Loved this. An interesting take on a comedy podcast, will listen to more...
What a great listen. Nathan interviews without making it about himself. Highly recommended
Anyone pursuing creative work will relate to this podcast. An honest and funny look at life in comedy.
Entertaining and thoughtful - always a gentle but fascinating glimpse into the lives and minds of interesting people.
Inspiring, funny and moving! An absolutely terrific show
This is a brilliant podcast for any comedy enthusiast and such an original idea. Nathan has a lovely way with his guests and asks all the right questions to make this an entertaining yet revealing journey through the mind of some great comedians! Definitely give this a listen! You won’t be disappointed!
Nathan is a fantastic interviewer who is able to go very deep with his subjects, revealing all kinds of fascinating details about their lives and careers. It’s so interesting to hear about how their life experiences have impacted and shaped their comedy. Plus, the converstaions are hilarious!!
This is definitely the hot topic we comedy fans have been keen to explore esp. for the last few years and I am so glad to find this series. A strong line-up and I am excited to listen more!
I love this podcast. It’s so interesting to hear the stories behind the stage personas and to find out how and why people get into comedy.
Insightful and funny and a good mix of comedians on the couch. An original idea, brilliantly executed.
Fascinating to hear how these very brave people who choose to stand in front of audiences every week can be equally as vulnerable. Hilarious and moving accounts. Nathan is a fantastic host.
I don’t know who said to this man that he should be a comedian. Not at all funny, not interesting. I don’t know why these comics are even agreeing to do this
I love this podcast and in particular Nathan’s way of bringing great anecdotes out of his guests. More please!
Hilarious poignant and thoroughly inspirational.
funny and insightful!
