Love this show. Learning about the structure of comedy from an inside perspective and the divergences in conversation is fascinating. Looking at comedy and life from different points of view is something more people should do. Can’t wait to hear more!
Was stirring and emotional for me. Mark is a supple facilitator and allows the interviewee to speak freely. The comedians are immensely sensitive to the difficulties of living, whilst simultaneously seeing the redemptive pause which a comedy performance can deliver.
Lovely podcast balancing humour with insight. Mark and his guests dive into where comics got their start, how it still plays a part and all in all what gives Comedy its heart.
In a nutshell of course.
Love this podcast, it gives you a real insight into the inner workings of a creative person's mind, and just how comedians found their way into comedy. I often drive slower just so I can finish the episode.
