After our previous Ritual, we all felt something was a bit off and so we wanted to jump back in with our contact within The Secret Chiefs - BLACK - to see if he could tell us a bit more about what happened in the previous ritual and why we felt a bit off afterwards. We then also asked BLACK to answer a question each from Spud, Jason and myself.

This episode is all about Ireland's contribution to the world of crisps. For many Irish, the cheese and onion Tayto crisp is the equivalent of Proust's madeleine. As outsiders, Julia, Blanca, and Mei have observed the Tayto phenomenon with fascination.  This episode was recorded March 5, so while we rubbed our hands with Purell, we were still three friends and a baby, sitting around the table sharing a bag of crisps. SpiceBags explores why the Tayto crisp (created by a man called “Spud” Murphy) is an important culinary pioneer, not only in Ireland, but also to the world. We also touch upon American and Spanish potato crisps, like Cape Cod, Pringles, and Bonilla a la Vista, the artisan Galician crisp whose popularity soared after being featured in the Korean Oscar-winning film Parasite. After all, this is a snack that we globally share.   Warning: this episode contains moments of audible crunching. Spice Bags is part of the HeadStuff Podcast Network (https://www.headstuff.org/spice-bags)

Left in a state of confusion at the end of Part 1, Jimmy “Skiver” McIver manages to kick start his quest to inherit old school mate Roger Soul's considerable fortune.By way of an Italian volcano via an East Kent hillside, Jimmy (and occasionally, his trusty side-kick Spud Murphy) face their sternest challenge yet – from an unlikely source.Hear how love (aided and abetted by bucket loads of money) wins through for our hero...in  curiously dubious circumstances. 

Ashes to Ashford is a “quest” story…with a difference.Instead of a heroic Odysseus, Sir Lancelot or Luke Skywalker, we have Jimmy McIver, a feckless Cockney failure living in 21st Century England.  Having made very little of his existence thus far, Jimmy is given one last chance to “make it big” by a now-deceased old school friend and success story, Roger Soul.  To inherit his earth, McIver must successfully complete four tasks set for him by Roger.  In Part 1, we hear what these challenges are and how Jimmy fares with the first two of them, accompanied by his doughty assistant Spud Murphy – imagine an Irish version of Sancho Panza.What could possibly go wrong?  Listen in to both parts and see how McIver makes it.

http://thecomedycast.com We started off the interview speaking about where Sam is from, Newport in Wales, a place famous for having a documentary about bouncers and a new KFC. We spoke about living in and growing in a place with a Bad Reputation. We had a chat then about Sam's comedic influences and how they've affected his style of comedy, we spoke about Sam mixing styles on stage and how his favourite comedians are Canadians. We delve into that a bit and try and pick at what it is about Canadian comedians that Sam likes and any synergy between Wales & Canada. We speak about Sam getting into comedy at the ripe old age of 17 and I wanted to know whether he'd been a bit bulled on the scene of if everyone was supportive of him. We spoke about his first gig at an open mic in a hotel along with a friend who also wanted to try it. We spoke about how Sam's sets have evolved over the year, going from trying to make audiences laugh to joking about the things that make him laugh. We speak then about comedy competitions, their pros and cons and how they can be useful for new comedians but difficult to take part in at the same time. Finally then we'd a chat then about Sam loving the challenge of keeping his jokes fresh so that both he and his audience don't get bored of the same jokes. We talk as well about Sam starting a new comedy night in Cardiff soon with YAY! comedy.

http://thecomedycast.com/ Today you'll be hearing from English stand-up comedian Stuart Edwards. I won't lie to you all, you're smart listeners but I had a bit of a man crush on Stuarts sumptuous ginger beard, but Stuart had some bad news for me. We followed that up with a quick chat about a recent role Stuart had played that involved trying to tempt kids with sweet from the back of a van. Stuart is based in the mighty Northern England stronghold of Newcastle and I'd a few questions about the area that needed answering, pease pudding and people punching police horses. We got onto comedy then and spoke about how and why Stuart got into comedy and his first gig. Stuart revealed that he'd been gigging the night before and it didn't exactly go very well so we delved into that topic, I wanted to know how a comedian picks himself up after such a gig and how it affects them and their confidence. Stuart's only been at comedy for two and a half years but we had a chat about the highs and lows that he's already experienced. Stuart speaks then about his love for East-Coast American comedians and how they've had a much larger influence on him that British comedians. We spoke about the prevalence of middle-of-the-road comedy that is a stable of British TV now and how it's a sad reflection of what's happening on the live circuit. We got a bit serious then and spoke about how some comedians can get away with using certain taboo words and how they skirt dangerously with crossing the line of what is and isn't acceptable. We talk about conspiracy theories and why Stuart doesn't see a need for covering his laptop camera when he's doing certain things. We speak too about The Super Dooper Awesome Foursome and why teaming up with other comedians and touring with them is so beneficial for all parties involved. Finally then we speak about Stuart's podcast, Analyze These, how he's currently preparing for the upcoming Glasgow Comedy Festival and how writing with other comedians can be pretty awkward.

