Welcome!

Hello, I’m Stuart Goldsmith.  I interview the funniest people in the world, and ask them in depth about how they do it, and how they cope with the challenges of a creative life.

I’ve spoken with over 400 comics; people like Jimmy Carr, James Acaster, Stewart Lee, Sarah Millican, Sindhu Vee and Russell Howard.

It’s “absolutely riveting” (Guardian) and “recommended” listening (Ricky Gervais).

Listen to the show on Apple, Google or Spotify, or find it wherever you listen to podcasts!
