Jordan Brookes Look at What You've Done

This week my guest is Lucy Beaumont, a stand-up, actor and writer who first came to people's attention when she won the BBC New Comedy Award. Since then she's appeared on all sorts of tv shows, most notably Meet The Richardsons, a hugely popular sort-of reality show about life with husband and fellow comic Jon Richardson. In this episode we talk about her one-time teenage regret, her refusal to be added to her university's hall of fame, and the almost-but-not-quite-collapse of her marriage.

My guest this time is Darren Harriott. His TV credits are vast and they include Live At The Apollo, The Last Leg, and recently on British As Folk on Dave. He was also nominated for the Edinburgh comedy award the same year I won it, and I'm terrible so, that's gotta sting. In this we talked about being overfed by his mum, starting a street gang, and a catastrophic social faux pas in Japan.Look At What You've Done Is a BBC studios production For UKTVProducer: Bríd Kirby at IAM Executive Producer: Pete Strauss at BBC StudiosSound Designer: Ciaran Clarke Hosted on Acast.

This week my guest is Desiree Burch. She's a US born comic who came to the UK and won the Funny Women award in 2015. Since then, she's been all over the telly, appearing on the likes of The Mash Report, Frankie Boyle's New World Order, and 8 Out of 10 Cats. In this episode we talk about her horror-film fuelled upbringing, what she's learned about life and love, and her resultant disastrous attempt to monetise that wisdom.

This week I talk to Nick Helm, whose brash and unpredictable performances saw him quickly rise from the open mic circuit to industry favourite. Since then he's starred in TV shows like Loaded and Uncle, won numerous awards and even released a few albums. In this episode we talk about his early experiences of living with a mysterious door in the house, his wise thoughts on comedy, and the fatal consequences of doing too many live shows year after year.Look At What You've Done Is a BBC studios production For UKTVProducer: Bríd Kirby at IAM Executive Producer: Pete Strauss at BBC StudiosSound Designer: Ciaran Clarke Hosted on Acast.

This week I'm joined by Jamali Maddix, who you will have seen on all sorts of stuff including Taskmaster, Hypothetical, the reboot of Never Mind The Buzzcocks and the hugely acclaimed Hate Thy Neighbour. In this we talk about his early life as precociously hairy teen, finding his purpose in life, and the ultimately fatal idolising of his favourite comedians.

This week I chat to Maisie Adam, who's quickly become a firm favourite on shows like Mock The Week, Live At The Apollo, and probably some others too. She's one of those rare comics who other comics see doing well and feel genuinely pleased for.In this episode, we talk about her early struggles with unrequited love, her annoyingly hot brother, and her operatically complicated marriage in later years.Look At What You've Done Is a BBC studios production For UKTVProducer: Bríd Kirby at IAM Executive Producer: Pete Strauss at BBC StudiosSound Designer: Ciaran Clarke Hosted on Acast.

This week it's Rachel Parris. You may know her from her hugely popular segments on The Mash Report. She's also a seasoned improviser and musician, founding the award-winning live improv show Austentatious. In this episode we talk about her early love for performance, her forever unreleased classical music album, and her son's literally violent refusal to follow in her footsteps.Look At What You've Done Is a BBC studios production For UKTVProducer: Bríd Kirby at IAM Executive Producer: Pete Strauss at BBC StudiosSound Designer: Ciaran Clarke Hosted on Acast.

This week I'm chatting to Rosie Jones, who's rise to stardom has been astronomic, and catastrophic to those who know her, cos she's even more insufferable to be around now. I love her dearly, and in this episode we talk about her let's say…uncomfortable birth, getting hammered in her hometown, and her eventual foray into building an obscene gambling empire.

This week it's Fern Brady, a stand-up who's appeared on shows like 8 out of 10 cats and live at the Apollo, co-hosted hugely successful podcast Wheel of Misfortune, and was recently in a travelogue show on Dave called British As Folk alongside Ivo Graham and Darren Harriott. She's also written her first book, a memoir due out in 2023. In this episode we talk about growing up with a moustache, the frankly absurd number of jobs she did before comedy, and the supplementary money spinner that eventually resulted in her death.Look At What You've Done Is a BBC studios production For UKTVProducer: Bríd Kirby at IAM Executive Producer: Pete Strauss at BBC StudiosSound Designer: Ciaran Clarke Hosted on Acast.

My guest this time is Marcus Brigstocke. He's a huge comedy force. He's been performing since the early nineties and in sellout live shows including in the West End, he's a regular on Radio 4 and TV on shows like Have I got news for you, QI and Argumental. Here we talked about his turbulent teenage life, his now decades-long sobriety, and the closest he came to a very public relapse.Look At What You've Done Is a BBC studios production For UKTVProducer: Bríd Kirby at IAM Executive Producer: Pete Strauss at BBC StudiosSound Designer: Ciaran Clarke Hosted on Acast.
