Comedy in a Nutshell

In this episode I spoke with stand-up comedian Tony Law, who talked about the NFL, the AI and comedy being cyclical. I think I've seen Tony Law perform maybe thirteen times. From the first time I saw a full show - "Absurdity for the Common People" - in 2017, to just recently when I saw "A Now Begin in Again" for the fourth time at this year's Leicester Comedy Festival. Tony Law is not only a wonderful person to talk to, but also a comedic force of nature. He is unlike anyone I've ever seen perform comedy. On stage he is a whirlwind, with absurdist tangents being thrown out I every direction. As someone who sees a lot of comedy, the opportunity for me to see a performer who is devoid of a punchline is a rare treat, as I don't predict what will happen, but just let it happen, and it is never what I expected. That, for me, is one of the hallmarks of great comedy.

Hello, dear listener. I’m Marc Hershon, your every-other-weekly host of this show. Happy to be back. Last week co-host Tyson Saner was in the hot seat with Succotash Shut-In Epi240, favoring your pearly shell-like ears with clips from such audio wonderments as What Had Happened Was, Oprah's Master Class, and The Al Franken Podcast. You can still catch that installment at our homesite, http://SuccotashShow.com, as well as from Apple and Google Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, the Laughable app and wherever diner soundcasts are streamed and/or downloaded. Just last week - the past two weeks, actually - I was a guest on the Chillpak Hollywood Hour, with Dean Haglund and Phil Leirness, where, along with comedian and writer Suli McCullough, I participated in a comedy roundtable discussion. We talked about our comedy influences, the effect of the pandemic on live performance and the creative process, and more. Check it out when you can at their homesite: ChillpakHollywood.com, or wherever you grab your favorite soundcasts. Back in July I did an episode focusing on some soundcasts that I called Doin’ It Down Under with Jason McNamara, and I tapped our old friend Jabs to find me a quartet of soundcasts from Australia and New Zealand. For this installment, Epi241, entitled Crossin’ The Pond, I leaned on another friend of the show, George Grimwood, to load us up with a four-pack of shows from England and he came through with flying colors. It’s not like we don’t occasionally feature British comedy soundcasts. We recently clipped From the Oasthouse with Alan Partridge, and Strange Times with our friend Davian Dent. But on tap today we’ve got four shows we’ve not featured before, including Looks Familiar, The CheapShow, Rule of Three, and The Adam Buxton Podcast. This episode is sponsored by Henderson’s Pants new Camo Cut-Offs. Let me wax on about George Grimwood for a moment. We met via the socials back in the early 20-teens and then crossed paths in real life at, I believe, the third Los Angeles Podcast Festival. You can hear a short chat I had with him while we were hovering in the lobby area back exactly a hundred episodes ago, in Succotash Episode 141. George runs the Podnose Network that carries a number of soundcast over in England which he points out is “the UK’s leading independent entertainment podcast network,” with thousands of hours of content and more on the way. He himself is rebooting the show he hosts, called The Talk Show Talk Show (no relation to Succotash, the Comedy Soundcast Soundcast…), in which he analyses classic (and not-so-classic) episodes of Late Night talk shows, including Johnny Carson, David Letterman, Conan O’Brien, and more. So George not only suggested the