Podcasts about Comic relief

Things get delightfully unhinged as Lisa and Allison dive into a Comic Relief baking special packed with big personalities, chaotic energy, and bakes that range from surprisingly impressive to gloriously questionable. With celebrities in the kitchen and good causes at the heart of the episode, this one delivers laughs almost as often as the oven disasters.The Girls savor the playful spirit of the episode, celebrating the moments where enthusiasm triumphs over technique — and lovingly calling out the creations that may have looked better in theory than in practice. Between the comedic timing, ambitious decorating choices, and inevitable baking mishaps, there's no shortage of joyful chaos to unpack.Warm, witty, and wonderfully unserious, this episode is a reminder that sometimes the best baking television comes from people having fun, making a mess, and trying their absolute best anyway. So grab a treat and settle in for a special that's equal parts comedy, comfort, and buttercream.

Writer, comedian and producer Bob Zmuda has had a busy career, performing, writing and producing comedy specials, co-creating the charity Comic Relief and collaborating with the late (??) great comedian/performance artist Andy Kaufman. Gilbert and Frank rang up Bob at his house in Lake Tahoe to talk about (among other things) his early days as half of the comedy duo Albrecht & Zmuda, his role in bringing the Kaufman biopic “Man on the Moon” to the screen, his controversial new book about Andy's life, and his theory of how his old friend and collaborator pulled off the greatest hoax in comedy history. Also, Eddie Murphy takes a phone call, Tony Clifton (or was it Jim Carrey?) invades the Playboy mansion and Garth Brooks (almost) portrays Bob on the big screen.

(yeh, you're welcome!!)We've had a completely normal, and very sensible week on The Chris Moyles Show… said no one ever! Chris is back from his South African Safari, so obviously chaos resumes. We welcomed the Music Propstore gang, attempted to prank Dom (he's a tough one to crack!), and of course rolled out the big guns - Stupid Amnesty and Reverse Words. Proper highbrow stuff.And somehow amongst all that we still squeezed in three massive guests…Pop icon and friend of the show Melanie C popped in ahead of the release of her ninth studio album Sweat! With top goss on which Spice Girl tracks are her favourite and least favourite, and we even played a round of Reverse Words with her!!Sir Lenny Henry also joined us to chat about heading back on tour for the first time in 15 years - yes, FIFTEEN, and shared stories about what inspired his upcoming tour, plus a bit of Comic Relief chat too, of course!!Ralf Little and Will Mellor also burst into the studio, like two lads who'd had too much sugar. Will admitted he didn't understand Ralf's play (but at least he was trying to be supportive), and he confirmed he's basically become the voice of birds on TV adverts. Meanwhile, Ralf's off being talented and successful as the lead role in The Spy Who Came From The Cold.And as we love to spoil you, here's some extra bits from this week…The Captain Clump songPlace names with exclamation marksChris' new friend BryceEnjoy!The Chris Moyles Show on Radio X!Weekdays 6:30am - 10am

Hello, here's something a bit different for you, it's a mash up episode of Trve. Cvlt. Fvlm! and Trve. Crvp. Pop! as Sam and Steve look at the 2016 movie and soundtrack album of David Brent: Life on the Road, released on the 19th of August 2016.David Brent, of course, is the fictional character that was the focus of The Office, one of British comedies finest ever shows. After a mere two series and one Christmas special, that was about as perfect as television could be, the character was retired by creator Ricky Gervais after that, or so we thought. A decade after The Office, Gervais brought Brent back for a Comic Relief sketch and tour with his fictional band Foregone Conclusion. So successful was it that he decided to expand on the idea of Brent living out his rock star dreams with a full blown movie, showing his exploits out on tour.It made about half of its £10m budget back and was generally not that well received, but ten year's down the line, how does it hold up? And are we looking at the whole pie Jenny?

