Podcasts about new town theatre

This week I catch up with Canadian stand up comedian and writer J.J. Whitehead. Recorded in the foyer of The Stand's New Town Theatre during Edinburgh Fringe, we discuss many topics including face blindness, Naked Attraction (a stalwart of @tvtimespod at this point), the American writer's strike and the demise of The Jim Jefferies Show, on which J.J. was a writer. He explains how he ended up in Edinburgh over twenty years ago and unsuspectingly watched as the Fringe rolled into town, giving him just the nudge he needed to seek out his comedic destiny. We also share our joint fear of the old TV licence radar vans that used to roam the UK streets in search of people watching TV 'illegally', and conversely how that period was oddly followed by brief window whereby stealing content via bit-torrent was considered to be not an entirely illegal pastime. We also have a wee chinwag regarding the differences between Canadian sketch and Canadian Sitcoms, and how they were somewhat influenced by UK comedy, unlike their American counterparts.Follow us on Instagram & Twitter (links below):All music written and performed in this podcast by Steve Otis Gunn,Please buy my book 'You Shot My Dog and I Love You' available in all good book shops and online.Podcast Socials:Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@tvtimespodInsta: https://www.instagram.com/tvtimespodYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@tvtimespodTwitter: https://twitter.com/tvtimespodSteve's Socials:Insta: https://www.instagram.com/steveotisgunnTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/steveotisgunnFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/steveotisgunn.antisocialJ.J's Socials:Insta: https://www.instagram.com/jjwhiteheadcomedianTwitter: https://twitter.com/JJWhitesnakeFind J.J's Podcast with Francisco Ramos here:https://linktr.ee/StandbypodProduced by Steve Otis Gunn for Jilted Maggotwww.jiltedmaggot.com Hosted on Acast.

John Lloyd, the TV and radio producer behind many classic comedy programmes from The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Not the Nine O'Clock News and Spitting Image to Have I Got News For You, The News Quiz and QI, will be asking audiences to put his accumulated knowledge on all subjects to the test at this year's Edinburgh Fringe in his show Do You Know Who I Am?. BTG Editor David Chadderton asked him about the show, about his career and about the things that continue to fascinate him enough to make producing programmes like QI more like an addiction than a job. John Lloyd: Do You Know Who I Am? will be at The Stand's New Town Theatre on George Street, Edinburgh from 5 to 15 August 2022 at 3:40PM every day.

Flo and Joan and John Kearns Ed Fringe #21 Nine Minutes- Rich has just hit the 200 average crowd he coveted and worked out just how much his landlord has made from each ticket sold and there’s an end of term atmosphere as he meets Flo and Joan and John Kearns. With Flo and Joan the talk revolves around time travelling gang bangs, Bros’ Cheddar antics, double act rivalry and memories of Tring.With John, Richard is skittish from lack of sleep and counting down the time, but still manages to find out whether a plastic cup can substitute for false teeth and how the speaker of the House of Commons takes a shit. Plus a revival of a plan to quell sex offenders. Thanks to the crew at the New Town Theatre and to Liam for coming to so many shows and messing up his cue.See Flo and Joan on tour http://floandjoan.comSee RHLSTP on tour http://richardherring.com/rhlstpt/tour See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
