 Comedy Podcast | The Comedy Cast with American Comedian Maria Shehata | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 34:08

Hello and welcome back to The Comedy Cast; today you’ll be hearing from American stand-up comedian Maria Shehata. We kick off the interview by speaking about Maria’s ongoing Edinburgh Show, Wisdomless a show about why she left LA for London after falling in love. She talks about what she both loves and hates about London and the differences she’s noticed having living in both New York and LA before. We get talking about living in cities in general, how I don’t particularly like it and find it hard to sleep among noise, while Maria finds no problem at all and while talking about it, she tells me I probably have misophonia, a strong reaction to specific sounds. We speak about Maria’s ancestry and how ancestry.com got her name 100% wrong. We get talking then again about the Edinburgh Fringe and how this is her first time doing an hour there, we talk about what she knew about the Fringe when living in America and what American comedians think of it. We speak about the challenge of putting on a solo-one hour show and the differences between having polished 10,15-minutes of different clubs sets and why she wanted wrote something completely new for her first Fringe Show. We speak about the differences between British and American audiences and if there’s any truth to there being any difference between them at all. We talk about whether her delivery or style of comedy has changed at all since leaving America for the UK. In a previous interview Maria had said that a friend noticed she kind of lived her life somewhat detached from herself, I thought that was really interesting and to be honest, really helpful when it comes to a life in comedy so we delve into the subject for a bit. We speak then about a web series Maria was part of the America, called My Super Overactive Imagination with Cat Reinhart. Finally then we talk too about Maria’s upcoming comedy album that she’s recording soon.

 Comedy Podcast | The Comedy Cast with Australian Comedian John Robertson | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:01:31

Hello and welcome back to The Comedy Cast; today you’ll be hearing from Australian stand-up comedian John Robertson. John was a host of the videogame TV show a few years ago, Videogame Nation, I loved that show so we got straight onto that, how he got involved and what he liked and disliked about working for a Saturday-morning TV programme. John tells me how to this day people still recognise him from it in the UK and do his catchphrase from the show and he tells a hilarious story about being recognised after coming out of a Parisian Burlesque/strip show. There’s an infamous video of John Robertson that went viral about a year ago of when he goes to town on a Heckler, I’ve linked it here so you can have a look, it’s pretty much a work of art, so we spoke about what happened on that faithful night. We speak about John’s Edinburgh Fringe show, Dominant, when and where it’s on an all about it. John won a Choice Award for his Edinburgh Fringe show last year, so I wanted to ask him about that and did he feel any pressure while putting together this year’s show to top last year’s. John talks about how over the years he’s learned to not write his shows, instead coming up with an ending and improvising a full show to get to the end. It’s an amazing talent and I delve into it a bit more with him. We chat about how John learned to read rooms, how he learned how to recognise how far he can push material with different audiences. We talk about kids these days not knowing who the Venga Boys are.

 Comedy Podcast | The Comedy Cast with English Comedian Andy Storey | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:06:08

Hello and welcome back to The Comedy Cast; today you’ll be hearing from English stand-up comedian Andy Storey. We get straight in the Edinburgh Fringe stuff and speak about the show he’s putting on with Maddie Campion, Epoch. Andy’s the first ‘clean comedian’ we’ve had on so I was really interested to get to ask him some questions about clean comedy and how he sees it as being more difficult to be both funny and clean and how he enjoys the challenge of it. We chat about how recently he was compared to Vic Reeves and Alan Bennett and how comparisons like that make him feel. We speak about what he’s learned over the years from putting on shows at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. We talk then about the kinds of existential questions that come to comedians when they’re performing; do the audience care; why am I bearing my life and soul to people I don’t know who I’ll never see again, deep things like that. We chat then for a minute about the the depths of the subconscious and how you can’t even trust your own mind as it’s always playing tricks. And it’s always good to keep grounded by reminding yourself that everything is meaningless really. We talk about why he loves gigging so much, doing 5-nights-a-week as much as he can, honing his material at Open Mic nights and New Material nights around London. We speak about that god-awful phrase ‘the comedy voice’ and how Andy has learned over the years to be more like himself on stage. He sees less of a difference between who he is on stage and who he is in real life. We talk for a bit then about how Andy likes to challenge himself by constantly testing out new material, knowing that he cannot rely on trusted material he has to push his stage presence, his charisma and get his new ideas across well to the audience to get them laughing. We natter too about the importance of language in joke, how particular words at particular times can completely change how an audience laughs, he speak about using the phrase ‘hipster hairdressers’ instead of ‘hair salon’ and how the reaction of the audience was totally different. We speak about why some people need a push to get into things and how it took him so long to get into comedy even though he’d always wanted to do it.

 Comedy Podcast | The Comedy Cast with Irish Comedian Rory O’Hanlon | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 47:24

Hello and welcome back to The Comedy Cast; today you’ll be hearing from Irish stand-up comedian Rory O’Hanlon. We start off asking about how the previews have been going in the run up to his show at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival. We get talking about the whole idea behind having to have a theme for shows at the Fringe and why comedians do this and why some of them use the term very loosely. We speak about Rory’s Edinburgh Show “Getting Serious“, how he’s been preparing for it and what’s the show’s going to be about. We get a bit nerdy then on Edinburgh and speak about what he’s learned over the year from performing there.

