Needs Work #6 - Pirate Juice ☠️ - with Myq Kaplan 10.07.2024 59:55

I was incredibly honoured to have the amazing and already famous Myq Kaplan drop in on my pod! He has so many amazing insights for new comics on how he “made it” I’m going to feature them all in an upcoming post! He’s also a super sweet human being, and kind of zen. We had fun! Myq is an incredibly prolific comedian & has been on all the major late night shows. He is a “man obsessed with words”, a...

Needs Work #5 - The W**k Room - with Theo Mason-Wood 24.06.2024 34:46

This week’s guest is the very funny and extremely silly Theo Mason-Wood! He’s the winner of the Berlin New Stand Up Award 2023 and has supported Reggie Watts.

We have a really great chat, and deep dive 3 times into his newest material inspired by a recent b...

If you have a bit of material of yours that isn’t working as well as you hoped & you’d like to be on my podcas...

(Needs Work #3) Crying because the sky is too blue with Suchandrika Chakrabarti 06.05.2024 48:15

Welcome to episode 3 of “Needs Work”. The idea behind this podcast is that I interview your peers (up and coming stand-ups) and we analyse a bit of theirs that isn’t working as well as they hoped. Together we try and analyse it and help them improve it. The idea is that you can learn a lot more from your peers rather than say someone who is rich and famous and hasn’t done an open mic in 20 years (...
