If you can´t get enough of these podcasts, head to https://www.patreon.com/DannyHurst to access my exclusive, member-only, fun-filled and fact-packed history-related videos. KEY TAKEAWAYS Susan Murray runs the Red Imp comedy club in Walthamstow. Working on Spitting Image and one of the UK´s first adult animation shows was her path into comedy. Susan is the person behind the current comedian’s Christmas party. Held in January because everyone is working at Xmas. 95% of comics get their gigs from the Facebook page Susan started. It's still quite hard being a woman in comedy, but things are improving. Some rooms are terrible for comedy. Gigs in low ceiling rooms are easier, but ones with mirrors or round tables are hell. You can´t second guess a room, some of the gigs Susan thought would be dreadful e.g. A room full of stag parties were great. When Susan makes bread it always looks like John Merrick´s head. Comedians who do the Edinburgh Fringe end up losing money. BEST MOMENTS “I'm Scottish, manufactured, Black Country raised.” “Then The Young Ones burst on the screen, and it literally blew my mind.” “Barry Cryer was an anecdote machine.” “Gigs are a bit nicer than they used to be.” “Why would you heckle a deaf comic?” “I had people ringing me up going, can you never stop baking your s**t bread.” “You get to be really rude to people in the audience, they love it, and then you get paid for it…. What more could you want from life?” “Comedy is a delicate flower you can´t shove it anywhere and expect it to thrive.” EPISODE RESOURCES http://susan-murray.co.uk/up-coming-gigs http://www.redimpcomedy.com Find a gig FB page - https://www.facebook.com/groups/284118201700872 HOST BIO Historian, performer, and mentor Danny Hurst has been engaging audiences for many years, whether as a lecturer, stand-up comic or intervention teacher with young offenders and excluded secondary students.

Hi Guys, welcome back to TV Reload. Thank you for clicking or downloading on today's episode with Stephen K Amos. Our 7th eliminated celebrity from I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here for 2024. The internationally renowned funnyman was an absolute joy in the camp, providing endless stories and entertainment for his campmates throughout their stay. Stephen wowed his campmates with his endless tales of the famous faces he's encountered, his origins in the comedy scene, and a hilarious emergency that saw him turn his beloved Porsche into a port-a-loo. Stephen also shared some more serious truths with the camp, opening up about his experiences of racial violence, revealing how he received a scar on his face from an assault when he was a student. I quick not to point out is Stephen's chosen charity Banksia Palliative Care Service, which is a not-for-profit that provides essential 24-hour, holistic palliative care and support to children and adults living with progressive terminal illnesses. Stephen will reveals if he had been asked to do the UK version of I'm a Celebrity and also explains how the two different countries version are quite different. We will get to hear what sort of Jungle content we will see in his upcoming comedy show and why he might lose a few of his new friends. I will also talk about his relationships with Australian comedian and find out if his established relationship with Julia Morris helped him get on the show? I am also going to talk about how this show has changed him for life and what changes he is going to make with his relationship with his phone. There is so much to unpack with Stephen.
