A fitting guest for the Sestercentennial of the show, Simon "The Patrician" Evans was once Guest Zero - without him the podcast might not exist at all.  A touring and club powerhouse, and Radio 4 regular, his every line and inflection is a polished diamond.  We explore the grind necessary to achieve those results, discover the devilment beneath his political dalliances, and learn which TV comic pushed him to "adapt or die"...

Hear extra material from this conversation with Simon, as well as from Dara O'Briain, James Acaster and more, PLUS a load of other interactive comedy projects giving you more tailored direct advice on creating work.  Don't miss out, download the private "Insiders Club" podcast at www.comedianscomedian.com/insiders

Anuvab Pal is one of a new generation, exploding out of India's relatively recent "comedy Big Bang".  This disarming, witty act reveals how hard he finds it to embrace the Western "free thought" approach to learning, and waxes lyrical on the difference between art and "retail entertainment", as well as giving us the low-down on who to watch out for in Indian comedy...

Sophie is a hurricane of comedy in action. Possessed of a singular voice, she focuses her wit on genuinely important subject matter, including the cuts to social and mental health care services.  We talk about obtaining government funding for her comedy tours, the "politics of politeness", and what happens after the conversation about class in comedy...   Hear extra material from this conversation with Sophie, as well as extras from Russell Howard, James Acaster and more, plus a load of other interactive comedy projects...
