The Comedian's Tea Party with Si Deaves

Hello, my little tea bags, It's lovely to see you all back and it's lovely to be back, myself. I bring to you, on this fine day, Greg Winfield. We had a lovely chat during the first week of my tour while I was in Bristol. It was as mad as it was funny and I can't wait for you to hear it. As ever, I forgot to ask you all to drop the show 5 stars and tell your friends, but hopefully that's a given at this point, but still, it's worth asking. Head to linktr.ee/sideaves to find out where I'm on tour and where to get tickets. I've got to rush out the door, so no prattling on for me. But thanks for listening, I love you all and will see you soon. Si X

Hello everybody, Welcome to this short ramble that's not a proper episode. This is coming out now to tell you all about my special, Si-Clops, which will be available on YouTube (or to buy, but listen in for that) as of 6pm (GMT) tomorrow. After 6pm tomorrow you can click HERE to watch it, or head to sideaves.com to see more. This is short and sweet as I'm off to look at some Christmas lights with my tiny baby daughter. See you all very soon, thanks for listening. I love you all, Si X

Hello Teaverybody ... No? Welcome back and apologies for yet another break, I do explain where I've been in the intro ... It's been a busy old time. But this week I have for you the absolutely delightful Matt Hoss, comedian, podcaster and promoter. We talk about all sorts from the psychology of comedy, to Matt's niche taste in tea, as well as my love for Essex Tea and anything else that The Cornish Tea Company produce. Seriously, they don't pay me, but they could and they should. If you listen to this in time and hear about next week's show, or if you don't and you just read the show description in time, then don't forget to come down to Twenty One in Southend on the 6th of November (2023) to see me record my first ever special of my last tour show, Si-Clops, before I put it to bed and prepare to tour Best Thing Ever, which is my first proper tour, kicking off in Feb 2024. You can buy tickets and/or just support the recording via the Kickstarter here. And if you want to find out more about my upcoming tour, it will all be officially announced very soon, though if you do want to Google 'Si Deaves - Best Thing Ever', then some tickets are already on sale ... otherwise, keep an eye on my social media, my website, or just on the Linktree. Until the next time, though, thanks for listening. Drink tea and be good to each other. Also, rate the podcast 5 stars. I love you, Goodbye. Si X

Hello my lovely teaviants, I'm starting to get some level of regularity to when I'm posting episodes. Let's hope I can keep it up. This week I bring to you the delightful lad that is Ben Lund Conlon. A lovely comedian, tea enthusiast and Buffy nerd. We discuss all sorts from Harry Potter and our serf and terfdom, we discuss show namesm Steve Pretty, the trumpet player for the Hackney Colliery Band, Ben's strict tea schedule and Douglas Adams. We also try to learn Welsh. Ben drinks some tea from The Rare Tea Company and I drink some Essex Tea 'Saxon Brew'. It's properly about tea in this episode. As well as comedy, of course, but there's so much tea chat, too, it's delightful. We discuss Ben's upcoming tour, which is starting soon and tickets for that can be found at benlundconlon.com. It's a hell of an episode, so why not rate the whole podcast 5 stars wherever you get your podcasts and tell all your friends about it? Oh, thanks very much. Get it in your ears, put some tea in your gob, be good to each other. I'll see you soon. Much love, Si X

Welcome back, Tealings, Say hello to the wonderful Kathryn Mather, she's a great comedian and a lovely person and makes for a very fun chat. We talk all kinds of nonsense from genocide to love, relationships, happiness, dead birds and our zombie apocalypse plans. You can find her across social media as @KathMathCom and you can find all things podcast and Si Deaves at linktr.ee/sideaves. Don't forget to rate the podcast 5 stars, tell your friends, like and share the posts and generally be a legend, also come and see me on tour when that's a thing and let me know if there's anywhere in particular you want me to visit. There's a lot of exciting news to come as well as a lot of exciting guests and just generally exciting times to be me, so that's wonderful. I look forward to updating many of you on that soon. But until then, be good, drink tea, love yourselves and each other. Much love, Si X

