The Comedian's Comedian Podcast

Paul Foot has one of the most refreshingly original comic voices in the world. We delve deep into the 13 years he spent being brilliant but unreliable, and the psychological toll imposed by the heroic deaths necessary to achieve genuine excellence. We talk about his writing partnership, his "guild of connoisseurs", and the Australian run of shows that changed everything... Hungry for more? Experience Paul's jaw-droppingly comprehensive 30 minute explanation of his "seven styles of comedy" (possibly impenetrable to the casual listener), and discover the origin of his utterly unique dress code, all available now to members of the Insiders Club! Go to www.comedianscomedian.com/insiders to support the show with £2 per month or more, and get access to a treasure trove of secret podcast extra material and special projects, including the chance to interview Stu on the subject of your choice, or give community feedback to clips from up and coming comedians. See Paul Foot at this year's Ed Fringe@PaulFootwww.paulfoot.tvThe Guild of Connoisseurs@ComComPodSee Stuart live on tour - www.stuartgoldsmith.com/comedy Hosted on Acast.

Splicing together physical absurdity with beautifully cerebral joke-writing, John Luke Roberts is responsible for some genuinely ground-breaking comedy. We discuss how he was vice-president of Cambridge Footlights while not feeling part of it, how he battles his ego and why he was drawn to Ecole Phillipe Gaulier.  We also explore what it feels like to perform as a terrifying clown of your own dead father... Extras available by joining the Insiders Club at www.comedianscomedian.com/insiders include the inside story on ACMS and his "mutually-assured" relationship with co-host Thom Tuck, and his thoughts on why even though the highs of improv and musical comedy are high indeed, the entry level is pretty low... @JLukeRoberts / Tickets for John Luke's 2018 Ed Fringe show Stu's remaining tour dates:29/06/2018 Tringe FestivalAnd get information on Stu's Ed Fringe show 'End Of' HERE.@ComComPodSee Stuart live on tour - www.stuartgoldsmith.com/comedy Hosted on Acast.

Comedian, broadcaster, science-afficionado and author of forthcoming psychological memoir "I'm A Joke And So Are You", Robin Ince's ideas flow through him like neutrinos. We discuss his constant state of "hypervigilant" anxiety, improvisation and tangents, success and frustration. Once or twice he even pauses for breath... @RobinInce | www.RobinInce.com | The Infinite Monkey Cage  Hear an extra 40 minutes of Robin Ince, as well as bonus material from the likes of Dara O'Briain, James Acaster and more, PLUS a load of other interactive comedy projects giving you more tailored direct advice on creating work...

A fitting guest for the Sestercentennial of the show, Simon "The Patrician" Evans was once Guest Zero - without him the podcast might not exist at all. A touring and club powerhouse, and Radio 4 regular, his every line and inflection is a polished diamond. We explore the grind necessary to achieve those results, discover the devilment beneath his political dalliances, and learn which TV comic pushed him to "adapt or die"... Hear extra material from this conversation with Simon, as well as from Dara O'Briain, James Acaster and more, PLUS a load of other interactive comedy projects giving you more tailored direct advice on creating work. Don't miss out, download the private "Insiders Club" podcast at www.comedianscomedian.com/insidersSee Simon's "Genius 2.0" at Edinburgh@TheSimonEvans @comcompodSee Stuart live on tour - www.stuartgoldsmith.com/comedy Hosted on Acast.

Anuvab Pal is one of a new generation, exploding out of India's relatively recent "comedy Big Bang". This disarming, witty act reveals how hard he finds it to embrace the Western "free thought" approach to learning, and waxes lyrical on the difference between art and "retail entertainment", as well as giving us the low-down on who to watch out for in Indian comedy... Hear extra material from this conversation with Anuvab, as well as extras from Russell Howard, James Acaster and more, PLUS a load of other interactive comedy projects giving you more tailored direct advice on creating work. Don't miss out, download the private "Insiders" podcast at www.comedianscomedian.com/insiders@AnuvabPal@ComComPod See Stuart live on tour - www.stuartgoldsmith.com/comedy Hosted on Acast.

Sophie is a hurricane of comedy in action. Possessed of a singular voice, she focuses her wit on genuinely important subject matter, including the cuts to social and mental health care services. We talk about obtaining government funding for her comedy tours, the "politics of politeness", and what happens after the conversation about class in comedy... Hear extra material from this conversation with Sophie, as well as extras from Russell Howard, James Acaster and more, plus a load of other interactive comedy projects...Support the show by becoming a member of the "Insiders Club" at www.comedianscomedian.com/insidersSee Sophie on tour nationally and at the Soho Theatre this June, details via www.sophiewillan.com@SophieWillanSee Stu on tour over the next two months, including a DVD record of the tour show on June 14th in Bristol: 30/05/2018 Aldershot, West End Centre01/06/2018 Sheffield, The Lescar02/06/2018 York, The Basement03/06/2018 Newcastle – The Stand04/06/2018 Leeds, Duke Studios08/06/2018 Southampton, Hanger Farm09/06/2018 Cambridge Junction12/06/2018 Edinburgh, The Monkey Barrel13/06/2018 Glasgow, The Stand14/06/2018 DVD RECORD IN BRISTOL 15/06/2018 Birmingham Glee17/06/2018 Brighton Komedia21-23 June London, Soho Theatre29/06/2018 Tringe Festival@ComComPod See Stuart live on tour - www.stuartgoldsmith.com/comedy Hosted on Acast.

Considering oneself "an artist who works in the field of comedy" is the starting point for a fascinating re-framing of the whole goddamn thing, in this conversation with the wonderfully funny, curious, and extraordinarily inventive Ben Target. We discover a shared inspiration in an Argentinian circus, explore Ben's holistic approach to theatre-in-the-round, and find out why minor authority figures are inherently funny... See Ben's Edinburgh Fringe show 'Splosh'@BenTargetDon't forget to support the show and join the members-only podcast stuffed with extra content and experimental projects And come and see Stu's standup tour now: 23/05/2018 Swindon Arts Centre26/05/2018 Farnham Maltings30/05/2018 Aldershot, West End Centre01/06/2018 Sheffield, The Lescar02/06/2018 York, The Basement03/06/2018 Newcastle – The Stand04/06/2018 Leeds, Duke Studios08/06/2018 Southampton, Hanger Farm09/06/2018 Cambridge Junction12/06/2018 Edinburgh, The Monkey Barrel13/06/2018 Glasgow, The Stand15/06/2018 Birmingham Glee17/06/2018 Brighton Komedia21-23 June London, Soho Theatre29/06/2018 Tringe Festival@comcompodSee Stuart live on tour - www.stuartgoldsmith.com/comedy Hosted on Acast.
