Welcome to Eyes & Teeth The Worlds Greatest Variety Show, Season 15 edition 6 with the one and only Harry Hill.Harry is about to embark on a new UK Tour with his new musical Tony Blair the Rock Opera. So today we catch up and talk about his work as a stand up comedian, musical producer, admirer of ventriloquists and their dummies, Sean Lock and much more. Harry's success on television brought him awards and millions of fans but it was his decision to end the TV show that made him a household name as the schedule was gruelling and besides he is now able to tour his Stand Up show, write more books, collaborate with Steve Brown on exciting projects as well as be at home with his family instead of watching 12 hours of TV dramas and soaps for little comedy nuggets. Until I read his biography FIGHT I didn't know how much hands on harry was in putting together these clips but that is the main reason he wanted more freedom after a good 10 years on ITV. My wife Nina & I loved the show so much we went along to one of the recordings to see the magic happen and he had us in hysterics as usual.One thing Harry does have as well as his successful career is that he has his charm laid back nature and I was delighted he agreed to our chat on Eyes & Teeth and its just in time to mention that the Tony Blair Rock Opera is now on sale at the Leicester Square Theatre and is on from April 15th to my 21st before going on a National Tour.Oh while I'm here my theatre Tour Ventriloquest – A Life in the Day of Arthur Lager continues April to August and can be seen in Hunstanton, Southampton, Hastings, Bungay Norfolk, Saddleworth, Verwood Dorset, Eastbourne, Chelmsford, Stafford, Axminster, Shanklin IOW, Ivybridge, Bromyard midlands, Haverhill Suffolk, Paighton and Ilfracombe in DEVON.Got to www.thestevehewlettshow.com for dates.Now its time for a special edition of Eyes & Teeth with Harry Hill

Adam's book Twelve Summers is out now.Twelve Summers is the story of those big memories and the big matches that accompanied them, told by one of the funniest writers in Australia. Those who only know today’s guest Ed Kavalee from television are getting just a fraction of his personality. His close friend, Josh Lawson, used to call him the unofficial mayor of Melbourne.If you needed to get into a popular club or restaurant – you’d talk to Ed. I’d go further than that, if you needed a kidney, you’d talk to Ed.Certainly, if you need someone to give you a rousing speech that will make you feel like you can lift a mountain, Ed’s the guy to go to.Ed came up through theatre sports and worked in radio promotions before becoming Tony Martin’s co-host on Get This.Then, when Get This was inexplicably pulled off the air despite bumper ratings, Ed became the co-host on Nova’s Hughesy and Kate.Many radio gigs followed, as well as a stint in LA and now he’s hosting Hughesy, Ed and Erin on 2dayFM.His TV credits include being a series regular on Thank God You’re Here, TV Burp, Santo, Sam and Ed’s Cup Fever, and now Have You Being Paying Attention. SocialsTwitter - Adam ZwarFacebook - Adam Zwar 10 Questions with Adam Zwar is produced in part by Nearly Media.More about Out of the Question: https://www.nearly.com.au/out-of-the-question-with-adam-zwar/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week we review - Harry Hill's World Of TV (Series 1 Episode 4)Whether this is one of those programmes that defies description, doesn't inspire people to write more than the title or just so obviously "does what it says on the tin", the most that we could find written in explanation about Harry Hill's world Of TV was "Harry Hill takes the lid off a different genre of TV each week'.In fairness, he does use amusing clips from the archives to have a laugh at different genres of telly, such as soaps and medical dramas, so that does pretty well sum up the show.Very obviously drawing from the successful formula of the ITV show Harry Hill's TV Burp and despite the similarities, the BBC have perhaps wisely chosen to exclude the titular gastric expulsion.Written by Harry HillProduced by David Price & Sam TerroniDirected by Barry CastagnolaA NIT Production for BBC.Harry Hill's World Of TV is available here: https://bbc.in/3hjHSAg The Comedy Slab Podcast is available on Apple Podcasts, Spreaker, Stitcher, iHeart Radio, Spotify and Youtube.

Australian actor-writer-director Josh Lawson always wanted to be involved in filmmaking. While in drama school and then college, he always kept up his writing as he moved into sitcoms and movies, like TV Burp, Kinne, The Little Death, and most recently, Long Story Short. You've also seen him in the new Mortal Kombat as Kano, along with roles in The Eleven O'Clock and Anchorman 2. Lawson is the writer-director of the romantic comedy, Long Story Short. The movie stars Rafe Spall and Zahra Newman. The description reads “Teddy wakes up the morning after his wedding to discover that every few minutes he's jumping forward to the next year of his life.” In this interview, we discuss high-concept comedies, why comedy films are often overlooked today, creative editing versus reshoots, lessons from James Burrows (Cheers, Will & Grace), why he dislikes mumblecore, and how to embrace adventure with magical realism.

It's the Ed Kavalee special where two shows that Ed featured in prominantly. Zak and Ainslie decide which of these two comedy series is the superior show? Is it the ground breaking improv based live sketch show that spawned two international spin offs? Or TV Burp which only lasted 8 episodes before being pulled by the network? It's some stiff competition but you'll only know the answer if you listen to this weeks episode.

This week YOLOBirder is joined by the best selling nature writer and international tour guide Dominic Couzens, who discusses his lifelong love of birds and the five species that mean the most to him.