Hello all, Welcome back and apologies for my absence just as I was getting back into the swing of it. I had a malfunction with some recording hardware and it's taken them weeks to send me a replacement. Oh the joy. BUT, in this very funny episode I return with Kate McGann, a wonderful comedian and a very funny woman, indeed. We talk about all sorts from her time on Take Me Out with Paddy McGuinness, to the unlikely connection between my dad and Francis Bourgeois. We discuss her new husband, Rich Wilson, and her new podcast, Nevermind The Age Gap, bringing Philip Schofield briefly into the conversation, as well as the incredible musical The Scottboro Boys. If you're in, near or willing to travel to Worthing THIS THURSDAY the 13TH OF JULY, I'm bringing my tour show, Si-Clops to The Cellar Arts Club. Tickets and plenty of other important links can be found via linktr.ee/sideaves That is also the link where eventually you can find the link to the Patreon, which is finally definitely happening, I'm collating content as we speak. Right, I think that's everything. We're back on track. Back to normal. Thanks for listening, downloading, giving us a 5 star review and telling all your friends about the podcast. I'll see you all soon. I love you. Si X

Hello everyone, We're back, this time it's an episode I recorded this year. Not just this year, but this week. What a fun episode it is, indeed. I talk to Rob Mulholland from the Dead Men Talking podcast about all sorts, from his new special, to the importance of comedians sharing each other's content, what he  really wants for Christmas and his love of Marcelo Bielsa amongst much more. You'll hear me talk about a show that I'm doing "today" as the first show of my tour and, depending when you read this, that was actually yesterday and even though the podcast was finished and ready to go out I completely forgot to upload it to the internet, like an idiot. HOWEVER, you can catch me on tour SOON, so go to linktr.ee/sideaves to find where I am and to get tickets, INCLUDING my second date of Brighton Fringe on the 28th of May, for which tickets are still remaining. You can find Rob online everywhere via @robmulholland and don't forget to keep an eye out on YouTube for Born Ready, his recently recorded special which is coming out on the [insert number here] of [insert month here] ... Just keep an eye on Rob's socials and he'll tell you. Don't forget to drop a 5 star rating and a review on iTunes, or wherever you rate your podcasts these days and keep an eye out on my behind the scenes at gigs Patreon content that I've finally started to record. It's like Backstage with Katherine Ryan, but what backstage is actually like for most comedians and I'll talk about the gig before and after with the comedians I am gigging with. It should be a blast and hopefully something people are interested in. There'll be a new episode soon with an influx of recordings scheduled in for the near future with a series of incredible comedians. Until the next time, thanks for listening, be good to each other, drink tea. I love you, good night/morning/day. Si X

Hello one and all, This is now the third time I'm trying to upload this episode, last night Podbean decided to delete it without telling me and my computer just crashed, so if it doesn't work this time then I'm just going to burn my laptop and nobody can hear it. Thank you all so much for downloading the last episode with Paul Schiernecker and for the positive feedback, especially after being away for so long. It was a wonderfully fun episode and it's lovely to be back. Speaking of a fun episode, this one is an absolute doozy, we have the first (sort of) returning guest in the wonderful Matthew Crosby. If you don't know Matthew then I'm not really sure what you've been doing with your life but you've been missing out. He's the host and landlord of Pappy's Flatshare Slamdown (as well as just a part of Pappy's, whose output you really need to deep dive into), he's on Radio  X every Sunday with Ed Gamble and writes for and creates some incredible TV shows, like Hypothetical and The Last Leg We talk about so much, from pegging,  Whoopi Goldberg (I do hope you saw the comma there, that comma is important), his trumpet playing skills and so much more. The next episode that's out will be CURRENT, actually recorded recently (so recent that I haven't recorded it yet). So check that out in 2 weeks and in the mean time go and find out where you can find me ON TOUR. I'll be honest, there aren't many places yet, but the soonest you can come and see Si-Clops will be at Brighton Fringe this month on the 18th or 28th at Presuming Ed's. Ticket links for those dates, when they're available, can be found at linktre.ee/sideaves or just via sideaves.com. Don't forget to tell your friends about the podcast and drop it a 5 star review wherever you can. Thanks for listening, enjoy the episode, drink a tea. I love you, see you next time. Si X

