Julia Raeside is no stranger to writing or comedy, having written for a number of UK broadsheet newspapers. But this is her debut novel which she's set in the world of stand-up comedy. It explores the sometimes toxic nature of male comedians using coercive controlling behaviour with women and is adroitly observed. Julia tells Phil and Natalie why she thinks Comedy needs it's own HR department; she talks about what it was like completing and editing a novel for the first time and she reveals the moments from her own life, that made into the lead character's life in the book.

Julia Raeside is a journalist and broadcaster, who has written for The Times, The Guardian, The Big Issue and many others, and appeared across the BBC. Her new novel is 'Don't Make Me Laugh', which looks at the culture within the world of comedy... an industry which is rapidly approaching a #MeToo moment. It tells the story of Ali Lauder, a radio producer enlisted to hire Paul Bonatti to host a show. It could be her career breakthrough. Bonatti is a comedian who is thought to be cosy, warm, cool, and a fun feminist... turns out he's anything but.We talk about how the idea developed from experiencing life at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, covering it as a journalist, and then thinking there was more to be discussed as a novel. You can hear why being a journalist isn't always helpful to novel writing, why she had to trick herself to write, and whether she was ever worried it wasn't her story to tell.You can get a copy of the novel at uk.bookshop.org/shop/writersroutineSupport the show at patreon.com/writersroutineko-fi.com/writersroutine@writerspodwritersroutine.com Hosted on Acast.

Book Club #128 - Don't Make Me Laugh - Richard talks to journalist Julia Raeside about her debut novel Don't Make Me Laugh about the dark side of the comedy industry and the coercive vampiric narcissists who can inhabit it. It's a lively chat about how comedy attracts emotionally stunted performers and emotionally vulnerable fans and the grey areas that can be created and exploited within that, the changes that have happened to the industry over the years and the problems that still persist, whether people who have been caught out should be allowed to return to the job, how women in comedy have combined to fight the problem and why that's quite tedious for them and why it's difficult for men to talk about this issue.Buy the book here - https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/don-t-make-me-laugh-julia-raeside/7744516?ean=9781835011850Come to a RHLSTP live! - https://richardherring.com/rhlstp Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/rhlstp.

The third and final series of Mum is currently airing on BBC2 and Pauline is proving to be as terrifyingly class-conscious as ever. Why do so many British sitcoms and novels centre around women who are obsessed with status? From Margot in The Good Life to Hyacinth Bucket, from Mrs Bennett to Becky Sharp - why are so many of our iconic female characters shameless social climbers? Jenni talks to television critic Julia Raeside and journalist and critic Alex Clark.Jenni speaks to Jo Miller as she steps down from one of the most high-profile local government jobs in the UK. Jo was appointed Chief Executive of Doncaster Council by central Government in 2012, when the Council was officially a “failing” local authority. Jo's turnaround strategy has brought in investment of £2 billion and the town is now in the UK's top ten for growth. How did she achieve this and why is she leaving?A report by Lancaster University and Fatherhood Institute earlier this year states that the number of men working in early years childcare is just 2%, a figure which has not changed for decades. What can be done to attract more men into the career? And, for those working in the sector already, what is the reaction from parents to having a man working with young children?Nearly 2,000 domestic abuse survivors iare being put at risk of homelessness because local authority rules state they aren't vulnerable enough, according to a new report published by the All Party Parliamentary Group for Ending Homelessness.

Idris Elba has a new Netflix comedy series: Turn Up Charlie. He plays a struggling DJ and eternal bachelor, who is given a final shot at success when he reluctantly becomes a ‘manny' to his famous best friend's problem-child daughter, Gabby. Julia Raeside reviews.25 years ago the Fisherman's Friends were just a crew of friends in Port Isaac, Cornwall. Some of them were fishermen. They sang sang shanties, nautical and Cornish songs, for fun to locals and holidaymakers. In 2010 they signed a record deal and since then the Friends have performed at the Royal Albert Hall, the main stage at Glastonbury and they've had a Top 10 single. Now there's a lightly-fictionalised feature film telling their story. Fisherman's Friends will sing live in the studio. Also Tuppence Middleton tells us about her role in the film and how it deals with the dilemmas of gentrification, second home ownership in Cornwall, identity, opportunity and loyalty.The cheeky chappy is a staple of TV comedy- Arthur Daley, Del Boy Trotter - a little bit dodgy but basically a good bloke; always trying to bend if not break the rules, with an ability to believe passionately in third rate projects. You wouldn't want these qualities in most professions you encounter, but they're TV gold. Stephen Armstrong is a fan. A demo recording of David Bowie singing a very early version of Starman has been unearthed and eagerly seized upon by his fans. How significant is this tape and why do we seem perpetually fascinated by Ziggy Stardust/ The Thin White Duke/ his towering musical genius? Presenter: Samira Ahmed Producer: Oliver Jones

Chat shows have been the staple of TV schedules for decades. The Bee Gees storming off Clive Anderson's show, David Icke claiming to be the 'son of God' on Wogan, Victoria Beckham's 'Golden Balls' confession, and Grace Jones slapping Russell Harty, are considered some of the best of British chat show moments. However, some have lamented the demise of the 'traditional' talk show, where hosts do one-on-one in-depth interviews with celebrities. Instead, networks favour comedy entertainment shows, like Alan Carr and Graham Norton. So, why the change in style, and what are the ingredients for chat show success? Graham Norton joins Steve Hewlett to discuss chat show gold and explains how age, experience, and celebrity demands have influenced his style. Also in the studio; Elaine Bedell, Director of Entertainment and Comedy at ITV; Jonathan Shalit, Chair of talent management agency Roar Global, and the Guardian TV critic Julia Raeside. Together, they discuss how the changing nature of celebrity has had an impact on talk show styles, and ask where next for the genre.Producer: Dianne McGregor.
