Podcasts about so you think you're funny

In this conversation I chat with comedian and writer Amir Khoshsokhan (https://twitter.com/amirk17).Amir is a BBC Comedy Award Nominee and has reached the finals of many stand up competitions including, So You Think You're Funny, Leicester Square New Comedian, English Comedian of the Year and wining the title of the Piccadilly Comedy Club’s New Comedian Award.He discusses his thought process of reaching a place in his stand up career where he felt it was time to take a step back. We get into why he arrived at this decision and how he intends on spending the time that was previously spent gigging 3-4 nights a week. Amir talks about the struggles of writing every day and balancing that whilst working in a full time job. He shares his thoughts on fame and why it doesn’t appeal to him, how important it is to have collaborators around you who’s instinct you respect and trust and lots more!Happy listening :)Steve - @offkeysteve See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Japanese Translator, So You Think You're Funny competition semi-finalist and all round lovely human Helen Jenkins comes to talk over green tea about cultural differences, appropriation, free speech and making yourself be cute.

I spoke to the brilliant Maisie Adam after her set at Latitude’s Comedy Arena. Winner of Amused Moose National New Comic 2018 and So You Think You're Funny 2017, Maisie’s debut show, 'Vague', earned her a nomination for Best Newcomer at last year's Edinburgh Comedy Awards. With ‘Mock The Week’ and ‘The Stand-Up Sketch Show' amongst a growing list of TV credits she’s well on her way to becoming a household name on the comedy scene. We talked about Maisie’s new Edinburgh show and tour, the new series of ‘The Stand-Up Sketch Show’, her comedy heroes and Latitude’s Amusical. You can see Maisie perform her fantastic new show, ‘Hang Fire’, at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival this year at the Gilded Balloon from 1st - 26th August, every day at 5pm. She’ll also be bringing the show on tour in the autumn.

Maybe the best human ever, Maisie Adam joins The Hot Mess Clubhouse this week. She won So You Think You're Funny? competition in 2017, then blew everyone away at last year’s Edinburgh Festival, getting nominated for the Best Newcomer award and winning the Amused Moose National Comic Award. She’s also swiftly become a regular on our TV screens, appearing recently on the likes of Mock the Week. Host Lucy Vine gets giggly with Maisie, talking about a variety of weird subjects, including wasps, hilarious lies, Steve Irwin and her Strictly Come Dancing ambitions.Music by Harry Harris. Recorded at Waterstones Gower Street and produced by Hannah Varrall. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

We celebrate our sweet sixteenth episode with Nathan D'arcy Roberts, who both shares and surpasses Steve's lifelong love affair with cinema. In a dense, organic chat awash with further reading; Steve and Nathan allow their inner "cinephiles" to wax widescreen. Is there a special magic that elevates filmmaking above the other art forms? Do all films have an inherent dignity passed down from the greatest opus to even the most hated flop? Is a film bound by an obligation to entertain, or the responsibility to be brutal and unflinching? What are those tiny unspoken moments that make you realise you're in love with a film? And what are your pet peeves that make you a torment to whomever has the bad luck to be sat next to you in the theatre? And is eight hours an acceptable running time?  Nathan D'arcy Roberts is a brilliant writer, filmmaker and stand-up comedian. Since starting comedy in 2014 he has been nominated for the BBC Radio New Comedian Award and got to the semi-finals of So You Think You're Funny. In 2018 he became the recipient of BBC's prestigious Felix Dexter bursary, to develop his writing into pilot scripts with BBC Writer's Room and the Comedy Commissioning department. He is due to make his debut in Edinburgh fringe this year with "Glowed Up", at Out Of The Box, at Just The Tonic at the Caves, 12:40pm. Go and see him because he's a star!

Comedian Tom Allen joins me for a hilarious chat - he discusses early life in primary school and growing up in Bromley, the National Youth Theatre, winning the BBC New Comedy Award and So You Think You're Funny at the age of 22, and his rise to success. Tom is a natural storyteller, and loves to chat, and we end up digressing a lot. I was lucky to be able to record with him and fit around his busy schedule! We even get a cameo from Angela Barnes, who enters after bumping into Gloria Hunniford in the lift of ITV and being starstruck.