Hello one and all, Thank you so much for returning after my unexpected hiatus. A number of extenuating circumstances contributed to the break, which I briefly mention in the intro, but rest assured, I also cover them in my new show, Best Thing Ever, which you can find dates for when I'm performing it either at sideaves.com or at linktr.ee/sideaves. In this episode I have author, improviser, musician, a now stand-up comedian and good friend, Paul Schiernecker. He's as talented as he is lovely and we have a very, very fun conversation over this hour. We discuss his brother, the potential psychopath, koala criminals, Julia Fox and much more. Have a look on Amazon for his books, or you can otherwise find him online at; T - @schierneckeretc I - @schierneckeretc or just Google him, there aren't many Paul Schierneckers, you'll definitely find him. I've got a wonderful episode with Matthew Crosby ready to go and some great guests lined up for after that, but in the mean time, enjoy this one, share it about, or if you don't want to do that drop the pod a 5 star review, it would mean the world to me. Until the next time, Be good, drink tea, be kind. I love you all, Si X

Hello everybody,   There's been a bit of a gap, I know, but I'm coming back and I'm going to be regular, I've already got episodes recorded with author and improviser, Paul Schiernecker, and THE FIRST RETURNING GUEST Matthew Crosby off of Pappy's and the radio where he has a show with Ed Gamble on Radio X. I also have records lined up with some incredible comedians, including the likes of comedy hero and podcast legend, Michael Legge, and a few other secret guests who I can't really announce yet, but they are ALL over the place, so I'm excited about that, too.   I'm going to be bringing out some bonus content for Patreon, as well as developing the very long discussed merch, so it's exciting times in the Tea Party camp.   Episode one of series two (or as I'll be referring to it, episode 53) will be landing on your doorsteps on WEDNESDAY MORNING, so subscribe and tell your friends.   I'm excited to be back!   Go HERE for details of upcoming shows, including TOUR DATES, and other places you can find me and the podcast.   Much love, Si X

Good day tea drinkers, I hope you're all well and thanks for downloading the podcast! This week I have for you comedian and movie star extraordinaire, Mike Sheer. It's a very fun and silly chat with a lovely pal and comedian. We talk about all sorts of nonsense and learn a surprising amount of things too. This is normally a conversation between 2 people having a nice time who don't really know much better, but this time we had some people in the background who were more knowledgeable as we were recording before a show for Knickers Theatre in Southend. A gig at which a lovely evening was had by all. You can find Mike online at mikesheer.net Then you can find all things Tea Party and Si Deaves at my Linktree. Don't forget to drop us a 5 star review, tell your friends how much you love the show, share the podcast and, if you want, get in touch at tpartypod@gmail.com to say hello or correct us on some of the nonsense we've spouted. Until the next time, be good, drink tea, spread love. Si X

Hello, belated happy Christmas and a current happy new year, Welcome to this 50th episode, the Christmas 2021 episode (a bit late), with Rachel Creeger, comedian, podcaster, writer and director.

You can find her online by searching @RachCreeger on all of the platforms, or at rachelcreeger.com or search for "Jew Talkin' To Me" wherever you get your podcasts (presumably where you're listening to this one).

Hello tea fans, Welcome back and I hope you're all very well, indeed! This episode I talk to Matt Green who you may have seen in an advert with Harvey Keitel, stealing Crunchy Nut Bites from customers in a supermarket or from one of my favourite TV shows, Garth Marenghi's Dark Place (he's also been in loads of other stuff, he's a very talented man, but those are my favourites) and now you'll know him as that guy that was on Si Deaves' podcast, right?

