  • Today we welcome U.S. comedian and actor Gary John Miller to the podcast for a chilled out chat about a variety of subjects including why Colorado has become synonymous with True Crime, how TV can influence food cravings, and why so many American films end with a kiss or marriage sequence. Gary also explains why he likes to eat as the locals do whilst travelling, why 'Paris Syndrome' is a thing, and how he inadvertently started watching South Park aged just six.

  • It's Halloween, and who better to chat to than Danny Robins, the man behind the incredibly successful podcast & BBC TV show 'Uncanny'. Find out why Danny was interviewed by The Guardian as Basil Brush, which unsettling film influenced his trademark look, and how he made the jump from comedy to the paranormal. As a bonus to this Halloween episode you will also hear myself and the hilarious Clinton Baptiste talking about theatre ghosts backstage at The Tyne Theatre earlier this year, as well as an excerpt from my Edinburgh Show 'Steve Otis Gunn is Uncomfortable' where I regale the audience with my very own spooky story.

  • Today we welcome comedian and author Ian Stone to the podcast. Ian explains how he deals with divisive issues onstage and why world events have unfortunately allowed previous routines to once again become relevant. He shares his love for Billy Connolly, especially on Parkinson, and breaks down the brilliance of Ronnie Barker's comic delivery in the TV show 'Porridge'. Although Ian is very much into his music, we find out how he really felt whilst appearing on 'Never Mind The Buzzcocks'. We also chat about the slog of writing books, TV appearances versus live performance, and how Ian once co-wrote a filthy sketch for the cast of children's TV show 'Rainbow'.

  • Today we welcome U.S. comedian Louis Katz to the podcast for a deep dive into the Edinburgh Festival, and comedy in general. Louis explains why performing to Fringe audiences is a soulless and joyless experience and why he won't be coming back any time soon. Louis then name drops a celebrity penis while I explain why I was more than happy to have one of my shows cancelled. We discuss 'taking a punt' and ponder the inevitable bursting of the comedy bubble, while also wondering if podcasts might now be the audio version of reality TV.

  • Today we welcome the man who was at the absolute centre of TV and celebrity culture in the 1990s. Long before TFI Friday and Britpop there was a Friday night Channel 4 show that drew an enormous viewership among the young, and that show was 'The Word', a television show helmed by Mr Terry Christian. Starting out in radio at the age of just 19, Terry has had a remarkable career that put him front and centre of the Manchester music scene, and later in a position to fight for those bands to gain exposure on Channel 4. It hasn't been easy and Terry pulls no punches in telling his story. Listen as he regales us with tales of hanging out with James Brown and Robin Williams, and the true story behind Oliver Reed's infamous drunken interview, as well as that legendary awkward Bill Hicks interaction.

  • Today we welcome American Comedian Sid Singh to the podcast for a chat about his career in comedy, most notably in Europe, where he appeared regularly on a popular Romanian talent show. We discuss how bad eggs can seriously disrupt a performance and why Sid ended up sleeping in his car just days after winning a prestigious Edinburgh Fringe award. Listen as he relays the story of landing a life changing TV hosting job and the chaos around the whole experience, all of which just happened to occur during a global pandemic. We also discuss why banning tourists from European cities might not be the best solution for the local economy and how expensive eye glasses can seriously derail your finances.

  • Today we welcome Howard J. Ford, Director of the hit film ‘The Ledge’ onto the pod to talk about his new movie ‘Escape’ and his upcoming thriller ‘DarkGame’. Find out why he prefers to film in exotic places, even if scouting out a location can sometimes become dangerous, and why he's a big fan of capturing the action by shooting just one take. We discuss why watching films on a phone is a no-no, and how our ever-connectivity with devices is leading to us lose one other. Find out the lengths Howard went to to make 'The Lockdown Hauntings' and the unlikely spot where he ate one of the greatest meals of his life.

  • This week we welcome comedian Yuriko Kotani to the podcast for a conversation about Japan, comedy, food and telly. I was lucky enough to be able to sit down during the busy Edinburgh Fringe for a podchat with Yuriko whereby we discussed performing comedy in a language other than your own, the magic that lies within Doraemon's fourth dimensional pocket and watching Japanese horror films at way too young an age. Yuriko shares her love for The League of Gentlemen and British comedy in general, while we also discuss the beauty of both Japanese architecture and food presentation.

  • This week welcome our first proper West-Ender Anna-Jane Casey to the podcast. Currently starring as Sybil in 'Fawlty Towers-The Play', A.J. is at the top of her game, having starred in almost every musical you can think of. In fact, in turns out that she was in the very first West End show I ever saw. We discuss a myriad of subjects including Dean Gaffney's entrance into the jungle in 'I'm a Celeb', the PTSD of living through a global pandemic and why it might be time to bring back the word Pussy. A.J. loves a challenge, which is why she would quite like to be a contestant on 'SAS-Who Dares Wins' and have 'staff' spit in her face. She explains why John Cleese is a master of comedy before leaving us with something of a motto for life: 'if you've not cleaned your own u-bend you've lost the concept of life'

