Cereals is just a few days away, having missed it last year, what's in store at Boothby Graffoe at the end of the month? We'll discuss the UK/Australia trade deal and have some advice for visitors to next week's Open Farm Sunday.

In this episode, I talk to the wonderful musical comedian BOOTHBY GRAFFOE about his comedy career. Graffoe is a comedian, singer songwriter and playwright.  He is particularly known for his surreal sense of humour and I have been a fan for years.  I first saw him at The Stand Comedy Club at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2005 where he had the audience singing different parts of his song Baseball Playing Spiders to brilliant comic effect.  He has released several brilliant CDs which so many catchy tunes with bizarre lyrics.  It is always a joy to see him perform and in 2021, I was a regular every Thursday at his online show Songs and Stories. Thanks so much for listening to my podcast, if you like what you hear, please subscribe and I hope you enjoy the interview.

S2 E10: Boothby Graffoe should have been performing a sold out on opening night of my comedy festival, WEST DIDSBURY COMEDY FESTIVAL. Now for obvious reasons the festival could not go ahead, so rather than be beaten completely we teamed up with Jokepit.com and EVO Didsbury to put a mini version of the festival live and online. The audio here is from the live stream, so there are a couple of occasions when we are clearly chatting about something visual. However, this was just too good not share from one of the very best in the business. We even get some songs too! To fill in the gaps head to https://www.facebook.com/westdidscomfest and watch this video plus other shows that went out over festival weekend. ENJOY! If you don’t know Boothby here are just a few quotes about his greatness! ‘A musical comedy act who is more musical than most musicians, and funnier than most comedians.' - Stewart Lee 'If I had to compare him to anyone, it would be Spike Milligan.' - Omid Djalili "Sings songs that are both beautiful and funny" - The Guardian "...it's not fair to call them comedy songs, they are much more than that, there are some i would dare to call genius." -The Times "Buy two copies of his cd because you'll want to share but you won't want to give it away." -The Scotsman "No more music maestro, please!" -The Independent "It's gloriously entertaining and creative stuff, with surreal leaps of imagination, twists of language and intelligent and pithy one-liners all intertwined with poignant yet often hilarious songs and music." --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/pullbackreveal/message

Merry Christmas JerkOffs, or however you celebrated the holiday. Sorry for the delay but we're back with a banger.  Jarred Christmas (@jarredchristmas) joins me, a good name for a good man. One of the first comedians from New Zealand to move to the UK, seen all over the TV and live circuit, he's one of the good guys and a pleasure to chat to about how it used to be moving over here. He kicks off with a quick review of Aquaman (hint: he didn't buy it), then talks his Dad never taking a sick day, having a rusty haka, seeing Adam Hills, Adam Bloom, Boothby Graffoe, Johnny Vegas & Mighty Boosh in one day at Melbourne International Comedy Festival, being a charity mugger before people hated them, why Australia is too big to be loyal, the rise of Flight of the Conchords, how being a Kiwi helped him in the UK and getting a parking ticket to listen to the All Blacks. Also, I was completely wrong about Sam Neill, he's from New Zealand and still lives in New Zealand. My bad. Please do leave a review or get in touch, I'm on Twitter & Instagram @danmuggleton or you can email me at muggletondaniel@gmail.com.  Next Australian Comedians / Dope Comedy is January 6th, and you can buy tickets here - and my special launch party is January 8th and you can get tickets here.  If you're after my special, you can pre-order it on my website www.danielmuggleton.com or if you're in Australia you need this link here: http://bit.ly/2PVOjNL
