148 – Aisling Bea (Live at the Edinburgh Fringe)

106 – Thom Tuck

A wilfully preposterous boozehound in a pashmina, Thom Tuck is a superbly theatrical stand-up, one third of fringe-conquering sketch outfit The Penny Dreadfuls, and co-ringmaster of The Alternative Comedy Memorial Society.
We delve into the challenges of developing a festival-friendly solo act for the live circuit, and discuss whether his commitment to character is ever a cage. He also reveals a surprising anger…

74 – Claudia O’Doherty (Live)

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.

71 – Kerry Godliman

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…

65 – Nick Helm (Live)

Nick Helm grunts and sweats his way through a hilarious hurricane of jokes, songs, poetry and swearing, all the while undergoing a total emotional breakdown on stage.
We encounter the soft-spoken and articulate theatre-maker behind the heavy metal mask, exploring how he structures his epic shows, the origin of his bombast, and his feelings on his starring role in BBC3’s “Uncle”.
