In England's North East there was a land. A Metroland. Apart from being a gang of Geordie sketch comedians, Metroland was also a semi-mythical theme park peopled with gnomes, wizards and 1990s teens who quite wrongly believed that things could only get better. But what could ever beat the biggest shopping mall in Europe (at the time)? Or the most gigantic (indoor) rollercoaster in all of Christendom? This episode includes James's absolutely bang-on muntjac impression. BE CAREFUL - it could entice muntjacs and/or beasts. Metroland return to the Edinburgh Fringe with Metroland Live: As Seen On TV at Pleasance Dome, Jack Dome from 5th to 30th August at 9.40pm (not 18th). Tickets here.

Recent credits include High Potential and a recurring role as Nicky Brooks on Apple TV's Emmy winning series The Morning Show. Other credits include: Veronica Mars," "ER," "NCIS," and "Lethal Weapon. He is currently performing a three year sold out run of his improvised comedy show Making Love with David Magidoff (7th August - 23rd August at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. David Magidoff is turning tear drops into punchlines through improvised musical comedy at this year's Edinburgh Fringe Festival with Making Love with David Magidoff. The mushy-hearted Jewish man who weeps at insurance commercials is bringing that emotional instability to the Assembly, alongside a band, performing ensemble, and a star-studded line-up of guest appearances. He is honoured to be joined by BRIT Award-winning musician Fran Healy of Travis, comedians Mike Wozniak, Mark Watson, and BAFTA-nominee Rosie Jones, with more guests to be announced. Hot off the Netflix is a Joke Festival and midway through a three-year sold-out "tour-de-force" run at Los Angeles' Iconic Elysian Theater, the show sees Magidoff interview a celebrity guest about a real wild love story from their life. He and his cast of world-renowned improvisers including Stephanie Courtney (Mad Men), Kimberly Condict (Shrinking), alongside Grammy-nominated rapper Propaganda, Josh Cake and Karen Hall, turn the story into a fully madcap improvised musical performed live on stage. Magidoff's runaway Los Angeles run of Making Love has featured a wide range of celebrities including Tony Hale (Veep), Michael C. Hall (Dexter), and Oscar Nuñez (The Office)...whose wife jumped on stage and grabbed the microphone from him because he was telling their proposal story all wrong. In a show this raw, the only thing guaranteed is that it won't go according to plan!

Johnny Mac covers comedy news including Marcello Hernandez promoting Netflix's “72 Hours” with Kevin Hart, sharing Today Show banter where Marcelo jokes about Hart's nonstop hustling, wardrobe, and sockless style, plus a less-funny Late Night with Seth Meyers segment mocking Hart's “#da kid” persona.

Comedian Rory Cargill joins me to defend Die Another Day. The final Pierce Brosnan James Bond film that pushed the 007 franchise to its most absurd limits.We discuss why Die Another Day acts as a fascinating time capsule right before the gritty Daniel Craig era, the bizarre creative choices from director Lee Tamahori, and whether its 55% Rotten Tomatoes score is truly justified. We dive deep into the movie's infamous moments, including the invisible car, Madonna's wildly divisive theme song, Toby Stephens' incredibly posh performance as Gustav Graves, and the shockingly bad CGI kite-surfing sequence. Along the way, we debate the best and worst James Bond films, the lost art of elaborate henchmen, and why the film's campy tone might actually be its greatest strength.Away from the movie, Rory talks about taking his new comedy show to the Edinburgh Fringe, his fascination with the bizarre psyches of UK TV legends like Noel Edmonds and Richard Madeley, and we wrap up with a tense, action-movie edition of our Rotten Tomatoes game, Movie 501.⭐ Support the show on Patreon for:Episodes 24 hours earlyAd FreeBonus ContentExclusive Polls and Updatespatreon.com/everyonesacriticpod

The comedian Tez Ilyas, star of Man Like Mobeen and The Tez'O Clock Show is also heading for Edinburgh and then out on tour with his new show - Tez Things I Hate About You.

