Sooz is utterly hilarious and it was so much fun having her on the podcast. We talked about (amongst other things) Playstation, Reply Guys and Jerry Springer: The Opera. If you missed it the first time, check it out now!
Back to the Archives and for once we are choosing a clip from one of our regular sections where Alex asks his guest:
If you had to isolate with any TV comedy character, who would it be?
In Episode 32, here is the answer which @soozuk.bsky.social gave. How many of you would agree with her? (1/3)

One new TV show I watched recently which I thoroughly enjoyed was HAZBIN HOTEL. An animated adult musical comedy about a redemption hotel in Hell. The songs are excellent and it absolutely wouldn't be nearly as good a show without them. (1/2)

As you'll hear from the episode, Brendan's show with Jenny Bede was the first Edinburgh show I ever saw. I have seen a great deal of his work since and have worked with him too, an incredibly funny and generous performer. We had a marvellous chat and it was really nice to talk about Buffy too!
Oh look! It's Episode 63! And who is that? Why it's our special guest BRENDAN MURPHY (@notmurphy.bsky.social). Alex spoke to Brendan about bags, Buffy and bleach-blonde hair. Listen whilst you're enjoying a coffee or 'Out. For. A. Walk... Bitch' (as the kids say, IYKYK).

Absolutely terrific show! The script by Isley Lynn & Libby Rodliffe is so sharp and funny and Rodliffe's multi-character performance is incredible. She holds you for the full 90 mins and doesn't waver for a moment. I highly recommend you go see JOBSWORTH! parktheatre.co.uk/events/jobsw...

Even with three full-time jobs, Bea’s still financially f*cked. Can she get herself out of the red and into the black? Or will the plates she’s spinning come crashing down around her? A riotous comedy...

I have worked with Terry a couple of times, he's a lovely guy and I've always really admired how honest and open he is about his craft. He was also the first impressionist I had guesting on the podcast and it was fascinating to hear him talk about that side of comedy. Give it a listen!
'That was the first time'. Next up in the Archives is Episode 31 - my chat with the man, the myth, the mimic, @terrymynott.bsky.social. Here is an example from him of how you can go about trying to capture and refine an impression. (1/2)

I was very fortunate to lock in this recording just weeks before Róisín had her baby (🎉). I had previously met her and Chiara separately but this was the first time the three of us had properly chatted together and it was bloody lovely!
Episode 62 has hatched and our special guests are Róisín & Chiara. In this online three-way, Alex spoke to the comedy duo about art college, Italian comics, fancying Blackadder, and allowing their 'freak flag' to fly. Listen and find out why the two of them can no longer have s'mores... (1/2)

Halloween week! Here is what I chose for my spooky viewing (as well as a repeat screening of both The Wicker Man and The Fog). Coincidentally, all of these were to do with being kept in horrific houses. I didn't plan that. It was the demons.

Lee is an absolute king when it comes to sketch comedy - in writing, performing, teaching and championing it.
