This podcast brilliantly unravels the creative process of comedy through engaging interviews with renowned comedians. A must-listen for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of comedy plus the creativity processes that underpin it. I’m sure I can apply many of these techniques to help me think in new and better ways. Oh and it’s quite funny as well!
Apple Podcasts5First best manUnited Kingdom2 years ago - Great companion
A great companion to time in the garden or working round the house. The format and Tim’s easy style allowed the guest to open up and left me feeling I knew the guest at the end of the hour. I think the format and Tim would work well for other creatives, not just comedians
Apple Podcasts5The BollymanUnited Kingdom2 years ago - Hilariously cathartic
This is a joy. It’s therapy. Laughter out loud is definitely therapy. Tim has a soothing voice and is obviously well respected in the comedy business.