On this episode of It's Okay with Okey, Okey, Kolawole, and Senator take on global geopolitics, diving into the ongoing tensions between the United States, Israel, and Iran — breaking it down in a way that connects big world events to everyday understanding.From military escalation to the ripple effects on oil prices and global stability, the conversation highlights how complex these issues really are, while also calling out the dangers of political naivety and surface-level opinions in serious matters. But in true It's Okay with Okey fashion, the heavy talk never stays heavy for too long. Senator and Kolawole keep it lively with back-and-forth banter, witty interruptions, and comedic takes that turn global tension into relatable, laugh-out-loud moments.Insight meets humour. Serious issues, unserious delivery. Classic.

King Charles walks a coastal path, cracks jokes about e-bikes, and may or may not be well enough to visit Trump in April. William rides a tandem bicycle with a Radio One presenter and raises over a million pounds for Comic Relief. Kate wears the Diana tiara and quietly gives up drinking. Dame Sarah Mullally becomes the first female Archbishop of Canterbury in 1,400 years, and William shows up to make clear he's paying attention. Andrew's police investigation widens. His daughters' marriages are reportedly under strain. Sarah Ferguson denies planning a corgi cloning reality show, which means someone had to ask her about it. The City of York prepares to strip her of an honour. Prince Anne is heckled at Oxford and walks straight past. Tom Bower's new book lands like a grenade, with claims about collapsed brand audits, a Sentebale confrontation, and a $250,000 Balenciaga arrangement masterminded by Meghan herself. Netflix says everything is fine. Multiple sources say it is not. Meghan launches a $255 box containing flowers, honey, and a baguette that the internet could not leave alone.

Greg's incredible Comic Relief challenge reaches an incredible and at Murrayfield, Edinburgh. 1000 Km, 3 countries and a massive sum of money raised for Comic Relief.

In this week's show we answer three questions from Laurie, Joud and Sonny with help from special guest experts Emma Freud and Richard Curtis. Emma Freud and Richard Curtis founded Red Nose Day and Comic Relief 35 years ago with comedian Lenny Henry. They tell us why we wear red noses and what Red Nose Day is all about. Our second question is about funny bones, we find out that it’s actually a nerve and there’s a great reason why it’s called a funny bone when it isn’t a bone and isn’t very funny! Thirdly we discover why snot comes out when you cry, how many sinuses you and why snot is a very useful thing for your body. Social media: Instagram: @everythingunderthesunpod Twitter: @everythinguts Facebook: @everythingunderthesunbyMollyOldfield Website: www.everythingunderthesun.co.uk Find out how to submit an answer on our website. Molly Oldfield studied History at Oxford before becoming a QI elf, writing and researching questions for the BBC quiz show for twelve years. She has written three books. They are The Secret Museum, a book about all the things that are in museums that rarely, if ever, go on display; Wonders of the World’s Museums filled with things you can see, and Natural Wonders of the World about all kinds of creatures and places on our beautiful planet we call home.

Matt and Luke are back aboard their TV Time Machine to March of 2026. BBC Two launches the innovative and brilliantly funny The Dave Gorman Collection, which sees a then unknown new comic Dave Gorman, set out to meet as many people with his name as he can. Presented as a slide show presentation, Gorman's journey is a lot of fun and fresh.  Next, off the back of the first Big Brother, Channel 4 and the BBC join forces for a Celebrity edition of the reality show which only ran for 8 days and was structured strangely. Half-hour episodes and quick nominations and evictions. The main thing the show is remembered for is Vanessa Feltz, who had a bit of a breakdown when she was nominated for eviction. But, actually, the more surprising takeaway from the show is how being in the house affected comedian and eventual winner Jack Dee. Next, having finished The Fast Show, Paul Whitehouse brings us BBC comedy Happiness. The dark comedy, is an odd pitch: A man who voices a popular children's character is lost when his wife is run over by an ice cream truck. It's dark and absurd topic, but there's pathos in there and some really familiar faces giving their first performances. Lastly, Channel 4, launches raunchy and risque comedy drama Teachers with a star turn from Andrew Lincoln. It's a show where the teachers are just as badly behaved and desperately to be liked as the teenagers they are teaching. It's vibrant, fast-paced and immediately aware of it is.  Finally, Matt challenges Luke to name as many chart hits from March 2001 as he can. 