Dennis Trainor Jr. is an actor, writer, and stage performer. He was the Communications Director for Jill Stein, and he was active during both Occupy and the early days of political YouTube with his channel, Acronym TV. We've both distanced ourselves from the YouTube space some. Another thing we have in common: We're both Edinburgh Fringe bound this year, 2026.
Edward Easton never imagined his next role would see him leading a musical. With no previous musical theatre experience, taking on One Man Musical was a genuine leap of faith - but one that quickly proved to be worth it. Nick and he chat about learning the music, finding confidence in a new genre, working with Flo & Joan and making an established role his own. You can see Edward in the role of portraying the superstar Lord (and we don't mean Jesus Christ) at the Edinburgh Fringe!
In this episode of What is a Good Life, host Mark McCartney sits down with Ralf Wetzel - a leadership scholar who has taught at leading European business schools, and a clown and mask performer whose solo show Absolutely Reliable! has played the Edinburgh Fringe. This episode is built around one question: what does it mean to have a good relationship with fear? Ralf grew up under surveillance in communist East Germany, in a family where fear was something you lived with, not something you spoke about. He spent years trying to work through it - through therapy, yoga, and psychedelics, and eventually through improv and clown theatre. Along the way, we get into a teaching moment that tested everything he'd learned, and why a plastic clown nose turned out to teach him more about truth than theory ever did.This episode is for anyone who wants to reconsider their relationship with fear.For more from Ralf Wetzel:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ralf-wetzel-3a742011/For more from Mark McCartney:Newsletter: https://www.whatisagood.life/Website: https://www.mmcleadership.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-mccartney-14b0161b4/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/ @whatisagoodlife3875

A few years back, I hosted Dougie Mackay at my home on Vancouver Island for some pizza and a televised hockey game. I'd just caught his show in town and was struck by how he illuminated the wingspan of a story - the way it could carry an audience across centuries and landscapes with each sentence.Raised in the Scottish Highlands where storytelling is still in the water, Dougie has sold out shows at the Edinburgh Fringe and the Scottish International Storytelling Festival. He even holds a Guinness World Record as part of the longest continuous storytelling session (74 hours, set in the central square of Marrakesh, where storytelling is also heritage). He describes his own work as firing on the edge of the wild.In this episode of The Crow's Nest, Dougie joins me to explore the medicine of story for these times - and for men in particular. We speak in support of the upcoming Cascadia Men's Conference, happening August 6-9 in the Squamish Valley just north of Vancouver. The conference draws its DNA from the Minnesota Men's Conference, now forty years strong, and we're gathering elders and younger men alike to light a fire we hope will burn yearly.Dougie won't be with us in person this August (he'll be at the Edinburgh Fringe with his show A Wolf Shall Devour the Sun), but his spirit is woven into what we're building. At the heart of our conversation, he tells the old Gaelic tale of Finn McCool and the Salmon of Wisdom - a story from the Fianna cycle about a boy raised by wild aunties in the forest, who must learn not just to hunt and fight, but to see truly.What emerges is a conversation about masculine leadership, the necessary relationship between youth and elders, and what it means to be mentored by both the feminine and the wild. "I think there's lots of people seeking belonging, and the salmon has something to say about that."Dougie offers a particular tonic: the idea that in our broken culture, many of us in midlife and beyond may find ourselves in the role of Finnegus - the old poet who sits by the pool for seven years, preparing the ground so that someone younger might receive the gift we never will.If you're drawn to the work, you can find Dougie writing on Substack at Rekindling the Hearth. He's also launching a nine-month storytelling mentorship cohort called The Storyteller's Journey this September.The Cascadia Men's Conference runs August 6-9.

Johnny Mac shares daily comedy news, starting with Pete Holmes telling Wired he leaves 55,000 emails unread, uses an iPhone Air from 2025, and keeps screen time low (about 1 hour 15 minutes average), aided by a screen-time widget, no social media, grayscale display, and limiting color/sound. The LA Times profiles comedian Jeff Arcuri, who describes being widely recognized through Instagram Reels while still unknown by name, and says crowd work clips immensely boosted his career; he also discusses writing much of his Netflix special within a year amid his wife's cancer diagnosis and later improved prognosis, noting their use of dark humor. Seth Meyers mentions an SNL-related group chat with Amy Poehler and Michael Shoemaker called “the tripod” and says Fred Armisen is the funniest texter. Just For Laughs Sydney 2026 (Nov 9–22) announces Gabriel Iglesias, Greg Davies, Bill Bailey, and Dara O'Briain. The Guardian highlights Edinburgh Fringe's surreal Underground Monk Show and its dates.