We talk then about the other show he’s running with former Comedy Cast guest Danny O’Brien about a variety show they’re putting on every day. We speak about why Rory’s laptop is set to Spanish instead of English. We get talking then about why if you want to ‘make it’ in Ireland you have to make it in England first, mostly because the Irish love to claim someone once they become well known. We speak about the differences between Irish and British crowds and how there’s very little really, the biggest differences are when you go out into the sticks away from the cities. We chat about sleepy English seaside towns and how they’re like something from old Scooby-Doo cartoons.

We chat then about how Turner had always wanted to be a comedian and about why he was so eager to set up a comedy club when the chance presented itself.  We get onto the difficulties of running an English-language comedy club in a foreign country, but he also speaks of the doors it opened for him and about flying over English-speaking comedians to perform in China. We also talk about the challenge of keeping sets interesting for audiences when you gig in front of the same people regularly and how it and of itself it has many advantages and disadvantages. We talk then about how since returning to America he has found that being able top concentrate on strengthening his act and really honing a set has improved since coming home. We go full comedy nerd then and speak about the different levels of comedy writing and how the first level is speaking about yourself and not you’re feelings about things and who some people can get trapping into never getting out of that first level of writing.

Hello and welcome back to The Comedy Cast; today you’ll be hearing from Irish stand-up comedian, Ger Staunton.

I ask him about the nature of preview shows and about how much a set will change from the previews to the actual Edinburgh set.

We speak about Ger’s podcast with former Comedy Cast guest Martin Angolo, Canary in a Comedy Goldmine, where Martin tests out new material on Ger. It’s a brilliant podcast and I urge you all to subscribe, the lads are hilarious together. I tell Ger that I get the impression for other comedians in Dublin that he’s somewhat looked up to, but he reveals it’s not because of his talent as a comedian… We speak about Ger’s job of being a video editor for live sporting events and some short films he’d made in the past in particular Bealtaine, a short about an old neighbour who brought back a dying tradition to Mayo. We talk then about how and why Ger got into comedy.

We speak about the comedy scene in Dublin, the advantages and disadvantages to gigging to a lot of tourists and people who don’t regularly attend comedy and how as new comics you have to be willing to work hard and do the small gigs before getting the bigger ones.

Hello and welcome back to The Comedy Cast; today you’ll be hearing from American stand-up comedian, Ryan Bourassa. We kick off the interview and we get straight into comedy. The comedy scene in Las Vegas has always been a strange one, so I asked Ryan for his opinion on it. I ask Ryan about the inspiration behind one of my favourites jokes of his, involving Ikea and a baby and how parts of the internet turned on him for it. We speak about skirting the line between what is offensive and what’s funny and how comedians have to always be aware of it and aware that’s it changes from comedy club to comedy club and from different areas and on top of that with the politicial landscape changing almost daily too. Ryan also talks about how the same joke can get a completely different reaction from different crowds even on the same night. We speak about Ryan’s really outstanding podcast Mental Chillness, a solo podcast where he speaks candidly about his battle with Borderline Personality Disorder. We talk then about the illness and how Ryan has dealt with it since he was diagnosed. He speaks about why he started his podcast and how, for a change, the internet has welcomed it with open arms. We speak about how I came across Ryan many, many years ago on Twitter and we get speaking then about atheism and why religion is the worst of all the mental illnesses. We speak about Ryan’s love for the darker elements of comedy and alternative comedy, he also talks about how he talks enjoyment out of being cynical, sarcastic and pissing on the parade. But he says too that this all comes from honesty and that being honest onstage allows people to identify with him more. Ryan speaks passionately then about staying true to yourself in comedy and how not selling out and keeping artistic integrity is so important.

Regular listeners will know that the Jesters name pops up a lot when we have guests based in Dublin on the show and it was the reason I wanted to speak to Chris. We get into comedy promotion here and how he runs the nights and why he decided that instead of just hosting regular open mic and guest nights he wanted to challenge the comedians gigging in Dublin with themed nights and challenges. We speak about the different themed-nights, Jesters Raw,  Jesters Weird, Jesters Surprise and Jesters Politics, that he runs and why he decided on them.

 Comedy Podcast | The Comedy Cast with English Comedian Tiernan Douieb | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 50:04

Hello and welcome back to The Comedy Cast; today you’ll be hearing from English stand-up comedian and satirist, Tiernan Douieb. We kick off the interview with me telling Tiernan about how I sacrificed a Pavlova date to be with him and then we get into where he gets his awesome name from. Usually with the podcasts I tend to wait until towards the end before speaking about guests’ podcasts, but with Tiernan I wanted to get straight into it. Tiernan has a really mighty podcast every week called Partly Political Broadcast. If you have any interested in British politics at all you should subscribe to it because it’s pure mighty. He mixes satire, gags and serious topics absolutely brilliantly so it was really mighty to speak to him about the podcast. Of course, because the podcast is politically motivated we delved into British politics. We bitch about Theresa May and the Conservatives, Brexit, and the upcoming Scottish dilemma. The lies on a ‘massive effing bus’ gets a mention as well and Tiernan reveals exactly why he started his podcast and how it helps him to make sense of what’s happening in UK politics at the minute. We talk about why voter apathy is large among young people and some of the solutions to it. Tiernan brings up Rexit, it involves robots! We chat about Tiernan’s first gig, how he was so excited that he couldn’t sleep even after it, he also tells me one of the jokes he did that night. We speak about him doing a comedy course and how when doing it he knew that comedy was what he wanted to do in his life. We also discuss the thin line between exaggeration and bullshit and how the best comedians thread that line.