shows we’re clipping today (I actually harvest them myself), but gave me little blurbs about each show which is a tremendous help. Thanks, George! Without further ado, let’s get into this collection of English clips. (Do you think they call snippets crisps over there?) Looks Unfamiliar Our first show, Looks Unfamiliar, features journalist and writer Tim Worthington speaking with a guest about lost nostalgia - aspects of pop culture that have been discarded and forgotten in time, but often remembered fondly or with fear by the guest. Our clip is from recent episode 73 with director Matt Lee, and they’re talking about this service that used to exist called Dial-A-Song, where you could call a number on your phone and hear music played on your phone. CheapShow The CheapShow is a soundcast featuring Paul Gannon and Eli Silverman searching for bizarre treasures one may find in the Poundlands – which is a chain of British variety stores – I think it must be like our Dollar Stores here in the US, as well as bargain bins and charity shops, often culminating in some very unusual discoveries and hilarious segments. Our clip has the two lads reading a submission from a listener about a very strange find. Spoiler alert: It’s a turd. Rule Of Three This next soundcast, Rule of Three, was the winner of the best Arts and Culture division at last year’s British Podcasts Awards…and then promptly went on hiatus. But comedy writers Jason Hazeley and Joel Morris are coming back for more, according to our man George. And good thing, too – this is a super show! The hosts talk to comedians about something funny that they love. Guests pick whatever it is that makes them laugh — a book, a film, a tv show, a comic, a radio show, anything — and then the hosts and guest dig in. Our clip features a guest that I wish was a friend of Succotash, Eddie Izzard. He’s funny, and smart, and the thing he picked to highlight on the show was John Lithgow, specifically from his appearance on TV’s 3rd Rock from The Sun. The Adam Buxton Show The Adam Buxton Show is an interview show, or a “chat show” as they say across the Atlantic. Adam was originally part of Adam & Joe, a thoroughly enjoyable cult television series he did with Joe Cornish. They then became radio personas and, while Joe has been busy directing films, Adam has been podcasting. And writing, too — he recently released a memoir entitled Ramble Book. Our final clip of this episode features Adam’s “Ramble” with Canadian comedian Tony Law, where they share their experiences of being a stranger in a strange land – Disneyland. That’s a wrap on our listen to a few shows from Across the Pond. I realize that some of those accents from the British Isles might be a bit think for some of our US listeners, so I’ll advise you do what I do – listen again. It’s the King’s English, people! You’re bound to pick it up. Thanks once again to George Grimwood of the Podnose Network. If you want to reach out to him, you can email him at podnose@gmail.com. He tells me that they are looking to expand beyond the UK content next year. Who knows? Maybe Succotash can finally get our network stripes! I would love to authentically be able to say, “We’re getting the sign from the network to wrap it up…” Until then, we’re just going to have to wrap it up ourselves. Remember that Tyson will be here next week with another bouquet of soundcasts clips for you. And I’ll be back the week after with something nice for your ears. Until that time, stay safe, keep warm, wear a mask, wash your hands and if anyone asks if you’ve heard anything good lately, won’t you please pass the Succotash? — Marc Hershon