Matt & Mollie check in with Greg, who is in Birmingham for the 4th leg of his Longest Ride for Comic Relief. He's joined by a huge list of people, including an incredible band and Birmingham's own Joe Lycett!Plus, a brilliant game of Don't Match Matt.

Not so much a rewrite as an appreciation of this 25-year-old classic in general and of Daniel Cleaver as played by Hugh Grant in particular. Bridget Jones's Diary Year: 2001 Screenplay by: Helen Fielding, Andrew Davies, Richard Curtis Based on the novel by: Helen Fielding Directed by: Sharon Maguire Stars: Renée Zellweger, Colin Firth, Hugh Grant Show notes: CN: discussion of fatphobia and diet culture; derogatory language   If you would like to skip the plot summary for this month's film you can spool forward about 12 and a half  minutes into the episode.   In this episode we mention the films: Notting Hill* (1999) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0125439/) Paddington 2 (2017) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4468740/) Love Actually (2003) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0314331/)   And the TV series: Pride and Prejudice (1995) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112130/)   And the books: Bridget Jones's Diary by Helen Fielding (1996) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridget_Jones%27s_Diary_(novel)) Sex & The City by Candace Bushnell (1996) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_and_the_City_(newspaper_column)) Tales of the City by Armistead Maupin (1978) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tales_of_the_City_(novel)) The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole, Aged 13 3/4 by Sue Townsend (1982) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Secret_Diary_of_Adrian_Mole,_Aged_13%C2%BE) Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen (1813) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pride_and_Prejudice) Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason by Helen Fielding (1999) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridget_Jones:_The_Edge_of_Reason_(novel)) Persuasion by Jane Austen (1817) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persuasion_(novel))   *Films marked with an asterisk have previously been featured on the podcast.   You can watch the shower sketch from Eddie Izzard's Glorious tour (1997) here: https://youtu.be/0Zfsn82MF3E?si=uhKVM3t9YtR8PKSQ   NB: In this episode, we refer to events from both the first and the second books in the Bridget Jones canon - Bridget Jones's Diary (1996) and Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason (1999)   The passage from the (first) book that Charles Adrian was trying to find is right at the beginning - Sunday 1 January: "It struck me as pretty ridiculous to be called Mr Darcy and to stand on your own looking snooty at a party.

Just five per cent of people with a learning difference are in paid work, something highlighted by the recent case of Tom Boyd, who was let go by Morrisons after his family asked that he be paid for his work. That case spurred Liz Warner, a former CEO of Comic Relief, into action. Because the same thing had happened to her son and, we can all agree, needs to stop happening. Liz is launching a new initiative in the new year aimed to double the amount of people with a learning difference in paid work, so Hannah got on the Zoom to find out more.

Refugees and people experiencing homelessness and food insecurity are London's most disadvantaged groups. To support them, The Standard is launching our Winter Appeal with the backing of Rita Ora - and in collaboration with Comic Relief, who have pledged £500,000 to get us underway. We're joined by The Standard's Campaigns Editor David Cohen, and CEO of Comic Relief, Samir Patel, to discuss how you can help the most vulnerable people in society - those who are homeless, struggling with food insecurity or who have been forced to flee their homes and are seeking asylum in the UK.Click here to make a donation.

How connected do your people feel? Phil Thomas is the Chief Creative Officer of Informa Festivals. They're the company that owns Cannes Lions. And Phil has recently been named as Chairman of Comic Relief. One of the things that I've learned hosting this podcast is that the most powerful leaders rarely get remembered for their titles. They're remembered for how they made people feel. In this conversation with Phil, what stood out most weren't his achievements. It was his perspective on making people feel connected. As you'll hear, when you emphasize connection in your leadership, kindness, challenges, accomplishments, language shapes the culture, and the trust that follows becomes invaluable currency that maximizes creativity. Connection is also one of the 13 conditions that's measured by FORM, the creativity diagnostic that I've been developing. Because in every organization that I've studied, when people feel seen, heard, and respected, creativity is unlocked and businesses grow faster. And, memorably, this conversation with Phil is a reminder that connection isn't a soft skill, it's the foundation of creative leadership and the impact that that leadership leaves behind. How connected do your people feel to your organization? Do they feel seen, heard, and respected?
