In this episode I discuss the landmark ruling on the definition of female and the distinction with gender (I know! COMEDY GOLDMINE). I look at the judge's patronising summing up and the News at Ten's Tom Bradby spitting the dummy. I also talk about how politicians like Starmer continue to speak out of both sides of their mouth.

On this episode we talk about one of the most prolific and brutal killers in US history and a guy who got his moniker The Scorecard Killer from a macabre list of nicknames he had for his many victims; this episode is all about Randy Kraft. Joining me on this episode is comedian Ger Staunton; international comedy powerhouse and fellow Mayo man :) Ger and I discuss these heinous crimes and what drives someone to commit such horrific sexual attacks on so many young men. Craft operated in the prolific serial killer atmosphere of the 70s and 80s where it seemed all bets were off for catching murderers. There is estimates of up to 70 victims that Kraft cruelly dispatched but he was only found guilty for very few of these; and we discuss the ones we know about here. Acknowledgment to Murder, Murder, Murder (dot) com and Dennis McDougal author of Angel of Darkness for the nitty gritty on this one. Not a whole lot else online on this fella but both of these sources nail it pretty well.

It was a Saturday morning when a local man out jogging on White Strand in Cahersiveen, Co Kerry, made the grisly discovery of the body of a baby boy. The date was April 14, 1984, and the infant was confirmed to be dead. He had been stabbed multiple times before he was put in a plastic bag and left on the beach, just outside Cahersiveen. What would ensue would prove to be one of the most important socio-political moments in Ireland’s modern history, a moment when accusations of infanticide abounded, sexual histories became media fodder, women’s rights were placed at the fore of a judicial inquiry, and fantastical Garda theories came thick and fast.

http://thecomedycast.com/ Hello and welcome back to The Comedy Cast; today you’ll be hearing from Irish stand-up comedian, Ger Staunton. We kick off the interview and we speak about an Edinburgh preview show Ger had just performed in London along with previous Comedy Cast guest Danny O'Brien. I ask him about the nature of preview shows and about how much a set will change from the previews to the actual Edinburgh set. We speak too about learning to be critical of your work and how sometimes it doesn't matter what you think of a bit, it's the audience that are the best judge of new material. We speak about Ger's podcast with former Comedy Cast guest Martin Angolo, Canary in a Comedy Goldmine, where Martin tests out new material on Ger. It's a brilliant podcast and I urge you all to subscribe, the lads are hilarious together. I tell Ger that I get the impression for other comedians in Dublin that he's somewhat looked up to, but he reveals it's not because of his talent as a comedian... We speak about Ger's job of being a video editor for live sporting events and some short films he'd made in the past in particular Bealtaine, a short about an old neighbour who brought back a dying tradition to Mayo. We talk then about how and why Ger got into comedy. Ger's speaks then about putting the foot down in comedy recently and about how the more you put into performing regularly the more you'll get out of it. We speak about the comedy scene in Dublin, the advantages and disadvantages to gigging to a lot of tourists and people who don't regularly attend comedy and how as new comics you have to be willing to work hard and do the small gigs before getting the bigger ones.

Shortened version of the song featured in the election special of Canary in a Comedy Goldmine about the time spent as the current British Prime Minister.

This episode is drawn straight from the Comedy Goldmine threads from the Something Awful archives. It features en-edited confessions that were sent in anonymously by the members of the Something Awful forums. I hope you enjoy it. The titles pretty much says it all! On and by the way….