Ed #1 - Laura Lexx and Tony Law - Can Men Be Funny? The King of Edinburgh is back for his 25th Fringe, though he is feeling under the weather thanks to his bloody stupid decision to breed and his possibly hubristic decision to play a 400 seater venue. But never mind he’s got two of the Festival’s most interesting acts to kick off this cavalcade of 21 podcasts in 24 days, Laura Lexx and Tony Law. Two guests on the same day? What? With Laura there’s discussion about ice lollies, whether global warming is a more pressing issue than Brexit, the repercussions of the Edinburgh accommodation crisis, defective chocolate bars and Johnny machines. And Tony chats about the contrasting previous appearances on the podcast, whether terrifyingly drunk or mind-bendingly sober and will it be third time, unwired? Well it’s Tony, so obviously not. Plus the differences between comedians in for the long haul and those hoping for fame, the craziness of Canadian comics, trying to put your children off performing and the acts creating unique shows full of risk. And how does he feel about turning 50? It’s good to be back.See RHLSTP at the Fringe and guests here http://richardherring.com/rhlstpt/tourSee Laura Lexx’s Knee-jerk - https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/laura-lexx-knee-jerkSee Tony Law Identifies - https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/tony-law-identifiesSee Tony Law and Phil Nichol - https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/tony-law-and-phil-nichol-virtue-chamber-echo-bravoT-shirt by @manwhohasitall See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In this episode, Chris is interviewing the award-winning comedian, Tony Law. They discuss his career as a comedian and how he has dealt with stress during his professional journey. Tony talks with honesty and candour about the challenges he has faced and provides a fascinating insight into the world of a successful comedian. Listen in now to hear more.   KEY TAKEAWAYS We often look at people in the public eye and their personas and but need to remember that everyone has anxieties and challenges, as humans we are essentially all the same. Why do you think your style of comedy appeals to people? I think it’s the subject matter I always do some self-deprecation, making a victim of yourself when you are the one who’s behaved badly. I go and see lots of other comedians and then try to find a subject that is completely different to them something they haven’t thought of, to use when I’m writing. I have my little niche and try to keep my shows interesting doing one or two bits that are a little bit naughty, to catch people out a bit.   What is the professional world of comedy like? The day to day is very stressful, and I’ve been doing it for so long now, I can’t do anything else. Before being a comedian, I tried lots of other jobs, but nothing was a career choice, comedy is who I am. It’s a very insecure job and there is always the stress of needing to pay for the essentials in life such as food and rent. The stressful part is the worry, there is always the joy of performing but the stress is always in the background.   What has your career journey been? I’ve found it difficult not to be resentful of those who have alternative means and can spend a year perfecting a comedy routine without the stress of needing to get laughs at the pub gig every week. When it is your job you have to generate an income and so as a comedian its always on to the next gig with lots of travelling in between. The pub gigs are a good discipline to help you to find the funny, the expectation is that you will get laughs and it is an opportunity to make sure your material can entertain. Festivals such as The Edinburgh Fringe festival are echo chambers for the liberal arts, reflecting back things people already think. If you are a brave comedian you will be doing a show to the crowd at a NASCAR race event, not the fringe where everyone already has the same view. Ultimately it's about getting laughs and trying to be original and if you have a message at the end people should be able to make up their own minds later. You’re taking your audience on a journey. There’s thought behind it but not necessarily literal thought, it's more about a feeling.   Who were your comedy heroes growing up? All the classics such as Monty Python, but I came to them late, I was 15 when I first experienced them, and it changed my life. I was a funny kid all my life, that was how I got my love or attention, I was always the funny guy, it was when I discovered Monty Python that I realised comedy was a thing. I also hugely enjoy and appreciate the comedy work of The Goons and the genius of Spike Milligan, the comedy that isn’t saying anything but still makes you laugh.   Do you think comedy has become more or less stressful over the years? Early in my career, I found it really stressful because clubs can be bear pits and I’m not really suited to the heckling in that environment because it changes what you do, and you become combative. I attributed a lot of my stress in the early part of my career to nerves, I am in a very different place in my career now and still have nerves but it’s different as they are about excitement. The competitive aspect of individuals in the comedy profession hasn’t changed. Earlier in my career, there were fewer comedians, but a lot fewer gigs available, now there are lots of opportunities even though there are many more comedians. I feel the stress more now because I have dependents, children who I need to be able to look after. I have responsibilities and so the end result, to make a living,  is more important now.   Can you learn from the mistakes you make? The first 2 years of being sober were tricky because I was trying to find out who I was. You are in a position of having wisdom but are lacking maturity. You think you don’t need to fix yourself and just want people to like you this can lead to you be an untrue person. Sometimes you have to be brutal and honest with yourself so that you can look after and support your family. As soon as you are able to acknowledge your true nature then you are able to manage it effectively. If you can overcome your confidence you can own the world, often its confidence that holds us back.   BEST MOMENTS ‘My comedy veers quite a lot into art’ ‘You get into problems you didn’t even know existed’ ‘I don’t try and do anything that I don’t find funny’ ‘I feel like I’m at home everywhere in Britain’ ‘You’ve got to sell your soul’ ‘You’re constantly scanning to identify any possible dangers’ ‘It’s not brave telling each other about what we already think’ ‘You can’t be so precious about what you do’ ‘My comedy is about me trying to find my place in the world’ ‘It’s about me trying to navigate and find out how I can be funny’ ‘Driving is the thing that really helps me with stress.' ‘I listen to podcasts and audible books when I’m in the car’   VALUABLE RESOURCES https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/serial-stress-killer/id1438515546?mt=2   ABOUT THE HOST After many years of dealing (badly) with personal stress for over 20 years, Chris Hackett is on a mission to help people understand and overcome stress and anxiety by tackling the problem head-on.   CONTACT METHOD Contact the show https://serialstresskiller.com https://www.facebook.com/groups/serialstresskiller https://www.instagram.com/serialstresskiller Support the show - https://www.patreon.com/serialstresskiller What’s been your favourite episode so far?

