I've worked with James before and had seen many Beasts shows but this was the first time we'd properly sat down and chatted which was lovely. Enjoy!
We've hit 60 (Episode, not Birthday)! Our special guest to mark this remarkable occasion is JAMES MCNICHOLAS!
Alex spoke to James about Horrible Histories, sketch personas, and finally getting to show off his range via song lyrics. Listen and never hear Hanson's MMMBop in the same way again. (1/2)

Lee is an absolute king when it comes to sketch comedy - in writing, performing, teaching and championing it. He was one of the first people I met in sketch comedy, he's the loveliest man and he taught me one of the most valuable comedy writing exercises of my life. What was it? Listen and find out!
As we continue through the Archives, we reach Episode 28 and our conversation with Lee Griffiths. Here, we talk about his naked Miley Cyrus 'Wrecking Ball' parody in Late Night Gimp Fight and how he's now paying the price for it... (1/2)

Lovely getting to know Kath! Plus, if you enjoy two gingers chatting about their love for 'The Simpsons', I've got some good news for you. Big thanks to @lucyfarrett.bsky.social for connecting us!

I first met Georgia when I was a runner on her BBC Four sitcom 'Quick Cuts' back in 2013. Amazingly, we've kept in touch all these years. I was so thrilled when she agreed to be a guest on this. Another ep I implore you to listen to if you have any interest in comedy writing. You'll learn a lot!
Another corker from the Archives, it's Episode 27 - our conversation with Georgia Pritchett. In this clip, Georgia discusses her 'terrifying' first day writing on 'The Thick Of It'.
Georgia's excellent book 'My Mess Is A Bit Of A Life' is still available from all good bookshops. (1/2)
