me. Add me on tiktok – Selfmadeboy1990

Hi Arabella, I’m Octavia Tuppence – maybe you’d like to join me for a spot of radical self-care cookery. You'll only need 4 ingredients – spirulina, boba tea, half an ice sculpture (whatever you have to hand), and the memory of a dream I had last Christmas. See you in the yurt!

Hi Arabella! I'm Jimothy, I once travelled through Vietnam and it changed my life. I've now opened a cool restaurant which my parents funded, where I top a Shepard's pie with kimchi and serve my take on Pho but with ramen noodles, in a miso broth and an Asian flavoured salad.

Hi Anabella! I’m Ru Caprio Mint, I own a boutique in Shoreditch called Balalaika Stories selling Goan sand and hessian satchels. My mate Bobo sews them using recycled baler twine from his city farm. Shared bath night on Thursday to highlight the plight of those without wet rooms!