Welcome, welcome, welcome to episode 221 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! Some good old fashioned comedy gold for you this episode, as Pip is joined by Anglo-Canadian sensation Tony Law!Well - it would be a lie to say the entire episode is 100% comedy… While Tony is heavily schooled in the trade of standup and panel, his life hasn’t been one long standing ovation by any means. Prepare for some hard hitting reflections from a man who has fought the real fight with alcoholism and addiction, bridge burning, and all that entails, while dealing with almost becoming homeless and losing a LOT. I mean, don’t be put off by that - you’ll be listening to the story of a man who has come through that with a confident outlook and a tale that can surely inspire and instil that same positivity in any one of us. And who can resist that accent too, come on now. So join Pip and Tony as they get down to business on such topics as how Tony tracked Pip down, rebuilding his life after sobriety and the steps involved in doing so, being wilfully obtuse as a comedian as a strategy, the underground vs the mainstream (ah that old chestnut), chasing the England punk ideal, his background in history tours and how that sharpened his improv tools, also how becoming sober sharpened his comedy tools, and overall becoming better through bad experiences. A lot going on but certainly a truly interesting story and one that will inspire and uplift.

RHLSTP #102: tonylawexhausts.co.uk - Tony Law. Richard finds a bona fide cool kid in the audience and inexpertly attempts to mock him (you'd think he'd be better at comedy after all these years, but no), before introducing a force of nature and veritable river of consciousness, Tony Law, in his new mutton-chopped, ice-cream eating, alcohol-shunning, heavenly body impersonating incarnation. It's like his brain is a radio and someone is constantly swivelling the dial so that one moment you're on history, then fantasy, then insanity and then pinpoint sane philosophy. It's a discombobulating journey to go on, especially if, like Richard, you're getting a bit tired, but Herring gamely attempts (and largely fails) to get some questions in. In the end he more or less gives in, but Law is an unstoppable force of nature and cannot be silenced. Though the fear is that, at any point, something might happen to upset the fragile mental balance that somehow remains teetering on equilibrium... and that thing might very well be Desert Island Dicks. Finally, when the conversation turns to the supernatural things start to make sense. But Richard is knocked out and defeated and was right to say he wasn't looking forward to writing this blurb.

RHEFP 2013 #7: Ian Lavender, Tony Law and Carey Marx - Molly Sugden's Space Pussy. A week into the Fringe and madness may be descending. An exuberant Tony Law has been celebrating having someone to help him look after his children by making a night of it. And the night might still be going on. It's hard to tell, as he's always like this. But will mixing a pumped up Law with a quietly spoken (possibly too quietly spoken to be heard) Ian Lavender cause them to reach the same level or explode? Nothing makes sense any more, but there's a lot of stuff about Mary Beard and owls and the Who and then some slightly less insane (but only by comparison) information about Goodnight Sweetheart, Molly Sugden, Elke Somer in a shower and whether a forty year old catchphrase has ever made Lavender snap. Or will being sandwiched between a bickering Law and Herring be enough. Fantastic stand-up interspersed between the mayhem from Carey Marx.

2012 #14: New is Old and North is South - Tony Law and Lou Sanders. Richard is resting on his laurels after winning gold at Mark Watson's Edinborolympics for throwing an orange into a bucket whilst wearing another bucket on his head. Tired from the exertion, he's hoping he can take a back seat and get through a day of work without anyone knowing he's slacking. But that's hard when you're on a stage in a spotlight and there's only one other person there. This time it's handsome Canadian Tony Law who has stories of watching Monty Python on a farm, fancying Roman statues, responsible child care and fomenting war between the north and south based venues in Edinburgh. Rich explains his apparent inability to understand direction or the age of buildings once he crosses the Scottish border and Tony and the audience attempt to help, but to no avail. Stand-up from p]Lou Sanders[/p] that has to be seen to be believed, but still works in audio format. Go and see her at 9.30pm at the Pleasance Attic.

Rich has slept in and not had much time to prepare for the show, but luckily it doesn't seem to matter as there are lots of people in and they're drinking and they're up for fun - even if some of the more mature members are furious about the monarchy. Plus an update on the teenage girls and their mum from yesterday. Rich makes friends with a History student called Sleeveland or something, whose knowledge of Guy Fawkes is pitiful. Today's main guest is Tony Law who is enjoying the time away from his young children and having a cool pint of lager. His impressive face hair provides the subject for much of the conversation - though he seems to deflect Rich's request to kiss him, but the predominance of hair cuts and t-shirts on the Edinburgh posters also gets a look in and there are tales of Edinburgh's past as usual. Stand-up is from Chris McCausland.
