The star of “Arrested Development”, “Mr Show” and “The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret”, David Cross is also a phenomenal stand-up, whose work howls at the stupidity and hypocrisy around him.
In part one of this interview he talks about his earliest material and how he overcame the fear of bombing onstage, and speaks very frankly about the cycle of anger and depression that could grip him in his less creative moments…

Comments: No CommentsNew York-based former cabaret comic Adrienne Truscott is an articulate, passionate and hilarious new voice in stand-up.
Her “Asking For It” show won the panel prize at the Edinburgh Fringe for its abruptness, honesty and scathing wit. We discuss the vulnerability of performing naked, the responsibilities of freedom of speech, and how to cultivate silliness from fury…

Comments: No CommentsTerry Alderton is an electrifying comic, with extraordinary energy, passion and invention; he’s also one of the bravest performers I know.