Hello my lovely tea bags, I've had a bit of a hiatus, apologies, but I have been supremely busy, but I'm back now and ... Well, not better than ever, but just as good. This is a lovely episode with my good friend Rob Glenister, a computer game music composer and sound designer, as Wob Wob Rob, and occasional stand-up and improviser. It's a very fun and interesting conversation and I'm glad to finally bring it to your ears. We talk about all sorts, from picnics to Rob's time on dating shows and loads of stuff in between. Find him online by searching Wob Wob Rob, which is his regular handle. Also find the podcast online by searching @tpartypod on anything you want (it won't necessarily be there, but if it is, it's under that handle). Buy tickets for my Leicester Comedy Festival show, Si-Clops, which I'll find a link for for the next episode, but in the mean time use the power of Google. Thanks so much for sticking with me, I'll see you soon. Much love, Si X

Hello one and all,  I hope you're all very well, indeed on this lovely sunny day (or whatever the weather is like on the day that you read this).  Welcome to this episode with Jake Pickford, a lovely comedian who I've known since the early days. A lovely guy and very funny to boot.  We talk about some mad subjects such as starting cults (which we accidentally manage by the end of the podcast), monopoly, why singers get into football, gaming and the need for its themes to be updated, rabbits and which came first, the chicken or the egg, which leads to a conversation about evolution and may well answer that age old question.  It's a very fun episode indeed, so my apologies for my delay in bringing it to you, I've been wildly busy writing shows and watching football (who'd have ever thought it), but mostly writing my new show Si-Clops, dates for which you can find at sideaves.com.  Don't forget, it's never too late to donate to help support the podcast over at ko-fi.com/sideaves. You can find Jake online at; T(witch) - @JakeWantsToPlay I - @JakePickford T - @JakePickford F - @MrJakePickford W - @JakePickford.com And find the podcast's socials at; I - @tpartypod T - @tpartypod F - The Comedian's Tea Party W - sideaves.com/tpartypod Thanks for tuning in everyone, I'll see you in a couple of weeks.

Good day my loves and welcome to the episode.  This week I have the wonderful comedian and co-host of the podcast Eyre-Leigh Doors, Pauline Eyre, who is NOT, apparently, the 'fictionary'™️ sister of Jane Eyre. Who knew.  This week we talk about how she doesn't like tea and, upsettingly, doesn't drink any on the episode, we discuss her connection to Radiohead (I'm so jealous and watching them on TV as I type this) and some surprisingly good chips.  It's a very fun episode, indeed.  If you want to support the podcast and show your enjoyment in a tangible way, then head on over to the link below to drop a donation, or set up a recurring donation, if you want, for as much as you want.

She tells me about her time in the ring and its similarities to stand-up, including paying her school bully to get people to punch her in the face. We also talk about working during the lockdown and her want for a garden in case of another one.

Good morrow, merry Teavians. Welcome to this episode with Matthew Crosby, it's a ruddy good one. I have some (loads of them) technical difficulties, which I do get ironed out in the end, but my word, I felt sick for a moment. Anyway, it all worked out as Matthew was very generous with his time and we got on famously and, I suspect could have talked all day given the opportunity. I'll put it here before you read on to the all important social links, in response to not finding much work elsewhere at the minute, I'm putting myself on Fiverr to offer my services as a podcast editor, a session drummer and a voice over artist, so if you need anyone to do any of those things, hit me up via the below link or any of my socials, however you want! fiverr.com/sideaves So, go and check out Matthew online at; T - @matthewcrosby I - @matthewcrosby1 Podcasts - Go and search for Pappy's  to find all things Pappy's, who are incredible and also listen to his radio show with Ed Gamble on Radio X 8am-11am Sunday Mornings, which is also available as a podcast from where you get yours.

