  • Love this podcast!

    I love this podcasts love the hosts. And really like the peek behind the curtain of the comedy world. Especially like the comedy hero’s episodes. Only 4 stars because I think it could be shorter. I love the concept and sometimes it’s nearly an hour before we get to that bit. More ruthless editing maybe. Hoping to come to the Tommyfield soon. Thanks for the laughs. 😊

  • ABC - 5 * podcasting

    Been working my way through the back catalogue chronologically & almost up to date. Huge stand up fan (Stewart Lee is my all time comedy hero) so adore the format & the glimpses behind the curtain it provides for fans. Extensive knowledge and experience of the hosts provides enthusiasm for the subject matter and the guests. My goal - a pilgrimage to The Tommyfield to see a live ABC show! Keep on keeping on James & Tim 🏆🏆🏆

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#141 Ray Badran
Q: What was your normal day like before doing the 24-hour podcast?
Just stressed about it. I had a lot to prepare and wasn't really able to think about anything else.
#140 Mark Steel
Q: What is the key to your longevity in comedy?
It's partly luck, ego, drive, and the awareness that the audience's tastes change.
*Bonus* Should the Oscars recognise comedy more?
Q: Do you think there should be Oscars for comedy performances?
Yes, because many incredible performances in comedy go unnoticed.
#136 Ben Elton

I don't have any rituals. But what I do like to do is walk to a gig, and I always try and get a hotel that's near enough for me to walk there.
#137 John Tothill
Q: What can you tell us about your gigged dream lineup?
John curates his ideal gig, emphasizing the characters he prefers as MCs and comedians he admires, including Colin Hoult, Kate Berlant, and Flo and Joan.
