  • 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 🏆🏆🏆

  • Brilliant guests and concept but…

    …the host is too much and makes it a cringy listen at times.