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.

http://thecomedycast.com/ Tara Flynn will be well-known to anyone that has even the slightest interest in the Irish comedy scene and before hanging up her stand-up microphone to concentrate on writing was a regular face on the stand-up scene all over the world. We started off then talking about where Tara's from in Ireland and why she has a definite Irish accent but one that's hard to exactly place. Tara is well-known in Ireland too for appearing on approximately 20 million radio ads and when you have a voice as pure lovely as her it's easy to understand why she's in demand. But I had to ask her if she'd ever thought of getting into radio presenting. Lord knows Irish radio could do with a dose of humour on the airwaves. That led us on to talking about how to get projects from the pitch and script phase to actually getting it made and she revealed that she's currently working on a new book and a TV show. We spoke then about Tara's previous two books "You're Grand" and "Giving Out Yards" and about how a satirical look at Irish life has led her into taking a more serious approach to writing and to becoming, accidentally, involved in activism. Tara then spoke about why she gave up her career in stand-up after 10 years and why she feels that the big issues we're being faced with deserve more than just a comic response and how they should be tacked head on, protested against and goes into how direct action is needed. We returned to comedy then and spoke about how and why Tara got into comedy and how she had been an actor before embarking on a successful career in stand-up comedy. She spoke too about her undying love for improv comedy and that she still loves to performs with Dublin Comedy Improv. We spoke about Tara's regular articles over on the excellent Headstuff.org and they types of issues she writes about weekly. Finally then we spoke about Tara's activism regarding the Repeal the 8th movement in Ireland; a movement in Ireland asking for a referendum on abortion rights and about why she's proud of being a Social Justice Warrior.

http://thecomedycast.com/ Lorcan McGrane's a comedian that I really admire, a man doing his own thing and on his own terms. Unlike many comedians that attach themselves to a scene in a certain city he's doing his own thing living in rural County Monaghan, a border county in the north of the Republic of Ireland, but it's not Northern Ireland, even though it is in Ulster and has a border with Northern Ireland, and all the counties of Northern Ireland are in Ulster. It's all a bit mad, Monaghan's a bit like that. Anyway, we kicked off the interview by talking about the McGrane surname, Id' read it was derived from a Scotsman who left the Kingdom of Dalriada on the Scottish isle of Jura. Lorcan put me in my place though and informed me that the name comes from McGrainne and explains why that's a bit unusual. We spoke about growing up and living in Co. Monaghan with that constant feeling that everyone is watching everything that everyone does, all the time. We spoke about not falling into the trap of so-called 'edgy comedy' and how comedy promoters seems to love phrases like 'no holds barred' and 'anything goes' but you're not allowed be racist or sexist, and you're not anyway coz only scumbags are racist and sexist. Lorcan revealed that remaining real and truthful to yourself brings out the best in comedy. Lorcan told me about the time he was asked to do a set in front of the local GAA crowd, which didn't really go down as well as had been hoped. We chatted too about two of Lorcan's favourite subjects, geek culture and films, in particular superhero movies. The commonalities of teaching and stand-up comedy get a mention too, Lorcan is a lecturer in pop culture and has done his fair share of substitute teaching too so we chat about that and what they have in common. The rise of 'fake news' gets a mention too, it's only coming to the fore now but Lorcan tells us it's been around for a good while. We speak about some of Lorcan's alter egos on stage, Dermot H. Dark Materials, Livid Lorcan and Defective Deckard 237 and how exploring themes through new characters can open up a whole new take on things. We spoke then about the advantages of being a stand-up comedians while living in Co. Monaghan, not too far from the Dublin and Belfast scenes but still too far away from them to fell connected to them and how ploughing his own furrow suits Lorcan down to the ground. Finally then we spoke about Lorcan's comedic influences and his advice for new comedians.