  • This week we welcome U.S. Stand-up Mike Lukas to the podcast for a chat about all things comedy. We talk about his family's Lithuanian roots and the fear of Russian invasion that still haunts the community. Mike explains why people tend to fear change, regardless of the reasoning behind it and why the world might just need a reset. We chat way too much about hair, baldness and wigs before settling into a convo about Mike's Funny Muscle books and the mechanics of building a comedy set. We then tiptoe around the tricky topics of the day and discuss pushing back against our own programming when trying to adapt to new ways of thinking. Mike takes us through his journey as a stand-up, from sweaty clubs to performing at the Montreal Comedy Festival, which in turn led to him being booked on the Tonight Show and Conan, where he rubbed shoulders with celebrities such as Mr T. Subsequently Mike was booked to perform on the Second City comedy tour which ultimately landed in Las Vegas during 9/11, where he pranked the residents of his apartment complex along with his room-mate Jason Sudeikis.

  • This week we welcome director Paul Andrew Williams to the podcast to talk about his various projects including his brilliant spooky revenge crime thriller 'Bull', his four part Cary Grant Biopic 'Archie', as well as his upcoming dramatisation of the events surrounding the shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes at Stockwell Tube station in 2005. Paul explains how he struggles to pinpoint genres and finds it hard to watch his own early work. He also explains why he's drawn towards true stories and subjects that deal with the father/son dynamic. We also briefly discuss the failures of the UK postal system and how a family encounter with Steven Seagal left me feeling perplexed. Paul heaps praise onto Stephen Graham, who starred in his TV drama 'The Walk-in' and gives us a tease of his upcoming movie 'The Nest' starring Andrea Riseborough and Vanessa Redgrave.

  • This week we welcome the award winning comedian and author Rosie Holt to the podcast to chat about the election and how her Tory MP character might sway the outcome, by way of her new book 'Why we were right'.

    We discuss Rosie's similarities to Dua Lipa and why she'll never go on Strictly, plus why season 7 of Friends just isn't funny. Rosie explains how the X-files left her traumatised and why she cannot abide True Crime. We also discuss our most hideous jobs and admit to never having watched a single David Attenborough nature documentary.

    For an extra treat you'll also get to hear how I speak using A.I. The Future is here, and the future is...well, a bit naff to be honest!

  • This week we welcome the fantastic comedian and actor Nick Helm to the podcast for a chat about his comedy beginnings, his love for Harry Hill and why he's listening to every Alice Cooper album in order whilst on tour. Nick lifts the lid on his hit BBC show Uncle and explains how he ended up dressed as an ostrich in a recent episode of Eastenders. It's a great chat that features my own son in the background, due to it being recorded during half term. Follow Nick and subscribe to the podcast using the links below:

  • This week we welcome the brilliant actor and character comedian Alex Lowe to the podcast, recorded backstage at The Tyne Theatre during his tour of Clinton Baptiste's RollerGhoster. We talk about spooky stuff including ghosts and the unscrupulous tactics used by touring psychics, as well as the influences that informed the creation of Clinton Baptiste and his back story. Alex takes us on a journey through his career in television and radio, as well as how he first took to the West End stage aged just thirteen. Alex explains some of the more difficult situations he finds himself in whilst touring as Clinton, and how a changing audience can be problematic in the current era. We also discuss how the BBC can sometimes come across as patronising whilst trying to appear both inclusive and impartial, and why certain comedy references might not quite cut it with a younger crowd, especially if you name drop Judith Chalmers!

  • Today on The podcast we have 'friend of the pod' Stefania Licari popping in for a zoom-chat all about her process in preparing for the Edinburgh Fringe. Stefania lifts the lid on the moment that changed her life forever and set her on course to being a comedian, and why she is planning to diverge away from medical comedy. There isn't much telly chat this week, just a passing mention of E.R, but it's still an interesting listen nonetheless.

  • This week we welcome the beloved prankster, broadcaster and author Dom Joly to the podcast. I was lucky enough to talk to Dom backstage before one of his performances of 'The Conspiracy Tourist' whereby he opened up extensively about the trials and tribulations around his seminal Channel 4 show Trigger Happy TV, including scenes he couldn't air and having no control over the shoddy American remake. He also talks about how his follow up TV show 'This is Dom Joly' was painfully misunderstood, and how he really felt whilst participating in 'Celebrity Island with Bear Grylls'. Dom shares his love of Gogglebox and reality TV in general, and reveals how he'd still rather have made it as a musician than been successful in comedy. Dom now finds joy in travelling and writing his books, the latest of which deals with the growing problem of online Conspiracy theories including why some people think Finland might not actually exist.

  • This week's guest is the multi-talented writer Giles Paley-Phillips who chats about his various projects, including his film company, writing career and his many podcasts. We find plenty of common ground along the way including the difficulty in finding time to read, writing to a soundtrack, and even being at the same Glastonbury Festival, although Giles was performing whilst I was a mere punter. We also discuss the annoyance of having to rely on social media whether we like it or not, and how influencers are gaining power over the commissioning of new TV projects. Giles shares his love for Columbo and his disdain for the resurgence of game shows, while I somehow raise the topics of MAFS and Naked Attraction yet again, but come on, how can I not?
