  • A Gem of a podcast

    Rufus and Howard bring magic and boundless energy to prose of all forms.

    Their rapport is finely honed over many years of stage and screen performance.

    A relaxed, inclusive audio environment with callbacks to their work that will have you searching through their back catalogue for lightbulb moments that flash from all their stories.

    I’d recommend this to anyone who is looking to laugh!

  • Rufus and Howard are undiscovered UK talent. Some may say this is an accident, others may say 'The Man' just won't allow their insightful vision of reality.

    Some might, of course, say they're just shite but those people are twats so who cares what they say.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Worst Writer - Untitled Sitcom about a Time-Travelling Detective (with Joz Norris), Part 1
Q: Why the name Damien Rice for the main character, and what did you hope the audience would get from that gag?
I chose Damien Rice as a celebrity reference to anchor the character, hoping players would project back to that era; the joke is about recognizing or misrecognizing a real person from the time period, which serves the meta humor.
Worst Writer - Untitled Sitcom about a Time-Travelling Detective (with Joz Norris), Part 1
Q: Firstly, what is this script about and when did you write it?
It's a time-travel noir spoof about a private detective, written in 2016 when I was 27, and it's intentionally brazenly self-indulgent, with a lot of meta and stage directions.