http://thecomedycast.com/ W.T. Fallon is the author behind one of 2016's best works of political satire, Fail to the Chief, a book about a USA Presidential race based on the concept of reality TV. Under another pseudonym, V.R. Craft, she has also written a science fiction book called Stupid Humans. We stated off the interview by talking about pseudonyms and why the are an important literary device for authors; the importance of being able to create a new identity while writing in a different genre. We speak to about the importance of using critique groups when writing and taking onboard constructive criticism. We speak about W.T.'s work of satire Fail to the Chief, inp particular how she enjoying putting her Presidential hopefuls through menial jobs and lie detector tests. We spoke then about where political satire is these days and its importance, especially now that President Trump has somehow come to power and certainly seems to have it in for the media. That led us on to the modern phenomenon of fake news and how there's such a thin line between fake news and satire. We had a chat then about where W.T. is from, Arkansas and how it's not pronounced how it's spelt and why, for some reason, the state drink is cow's milk. We chat about W.T.'s literary and comedic influences growing up and how they've inspired her to write, that and getting sacked from a retail job which she describes as hellish. We speak too about W.T.'s other book under the V.R. Craft pseudonym, Stupid Humans a science fiction book about Humans fighting People. Finally then, we had a natter about W.T.'s love of comedy and how she desires to write jokes for performers and maybe even try stand-up comedy in the future.

http://thecomedycast.com Hello and welcome back to The Comedy Cast; today you'll be hearing from Summer Helene, one of Hollywood's rising stars. I won't lie, this is a bit of a scoop for The Comedy Cast, as you obviously know we concentrate on stand-up comedians and authors so when I was presented with the chance to talk to someone who works, not even works, who organises everything behind the camera I grabbed it. Summer has had an incredible career and she's only going to get bigger and bigger in Hollywood, the list of films she's been involved with is far too big to go into here but she mentions a few in the interview. She also mentions her new role as Studio Head which she'll be taking on during the year. We start off the interview talking about growing up in Australia and getting her first gig as a model with Victoria's Secret, and then moving to America to pursue a career in acting. We spoke about how she has to shoulder two nicknames; The Duchess of Hollywood and The Wicked Witch of The West Coast and how and why she got them. We spoke about how she handles diva-like characters and directors who 'get too big for their breeches'. Summer tells a great story about how Ron Jeremy was the one who convinced her to go from being an actor to working behind the camera. We also talk about how to pitch a film to get it made, who to speak to and how to get your pitch down. I even try my hand at a pitch and was pleasantly surprised with the reaction I got.

This is a rebroadcast of the Robbie Bonham interview from October 6th. Today you'll be hearing from Irish comedian Robbie Bonham. Robbie will be well-known to anyone that follows the Irish comedy scene, he's been gigging for many years now and is renowned for his honesty and his dealing with personal issues while on stage. This was a real education for me; to speak to a comedian in a time of real transition, as someone who has to deal yet again with alcoholism, relationship difficulties and depression, while also re-entering education as an adult and trying to re-find his place in comedy. Robbie's a bit of a hero of mine as you'll hear in the podcast and I wish him well for the future and I hope that we can speak again on the podcast because I feel he has a lot more to say regarding comedy and I strongly feel that his comedic talents have been somewhat overlooked in Ireland, but hopefully in the years to come he'll finally get the recognition and praise he deserves.

This is a rebroadcast of the Ruth E. Cockburn interview that aired on September 8th. Today you'll be hearing from an English comedian from Blackpool, Ruth E. Cockburn (it's not pronounced as it's spelt, so behave). We had a right old natter about her former career as a substitute teacher, teaching things like sex education to teenagers, why she got into comedy, her influences, her Donald Trump song and her current project Love Letters from Blackpool which she plans to tour next year.

Today you'll be hearing from Irish stand-up comedian Sean Marshall. It being so close to Christmas we had to, at least, appear seasonal and have a natter about it, so we had a chat about Christmas in Dublin and the 12 Pubs of Christmas phenomenon that has swept the country like a wave of beer-vomit over the last few years. Then we got onto the main act and the reason you're listening; comedy. We spoke about how and why Sean got into it, seeing comedy as a challenging calling, even though happy in his work Sean decided comedy was something he had to have a go at. And in a complete act of the bizarre it turns out that Sean and I are not only from the same county in Ireland, we grew up around 10 miles from each other, but don't worry we don't spend too long on it. In his other life Sean is a bit of a science geek, well, not a bit of he's even got a Masters in it (in Science Communication) and had been hosting his own podcast called Science Chat. So we had a really illuminating talk about Science Communication and its place in the wider world and the uphill battle scientists must fight to keep the general population up to speed and educated. We spoke about Sean's influences growing up and of course our traditional closing question on advice for comedians.

Today you'll be hearing from an American stand-up comedian and actor Missy Grynkiewicz. We started off the interview talking about how she got the name Missy and how her previous career as an acting teacher and director helped her when she stated comedy. We spoke too about Missy's style of comedy and why she prefers to keep her comedy personal and relatable. We chatted about being from Maryland, how to pronounce it properly and how the whole state isn't anything like the Baltimore depicted in The Wire. We nattered about kids and why it's so much easier to love them when they're not actually around you. Then we chatted about Missy receiving a Grammy Nomination for her comedy album "Miss Representation" and the current state of comedy albums. We spoke about Missy receiving dickpics and how underneath it all it's actually quite touching and finally we spoke about "Days of Power" a movie starring Missy and Eric Roberts (of The Dark Knights, The Expendables and The Cable Guy fame) due for release in February 2017.

