In this episode, I talk to the fantastic comedian, JESSICA FOSTEKEW. Fostekew is an English actress and stand-up comedian. She is a regular presence on the UK stand-up comedy circuit, and her solo show, Hench, was nominated for the 2019 Edinburgh Comedy Award for Best show. Her TV acting credits include Avoidance (with Romesh Ranganathan), Cuckoo, and Motherland. She has featured on BBC Radio 4 (including The News Quiz) and on numerous TV entertainment shows, (including Live at The Apollo).   She is a regular co-host of The Guilty Feminist podcast, as well as creator and host of the comedy food podcast, Hoovering. I always smile when I see her name on a comedy bill as I know I am in for as good time. She has on numerous occasions reduced me to helpless fits of laughter, and I have seen her many times over the years.  I first saw her as a guest for Mervyn Stutter's Pick of the Fringe at the Edinburgh Festival in 2012, and other notable performances include as a guest act for Always Be Comedy in 2017, 2019, 2020 and 2022, Work In Progress shows at Leicester Comedy Festival in 2020, and Battersea Arts Centre in 2023, and her Hoovering Podcast Live  in London in 2021 and Leicester in 2024.

Comedian, writer, and broadcaster, Romesh Ranganathan, joins Gabby to talk about how he's learned to manage his inner critic in the years leading up to the midpoint; why he loves making people laugh; plus, the sometimes complex relationships you have with your parents, and how that can impact the way you parent.

James is still absent while he devotes every waking hour to recovering from the Taylor Swift concert, so Boyd and Kay are joined by all-round legend Sophie Butcher, who recently compared Dating Naked UK and Love Island to Claire Denis' masterpiece Beau Travail. Up for review this week are season 4 of Only Murders In The Building on Disney+ (we will not be doing a spoiler special for this season, though, due to public demand), plus French series Sambre: Anatomy Of A Crime on BBC4, and the new fourth series of ITV1 crime drama Grace, starring John Simm.

Joining us today is a comedian and broadcaster who has emerged as one of the preeminent political satirists working in the UK. And just as well, because he says he couldn't fathom doing anything else.

He chats about how his career has gone from dreaming up sketches in between drunken trips to Durham's kebab shops while at university, to hosting some of the biggest TV shows and podcasts in the UK. While Nish also tells us the numerous things he's learned from the other hugely successful comedians he broke through with (like Katherine Ryan, Ed Gamble, Romesh Ranganathan and loads more), we also wonder what's next for British comedy as streaming services squeeze the lifeblood out of a once DIY scene.For all the latest news, click here to follow us on Instagram!***Please take the time to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your pods.

Romesh listened – and that day, his love of hip-hop music began. But not just hip-hop. Music has been a huge part of his family's story...across the generations.Inherited: Love Come Down by Evelyn "Champagne" King Passed on: Juicy by The Notorious B.I.GProducers: Ben Mitchell and Ribika Moktan

Romesh Ranganathan jokes about his sex life in his Netflix special, "The Cynic".

From a maths teacher and occasional rapper to one of the UK's most popular comedians, you would think this was the setup to one of Romesh Ranganathan's typically deadpan jokes. However, as is the case with most comedians, behind the jokes and laughter lies pain. After bursting onto our screens, Romesh has been constantly working, always afraid that his success could slip out from under him at any moment, stemming from his family struggles as a teenager when his father was sent to prison and life as he knew it fell apart. In this hilarious but also intimate conversation, Romesh discusses the life experiences that have provided him with the endless material for his sold-out shows, but also the challenges that have made him the man he is today. Childhood Your dad's prison years Were you ashamed of your family? Being a lazy kid What was your opinion of yourself? Dealing with a voice in my head Your comedian journey Your days pre-stand up The loss of your father Your mum's support Becoming a successful comedian Are you happy?

Happy New Year! It's our final episode of this series, and this time the Canadian Queen of comedy popped over for lunch just before she gave birth to her 3rd child. With just 2 weeks to go Katherine was absolutely glowing and was unbelievably calm and chilled, in fact so calm she thinks she's actually already dead and this is her afterlife! Katherine gave us her story of growing up in Canada, the Ice Cream Barbie cakes she would have for her birthdays, the story of her Louis Theroux documentary, and her… big… theory about Pete Davidson! Her new series ‘Romantic Getaway' with Romesh Ranganathan is out now on Sky Comedy & Now TV. Thank you for being a fabulous end of series guest Katherine! x Hosted on Acast.

LOOK OUT! It's only Films To Be Buried With!Join your host Brett Goldstein for a special REWIND edition, as he talks life, death, love and the universe with comic and actor ROMESH RANGANATHAN!A lovely oppportunity to catch up with an episode from the archives, which was a true ray of light in a very difficult time. Of course, times are differently difficult now but this opens a window on a time not far from recent memory, where we were looking for laughter and distraction while also dealing with an unprecedented crisis. Naturally things don't dwell on that part - it's more just for context. Below is the original writeup for the episode - enjoy!!!The memories of an actual face to face encounter now seem so old and faded, it's hard to even consider such an event. Let alone a live show. Can you even imagine? Well, with things as they are still, Brett has brought the podcast vehicle to your door with facemask and gloved hands once again, with guest in tow, the excellent multi-threat comic Romesh over the internet! Proper good times to be had, conversationally roaming freely with reckless abandon that brings to mind those halcyon days of a couple of months ago, including being a national treasure (Romesh won't have any of it), his Mum being a breakaway star, the thrill of trying to master stuff (especially in lockdown times), working with the family in the picture and what mayhem or paradise that brings, packing for the afterlife, knockoff Care Bears and a HECK ton more. Such a good one, you'll thoroughly enjoy. Be excellent to each other folks - shouts and love to you all XROMESH ONLINETWITTERHIP HOP SAVED MY LIFETHE MISADVENTURES OF ROMESH RANGANATHANASIAN PROVOCATEURBRETT GOLDSTEIN on TWITTERBRETT GOLDSTEIN on INSTAGRAMBRETT GOLDSTEIN on PATREONTED LASSOSOULMATESSUPERBOB (Brett's 2015 feature film)CORNERBOYS with BRETT & SCROOBIUS PIPDISTRACTION PIECES NETWORK on FACEBOOKDISTRACTION PIECES NETWORK on INSTAGRAMSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/filmstobeburiedwith.
