Podcasts about alternative comedy memorial society

In this episode, I talk to the wonderful actor and comedian, THOM TUCK. Known for being one third of the comedy group, The Penny Dreadfuls who debuted at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2006, Tuck has appeared in and directed many plays and comedy shows.  An excellent improvise with extensive radio work, Tuck has founded (along with comedian John Luke Roberts), hosted and curated the Alternative Comedy Memorial Society, a cult evening of new comedy, since 2011. I have seen Tuck perform in the play Coalition at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2012, appearing several times in London for comedian Vix Leyton from 2020 to 2022, and hosting the Alternative Comedy Memorial Society in London and Edinburgh in 2020, 2023 and 2024.

Alternative Comedy Memorial Society (23:50, Heroes @ Monkey Barrel) Michael says: "At some point, we all have to go to a late night mixed-bill show and ACMS is the best one there is.

Copstick talks about him performing in her porn movies. “The one thing comedy can never be is smug” (Copstick) “The times I have done it, I have both got completely naked and been in a dress.” (Thom Tuck) http://www.grouchyclub.co.uk You can also download this audio podcast from iTunes https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/grouchy-clubs-mostly-about/id977279883 John Fleming posts occasional blogs at: http://blog.thejohnfleming.com

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.