Good day, my lovely tea leaves. I'm absolutely delighted to bring you this chat with Luke Branch of Asylums and Cool Thing Records. It's loads of fun, has loads of insight and loads of nonsense. You'll love it. Come and find out what Luke wears in the summer and what he dips in his tea. It's bizarre. Also find out which part of him he'd most like to evaporate first. If you hear any weird noises in the background during the recording, there were LOADS of fireworks. Possibly to celebrate the second lockdown, possibly for Biden, possibly because it was a Wednesday, possibly because it was the night before fireworks night, who knows. But that's what it is. You can go and see more of Asylums at; I - @AsylumsUK T - @AsylumsBand W - coolthingrecords.com And please go and like, subscribe and share all things Tea Party at; I - @TPartyPod T - @TPartyPod F - The Comedian's Tea Party Big love to you all, thanks for listening, drink tea.

Hello, my lovely tea lights. I hope you're all well. I've been slow bringing this one out because I've had to take on a temp job so that I'm allowed to keep living in my house, but we're here now and the wait was worth it, because what an episode!

As well as finding out his opinions on farts. It's not one to be missed. Speaking of Joz being funny, he's here to plug his live streamed film that is running all of next week, 20th-26th July 2020, of what he adapted his now defunct 2020 Edinburgh Fringe show, You Build The Thing You Think You Are, into, he's also going to be having live chats with some absolutely stellar guests righ after the showing.

I have for your delectation a very fun episode, indeed, with the lovely Brennan Reece, who you may have seen in such shows/films as Live At The Apollo, The Stand Up Sketch Show Roast Battle, Three In A Bed, SoulBoy, but who you will never see in The Vessel. Brennan teaches me about Penguin straws and introduced me to almost his entire family, including his multi-poo. We talk about DIY in our new houses, we talk about kayaks and most importantly Brennan answers the age old question, are farts funny? You can find him online at; T - @BrennanReece I - @BrennanReece W - brennanreece.com And don't forget to find me at; T - @TPartyPod I - @TPartyPod F - The Comedian's Tea Party Go and check out Brennan's weekly comedy roasts via Hot Water Comedy Club And otherwise, be good to each other, yeah?

Greetings all, In this episode I talk to stand-up, actor and as I also learnt, improviser, Rosie Holt. It's a truly amusing episode and we laugh a lot. We discuss writing, performing and dating while in lockdown and how Rosie's not doing much of any of those. We also talk about Rosie's favourite sexist tea, which leads to some hilarious, but questionable conversation. Rosie also talks about politician "Jeffrey Rees-Mogg". This is also the first episode which has finally got some intro music, created, for a very nominal fee, by Mike Darrah on Fiverr. Look him up for your 30 second song needs at - https://www.fiverr.com/darrahsounds You can find out what Rosie's up to at; I - @rosieisaholt T - @rosieisaholt W - www.rosieholt.com and get in touch with me/give me a follow/like all my posts at; I - @tpartypod T - @tpartypod F - The Comedian's Tea Party As always, stay safe, stay home, wash your hands, don't suddenly move in with your elderly relatives, even if you do it "with integrity" Much Love, Si X

Good day to you, my tealights(? ... Does that work? Tea leaves? I'll work on it) I hope you're all well. Thanks for downloading and listening and checking out the podcast.

Good day, you beautiful creatures. I hope you're all doing well in the strangest of times. I had a panic attack this morning that stopped me from going for a run, so that's where I'm at... But no, I'm otherwise doing very well and I'm sure that would have happened regardless. This episode is one of my favourites of all time. I'm a huge fan of Jamie and his work and it was such a pleasure to get to talk to him in this chat. We discuss so, so many things of so many levels of interest, so you're in for a real treat. If you don't know who Jamie Lenman is, then do yourself a favour and look him and his work up, both his solo career and his work with Reuben, one of my favourite bands. He's very easily searchable "there's only one Jamie Lenman". You can otherwise find him on; I - @jamielenman T - @jamielenman W - jamielenman.com And as ever, please drop me a follow and some likes at; I - @tpartypod T - @tpartypod F - The Comedian's Tea Party And also, as I promised to my good pal Lewis, go and check out Calm These Tides by clicking on their name there, with their new single dropping on Spotify on the 8th of May.

