Alex 'Apollo' Gray, Caroline Barker, David Alorka & James Dowdeswell fight for punditry points whilst discussing the world of sport with Rick Edwards
Actor Jake Wood, former badminton player Gail Emms, sports journalist Jim White and comedian James Dowdeswell join Rick Edwards for an hour of sporting punditry, humour and entertainment. Points are awarded for informed comment, wit and passion, but taken away for nonsense and answers lacking in conviction.In the final round, the top two points scorers go head-to-head in 'Defend the Indefensible' where they must both defend a statement however ludicrous or distasteful for twenty seconds. There can only be one winner!Listen to the podcast on BBC Sounds.
In this episode, I talk to the great comedian, JAMES DOWDESWELL. James Dowdeswell is a comedian, actor and writer. He had headlined and compered many comedy nights, has appeared in the TV comedy series Extras with Ricky Gervais, and wrote the book The Pub Manifesto: A Comedian Stands Up For Pubs. His comedy is knowledgeable, intelligent and exceptionally witty. I have seen Dowdeswell appear for the Always Be Comedy in London in 2019, perform his own solo show, Beers of A Clown at the Clapham Fringe in 2022 and as a guest for Collywobblers Comedy at Sambrook's Brewery in Wandsworth, London in 2023.

The Moon Under Water has been lucky enough to welcome in many guests that romanticise pubs just as much as Landlord John and the ever-present Robin, and this week is no exception. As he walks towards the ‘Pub of the Mind', engulfed by the mists of desire, it becomes obvious that the next person joining us is comedian, author and actor James Dowdeswell. James knows his stuff when it comes to the humble alehouse. He's the author of 'The Pub Manifesto: A Comedian Stands Up For Pubs', and has performed numerous live shows based around taverns. And the best thing of all: James is the first guest we've had that GREW UP in a pub, and has experienced everything that comes along with living above an alehouse. There are still tickets on sale for The Moon Under Water Live! There are two more dates in September, when we'll be inviting special guests to create their dream pub LIVE from a real pub (The George IV in Chiswick). Head over to moonunderpod.com for more info and to grab your tickets. The mystical realm awaits! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
