On this episode Mark and Athena take Riki through the world of Edinburgh fringe. They talk about the ups and downs of the fringe and whether it's worth it.

In Episode 11 Graeme chats with Paul Dennis, a comic who has been in the industry (on and off) for over 2 decades. Paul has had a recent diagnosis of ADHD, which (as a man in his 50s) has caused him to look back on past life events through a new lens. ADHD has, naturally had an impact on his mental health, and while he has not sought a diagnosis for anxiety or depression it's clear from this conversation these issues have become intrinsically linked. Graeme and Paul chat about gigging in London, New York and Swansea, as well as the evolution of a parody song that was a throwaway idea almost 20 years ago that, when resurrected, became a mainstay of Paul's set that saw him win King Gong at London's Comedy Store in 2019. Follow Paul on social media @thatpauldennis and visit his YouTube channel "Paul Dennis, Comedy Worker" Finally, the parody song discussed towards the end of this episode can be heard here

In our first episode Graeme talks to one of his best friends in the business - Keith Wild. Winner of King Gong at the Manchester Comedy Store, Beat the Frog at the Frog and Bucket and the Shoecake Gong show in Stockton, Keith is a rude, lewd and hilarious musical comedian, singing original songs (he thinks parodies are "hack"). This episode contains strong language and discussions of drug use, suicidal thoughts and mental health issues, as well as songs of a sexual nature.

Nine episodes, to match the nine Ringwraiths. In a giggly, hungover, rough-around-the-edges chat, Steve and comedian Hubert Mayr gleefully share their stories of experiencing and being the tragic epicentre of; "Schadenfreude". Is the joy you can feel from a stranger's suffering the sweetest? Does delighting in your friend's failures make you love them even more, or even save them? Are we currently experiencing mass schadenfreude on a global scale? Can we push through all the pain and embarrassment and find our way to empathy? And can we find deep philosophical catharsis in the humble nutshot fail? Hubert Mayr is a hilarious up and coming comedian haunting the London circuit like a dark cloud, his morose delivery and pitch-black material getting him to the final of Leicester Square New Comedian Of The Year 2018. He is soon to perform at Brighton Fringe with a show called "Attendance Mandatory" alongside comedian Martin Durchov. He also achieved the not insignificant feat of beating the gong at the mortifying King Gong show, earning him a spot at the hallowed London Comedy Store on the 27th April. So go see him there, and wherever you can find him!

In the spirit of challenging myself, I recently decided to try my hand at stand up comedy. But rather than ease myself into this new venture, I opted for a baptism by fire. This episode chronicles my preparation for and entry into the King Gong competition at The Comedy Store in Manchester.

After my victory at Manchester's comedy competition, Beat The Frog, I travel to London for the famous King Gong comedy competition, where I come up against my most ruthless and brutal audience yet. But can I survive five minutes on … Continue reading → See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Jacob Hawley started his stand up comedy career at the tender age of 21 and has gone on to perform hundreds of gigs all across the country. Finalist in the BBC New Comedy Awards of 2017, from a field of roughly 700 hopefuls to the final 6, which in the past has been the achievement of many well known British greats such as Peter Kay, Alan Carr and Lee Mack among others. Jacob has also won the King Gong award at The Comedy Store here in London and at just 25, has proven he’s well on his way to establishing himself as a regular face of comedy here in the city.

Former theme park worker, Edy Hurst has always been a show off, a key criterion for a career in stand-up comedy. After a pretty shaky start when he died at the Comedy Store’s King Gong show (who hasn’t?), he went on to find his comedy voice. Enjoy 15 minutes of stand-up and chat with the lively comedian. ‘Edy Hurst Theme Show’ is at Just the Tonic at the Tron. ‘Edy Hurst and Joby Mageean - Dead Nice Boys’ is appearing as part of Edinburgh’s Free Festival.

http://thecomedycast.com/ Lucy Roper came on my radar thanks to the Leicester Comedy that's running at the moment, we started off the podcast talking about Lucy's day job, she works in T.V. (wooooo) but she won't get your script commissioned. We spoke too about where Lucy's from, a wee town called Wirksworth, which isn't pronounced like it's spelled and that led to us talking about why the English has such a blatant disregard for how to pronounce their letters. We had a chat about the North/Side divide in England and where the line is between the two regions, is it Birnmingham, Leicester, or Watford, we spoke about how it's different for everyone and about how that divide is also present on the comedy scene. We got onto comedy then and spoke about Lucy having her first gig at a King Gong, something not for the faint-hearted but she wasn't gonged straight away and it went fairly well. We spoke then about why Lucy uses poetry in her set and she discussed how it actually gives her set a firm structure and how if a joke or two isn't going well she knows that a bit of poetry will get her back on track. We had a talk then about her 2016 Edinburgh Fringe Show, Three's a Crowd, Four's an Audience, a show she shared with fellow stand-up comedian and comedy writer, Charlotte Michael. We spoke about her experiences in Edinburgh and how she'd love to return. We spoke about Lucy's new show, Girlfriend Material that she'll have debuted the weekend before the podcast came out and that she hopes someone will propose marriage at her gig; not to her though. We speak about Lucy's love for poetry and we talk about some of the differences between what you learn in England compared to the poetry rammed down your neck in Ireland. Finally then we talk about the current health of the live stand-up comedy scene in England and the sense of togetherness and commendatory among the comedians on the scene.