This week, we're joined by comedian and presenter Alex Zane, discussing how he went from tabletop wargaming geek to bombing in the final of So You Think You're Funny, to finally landing presenting gigs at MTV, Popworld and the Alex Zane Xfm Breakfast Show.We're also reminiscing about Alex's cringeworthy interview with Avril Lavigne and hearing the story behind his rogue tattoo of his greatest fear.To get in touch with questions, comments, email us: show@berkhamstedrevisited.com.

Ten out of ten! Headlining the first "season" of the podcast we have the trailblazing badass that is Esther Manito, who sits down with Steve between school-runs to reflect on "Narcissism". How much do our loved ones really shape the people we become? Our identity, our confidence, even our voice. Is narcissism an exaltation, or the cruelest punishment? Can a narcissist ever really change? And can we forgive someone who hasn't even acknowledged forgiveness is required? Esther is an Anglo-Lebanese writer and comedian, hailed for her dry observational style and candid material. She's routinely graced the finals of numerous competitions, notably Funny Women and So You Think You're Funny 2017. In July 2018, she made history as the first woman to perform comedy at the Dubai Opera House as part of Arts Canteen's "Arabs Are Not Funny" night. This year Esther is waging her hour-long debut show "Crusade", in which she takes on motherhood, nationalism, identity and family. The show is coming to Brighton Fringe and Edinburgh Fringe Festival, so clear a path! Next preview is 16th April at the Love Shack in Bethnal Green.

Tell Us More — Sifiso Nene is South African comedian, winner of season 1 of "So You Think You're Funny" and a published author. I sat with him and fellow comedian Loyiso Gola to talk politics, the grind of becoming a successful comedian and how our tribal lineage is responsible for our views on society.

Ok, so what's "Naz", then? In our sixth instalment, Steve sits down with affable rising star comedian Maisie Adam to discuss a loving word that has no English translation; "Naz". In an endearingly open-hearted chat, Maisie lays out the case for personal pride, the pitfalls of pedestals and how she finally found the perfect partnership. Is the pride you feel from being loved enough to sustain you if you don't love yourself 100%? Should we even need someone else to complete us at all? Could that person even love the incomplete version of us? Can we learn to love our scars, real and imagined? And for God's sake, can't we get no satisfaction? Maisie is the proud winner of So You Think You're Funny 2017 and the Amused Moose National New Comic Award in 2018. She's currently cracking onto television with ITV2's "The Stand-Up Sketch Show", and her debut hour "Vague" was a sell-out smash at last year's Edinburgh Fringe Festival, earning her rave reviews and a nomination for Best Newcomer. "Vague" is soon to be filmed and streamed with NextUp Comedy, and it's a cracking hour of laughs that's not to be missed. And keep 'em peeled for her next hour, coming to the fringe later this year.

Welcome to Episode 22 of The Drunken Comedian Podcast. Our guest this month is the wonderful Maise Adam. Maisie is the winner of So You Think You're Funny 2017 and we discuss he meteoric rise in the comedy world and her best and worst gigs along the way. Beyond that, she gets incredibly anti-podcasts, create general pandemonium over motorway services and  gets offended at one of Matt's darkest questions (which he thought was funny, but heavily misjudged). Follow us at @DrunkComPod and give us 5 Stars on Itunes!

Welcome to the Drunken Comedian Podcast! This is the podcast where I (Matt Hoss) interview and chat to comedians over a couple of drinks and have to edit the podcast when hungover the following morning. This is the first episode, which is acting as a Pilot Episode. This means there will be some teething mistakes and some learning curves, but I think it turned out quite nicely. But feel free to make any comments and judge the pod accordingly. This first one had three comedians after a gig in Canterbury. We chat, drink and have a laugh. We have the fantastic acts of Winter Foenander (who runs The Comedy Defect podcast), Dave Bailey (Kent legend) and Reverend Ravi Holy (Semi-Finalist of So You Think You're Funny 2016 and practicing Reverend of the village of Wye) We talk about being a comedian, the gig we just had and the different nuances of performing. We also discuss hostile crowds and weird gigs. We have some great anecdotes for our pilot episode.  If you like it, please follow us on Twitter and Facebook for :  Twitter: @DrunkComPod Facebook: The Drunken Comedian Podcast -  https://www.facebook.com/DrunkComPod/ Also check out  www.matthosscomedy.com for Matt Hoss live dates and shit.