Today you'll be hearing from an American stand-up comedian Liysa Callsen. Liysa and I had a great chat about all things comedy. First we spoke about why she got into comedy and why, in some of her YouTube videos, you'll hear her saying "Improv saved her life." So we had a chat about changing direction in life at a time when most people are settled and finding true happiness through comedy. We talked too about Liysa's comedy coming from a very personal place, rather than ganging up on easy targets she believes in being truthful with the audience. We spoke about her influences growing up, she talked too about growing up the daughter of blind parents and marrying a blind man and all the comedy-gold material that provided her with. We also spoke about the new trend in the corporate world of using improve comedy for team building and motivational exercises. And finally we spoke about her latest undertaking; Women, Wine & Whiskey.

Today you'll be hearing from Welsh stand-up comedian Robin Morgan. Had a really insightful chat with Robin about comedy. Robin writes for the BBC Radio 4's The New Quiz, among others, so it was great to talk to him about the transition of going from writing his own material for his own shows to writing material both with other comedians and for them. We had a chat about Welsh comedy, moving up to London. Comedy advice from his parents, how he works on his stand-up routine and his flirtation with the Welsh Death Metal scene.

Today you'll be hearing from an American stand-up comedian, Karen Rontowski. Had a great laugh with Karen, not only about comedy, but also about what she likes to do in her spare time; reading tarot cards and ghost hunting. Of course, we also have a chat about comedy; why Karen got into the business, her influences, clean comedy and her appearance on the David Letterman show.

Lloyd Mason – Jamaican Pre-Ska - Bass, Flute, Oboe, Piccolo The Val Bennett orchestra was playing dance music at a house party on Lloyd Mason’s street (7th Street in Greenwich Town) and a five year old Lloyd snuck out of the house to listen to the orchestra and he stayed there all night long. “Thats where I belong and I believe that’s where my music started – right there.” In 1945 at age ten, Lloyd was living with his mother and became unruly. Soon, his father came to get him and brought him to Stony Hill School. Lloyd’s father served in the Jamaican Army with the bandmaster and arranged for this move in order to teach Lloyd a trade or to learn music. Lloyd was not put into music immediately. He was taken to learn shoe-making. Six months later, the bandmaster came to speak with him and examined Lloyd’s fingers and his mouth, handed him a six-hole fife and said, “You’re going to learn this.” Bass player, Cluett Johnson’s brother was also a youth at Stony Hill School and he played the piccolo. Cluett’s brother taught Lloyd the fife. Roland Alphonso was also at Stony Hill and was playing the slide drum. Despoite his young age, Lloyd became accomplished at the flute in playing with Stony Hill Boy’s Band. Over at the Jamaican Military Band, a man named Spud Murphy was the drum major and the flute and piccolo player. As it came time for Spud Murphy to retire, The Military Band was challenged as it had no trained members to play the fife. None could read, write, or play the fife. To address this need, the Bandmaster for the Military Band spoke with the bandmaster at Stony Hill about Lloyd’s move to the Military Band. There was no audition for Lloyd Mason after Spud Murphy left. It was obvious who had the ability to fit the role. The fellow band members began to call him “Spuddy” or “Boy Mason.” Lloyd was the youngest person in the Jamaican Military Band and was a “young hand.” Marjorie Whylie (well known educator and Musical Director of The Jamaican National Dance Theatre Company) commented on the work of Mr. Mason, “Lloyd Mason is a well known bass player who can read music very well and is an absolute asset for musicians in his company.” _______________________________________________________ Selected Cuts: Off the “I Cover the Water Front” LP Port-O-Jam Records, Recorded at Federal Studios Featuring Cecil Lloyd (Piano), Lloyd Mason (Bass), Roland Alphonso (Tenor Saxophone), Lowell Morris (Drums), Don Drummond (Trombone) “Sometimes I Am Happy” “Loafers and Wristless” “Grooving With The Beat” ________________________________________________________ Off the “Jazz Jamaica” LP, Studio One Records, Recorded at Federal Studios Featuring Don Drummond (Trombone), Ernest Ranglin (Guitar), Cecil Lloyd (Piano), Carl McLeod (Drums), Billy Cooke (Trumpet), Tommy McCook (Tenor Saxaphone), Roland Alphonso (Tenor Saxophone), Lloyd Mason (Bass). “Calypso Jazz” “Serenade In Sound” (Featuring Don Drummond) b “The Answer” (Featuring Tommy McCook)
