A captivating comic with enormous mass appeal, Jimeoin has built a career across the UK and Australia, dancing lightly through absolute silliness and rock solid punchlines. We talk backstage after his barnstorming Edinburgh show about harnessing daftness, the creative benefits of sitting alone in a dark room and how easy it is to become a monster when you get your own TV show at 24 years old...

It’s episode 100 of the podcast and Stu’s been saving this one up! If you’ve donated in the last few months you’ll have heard this one as a sneaky pre-release but here it is for the rest of us…
Phil Kay is a force of nature. Not a metaphorical one; an actual force of nature. “The guy that speaks really fast until it goes wrong” waxes sagacious about staying in the bit that works, no longer being appropriate to the bullets, and most importantly of all believing in belief.
Phil’s autobiography “The Wholly Viable” is available online now and you’d be an idiot to miss it.

Claudia O’Doherty is a genuine comedy pioneer, who uses high concepts and holograms in order to have fun behaving like a dickhead.
We talk about the inspiration behind topics like ocean research or soil erosion, and how she manages to make such esoteria properly funny, as well as why both clowns and standups are jerks.

A recipe for a happy life as a comic? Kerry Godliman is a superb observationalist, and a tremendous comic actor.
She shares her philosophy on writing, gigging and how to achieve a positive work-life balance, as well as delving into why she’s never been afraid to scratch a living.  We also discuss positive discrimination, covens of rage, and why wahwah is way better than flimflam…

Hannibal Buress was described by Chris Rock as “the funniest young comic i’ve seen in years”.
In this Edinburgh Fringe show he talks to us about working on Saturday Night Live and 30Rock, and goes into detail on his own process, performance, and why he won’t give up on the “penguin meat” bit…

Alan Davies is best known in the UK as a panellist on QI and as the star of Jonathan Creek, but he’s recently returned to his roots as a superb observational stand up.
In this live show from the Gilded Balloon, he describes in detail his process for turning notes into jokes, and how he goes about structuring a tour show. He also reads from some of his old comedy notebooks, and explores why theatre people have it easy…

In this show, recorded live at the Gilded Balloon during the Edinburgh Fringe, pioneering comedian Sara Pascoe talks at length about her writing methods and quite unique career goals.
Resourceful, articulate and extremely funny, she explores how her entire life turned out to be an unknowing training-camp for stand-up, also sharing the contents of her notebook, and how she might unpack some of her new ideas…
