I met Alexis only once about ten years ago in Brighton so it was a real pleasure to catch up and properly shoot the shit with him after so long. And now you too can enjoy our chinwag!
Salut! Episode 61 has arrived, consisting of special guest @alexisdubus.bsky.social (aka Marcel Lucont). Alex spoke to Alexis about Whine Lists, 1-star reviews, and the work of Ubersausage! Who remembers Edinburgh Fringe's Page of Shame? Bonne écoute! (1/2)

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)

I wish more people knew about this extraordinary hip hop album. It has become for me the definitive album for Bonfire Night. I listen to it every year. Still a work of incredible art and the last 2 minutes always sends little shivers up my spine. Everybody stay ON. jonclark.bandcamp.com/album/on

Halloween week! Here is what I chose for my spooky viewing (as well as a repeat screening of both The Wicker Man and The Fog). Coincidentally, all of these were to do with being kept in horrific houses. I didn't plan that. It was the demons.

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)

You can hear me waffle on about Garth Marenghi on this Halloween special of YHBW. Great fun as always! Dim the lights or switch them off if you don't have dimmers... And enjoy. Well, I SAY enjoy...

Very sad to hear that we've lost the superb Prunella Scales. A comedic gem! My family would always quote Sybil's "BASIL!" or "Ohh I knooow." I really hope wherever she is that she is reunited with Timothy West. Their love was always so beautiful. R.I.P. 😢

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)

Despite the weather, we had a bloody lovely time last night. Massive thanks Brighton Horrorfest for having us back and to you wonderful people who traipsed out in the rain to watch it! 💜
What a phan-tastic Brighton show we had as we ran it back-to-back with The Devil's Mullet and Speak Up.
My thanks to House of Fear players @theydyamelia.bsky.social and Rob Tofield, all at Brighton Horrorfest (10 diabolical years? You look 70) and Gabriel, our gruesome tech.