Hello locked-down tea lovers. I hope you're all very well and having a lovely day. Hopefully those of you still working aren't too busy and those of you who aren't are having the best time you could be, given the restrictions. This is a properly lovely episode this week, quintessential Tea Party. I drink an 'Up Beet' tea from Teapigs and Damo has a Rooibos tea from East India Company. We talk about all sorts, from Ant-Man to falling in love with an algorithm and pooing as a billionaire and the Coronaissance. It's loads and loads of fun. Don't forget to go and check out Damo's show on Youtube, 'Grand Theft Damo' by clicking HERE.

Hello there, locked down tea drinkers! I hope you're all coping as well as you can be and enjoying the company of those who you're locked up with. Or if you're on your own, I hope you've got a PlayStation! This is the first of what I imagine may be quite a few episodes recorded during the Coronavirus lockdown of 2020, so we're talking via Skype, so the quality isn't of my usual standard, but I think it comes across okay. Either way it doesn't detract from how fun the chat was, talking about adjusting our lifestyles, regressing in our social media behaviour and even tackling anxiety. We're both drinking sleepy teas, mine was sent to me by Teapigs and Amy had one from Pukka Teas, supplied by her cupboard. Find her and her wonderful cartoons at; I - @amyfmatthews T - @amyfmatthews F - Amy Matthews Comedy W - amymatthewscomedy.com And as ever, please give me a follow and all of the likes at; I - @tpartypod T - @tpartypod  F - facebook.com/tpartypod Until the next time, please stay safe, stay home and stay happy. Much love, Si X

Greetings my lovely listeners, What a wild time in the world we are meeting. I hope you're all well, along with your loved ones. These are trying times and anxiety is high, so look after yourselves and each other. I hope you have some toilet paper and potatoes. A strange start to a blurb, but it's a strange time. Welcome to episode 18 with my friend and taxidermy & curiosities dealer and occasional improviser, James Cranfield. Or Cranfield to his friends. We cover a great many subjects from pigeon poop to Bottom and many things in between, I always plug social media accounts, but seriously, @thetaxidermist is really, really worth a follow, because his account and stories often have to be seen to be believed. You can also find him on Facebook by searching for Cranfield's Curiosity Cabinet and you can find him at his shop in Leigh-on-Sea. And don't forget to like and subscribe to the podcast give a lovely review and follow and just generally get in touch at - T - @tpartypod I - @tpartypod E - tpartypod@gmail.com The other account to take a look at, in the interest of spreading positivity, is @cals_book_account give him a follow, his story is heartwarming.

Good day my lovelies, thanks for making it back here. This one was a really great chat and I had loads of fun, Matt's stories were fascinating and we had a good laugh. I also left in one "bad" swear word because it is particularly worth it. Consider yourselves warned. We drank some lovely tea that Matt brought back from his trip from Russia, the reason behind his being in Russia is just one of many fascinating tales and another reason you should also listen to his podcast, Conversations With Criminals. I also had a bit of a breakdown in the intro and outro being distracted by the lovely *redacted*, but I left some bits in that I thought were funny. Don't forget to check Matt out on Twitter at @mattpricecomedian and also to Google him and find out when he's coming near to you so you can treat yourselves and see him live. And don't forget to like and subscribe to the podcast give a lovely review and follow and just generally get in touch at - T - @tpartypod I - @tpartypod E - tpartypod@gmail.com Enjoy the podcast. Be good each other. Have a little Tea. Si X
