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).

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)

I've worked with James before and had seen many Beasts shows but this was the first time we'd properly sat down and chatted which was lovely. Enjoy!
We've hit 60 (Episode, not Birthday)! Our special guest to mark this remarkable occasion is JAMES MCNICHOLAS!
Alex spoke to James about Horrible Histories, sketch personas, and finally getting to show off his range via song lyrics. Listen and never hear Hanson's MMMBop in the same way again. (1/2)

Lee is an absolute king when it comes to sketch comedy - in writing, performing, teaching and championing it. He was one of the first people I met in sketch comedy, he's the loveliest man and he taught me one of the most valuable comedy writing exercises of my life. What was it? Listen and find out!
As we continue through the Archives, we reach Episode 28 and our conversation with Lee Griffiths. Here, we talk about his naked Miley Cyrus 'Wrecking Ball' parody in Late Night Gimp Fight and how he's now paying the price for it... (1/2)
