The Comedian's Comedian Podcast

Once again we’re back in the archives of ComComPod towers with Ben Bailey Smith aka Doc Brown, a prodigious talent, with clean-cut standup and roof-raising comedy rap, as well as a parallel career as an influential and respected rapper. We discuss:

the state of mind that led him to turn down a 220-date national tour
how his stage name became a millstone
and why he struggles to make a meal he wouldn't eat himself...

The Smartest Man In The World, Greg Proops, returns to the show 13 years and 468 episodes later to discuss his new album, Kidding. But STILL.

A stand-up comic and improvisor from San Francisco, Greg is best known for his appearances on Whose Line is it Anyway? but also as one of the two-headed pod racer commentators from The Phantom Menace! We discuss:

the process of riffing a whole album live like a jazz musician
Bill Hicks’ advice of "less jokes and more me"
we delve into all things Whose Line Is It Anyway?
is a comedy album legacy, or just proof of what you were thinking that year
how he can't agree with George Carlin's "watching humanity burn"
and we find out if he is happy…

Welcome back for another ComCompendoum, this time with Stevie Martin where we discuss:

the huge amount of time and prep that goes into her work
the internal battle to feel like a “proper comedian” in an industry that prioritises certain styles, backgrounds and looks.
her brilliant former sketch outfit Massive Dad and whether their aesthetic made them “unapproachable” as performers
the relative loneliness of stand-up
and trying to love Edinburgh in the way that it deserves to be loved

Some people have been in Edinburgh all month long... well, the cool kids are now finally in town! Starting today, I'll be at Monkey Barrel Comedy's Cabaret Voltaire everyday at 2.25pm until 30th August.

Although it's about the climate, this show isn't bleak! I tackle our hypocrisy, the barefaced lies of big oil companies, and the things we tell ourselves to cope with it all.

It's consistently hilarious (as evidenced below*, don't just take my word for it), and will leave you motivated and full of fierce joy!

*The TImes: "The funny side of climate change… No, really!"
