Never Mind The Baldness, Here’s Paddy and Lou

Comedy EN ↓ 9 episodes

Welcome to the 'Never Mind The Baldness, Here's Paddy and Lou' podcast! Hosted by North Mancunians Paddy Nicholls (Film & Theatre Writer-Director/Community Organiser) and Lou Beckett (Multi-disciplinary Artist/Owner of Annie’s Tearoom). To sum up: It's two knobs, talking b*ll*cks. After their initial podcast 'Have I Got News For Lou' where the two bickered like w*nky kids, the new ideas began to be dreamt up and now *DRUM ROLL* from the ashes of ‘Have I Got News For Lou’ rises ‘Never Mind The Baldness’: a random selection of bizarre features conjured up by the two to help stave off the boredom...

"Roll over, Mr. Pancake!" (SERIES 1, EPISODE 5) 24.12.2025

Here we go…the very long overdue Episode 5 of Series 1! The lads discuss one of the most bizarre arrest videos out there on YouTube (shoutout to the amazing EWU Bodycam YouTube Channel), Lou’s trip to Lytham, and Lou’s burgeoning cult ‘Beckettology’ takes on a new life as we break down the potential tricks he could use to draw-in the masses in ‘The Gospel According To Lou’. Also, Sinead O’Connor i...

A Lesson in 'Louis Love' (SERIES 1, EPISODE 4: PART 2) 29.10.2025

Series 1, Episode 4, Part 2 This one gets ridiculous quite quickly… After inducting Kojak into the 'Bald of Fame' in Part 1, ‘The Gospel According to Lou’ really ramps up a gear with the lads discussing other tyrants and cult leaders who could inspire Beckettology (with a few of North Manchester’s finest elaborating on the genius of the man) and the ‘When In Rome’ trip to Tiraspol (Transnistria/Mo...

“KOJAK WOULD BEAT THE SH*T OUT OF COLUMBO!” (Part 1) 20.10.2025

Another 2-parter (aren’t you so freakin’ lucky?!!), this being Series 1 - Episode 4, Part 1. We witness the opening of ‘The Bald of Fame’ with Lou inducting our first shiny-headed hero, Lou disappoints Paddy with a questionable ‘Guantanamo Bay Beats’ selection and they discuss bizarre musician Tiny Tim’s role in a deadly fire in Australia… As ever, email your ‘Hate The Show’ messages to nevermindt...

BONUS EPISODE: "Two Lovely Plums" 13.10.2025

Feeling guilty about Paddy being ill (and unable to record the last full episode) and both being on Holiday after, the two decided to record another short bonus episode a few days ago to keep you from shedding too many tears. They talk about the "joys" of getting older and put their money where their mouth is by actually drinking (in real life) one of the Serbian spirits, from their infamous Belgr...

"AND ON THE FIRST DAY, LOU CREATED...." (Part 2) 25.09.2025

Part 2 of the episode ‘And On The First Day, Lou Created…’ finishes off where the 2 left off in discussing the beginning of Lou’s religion/cult (inconclusively called either ‘Beckettism’ or ‘Beckettology'). The ‘When In Rome’ trip to Addis Ababa throws up some highly ill-educated discussion about Ethiopian culture, as well as a few choice encounters with some shady characters on the night of the t...

"AND ON THE FIRST DAY, LOU CREATED...." (Part 1) 16.09.2025

Part 1 of this special double-episode sees the lads discussing the joys of getting unknowingly caught in the midst of Chinese patriotism, ‘Guantanamo Bay Beats’ throws up some genuinely poignant conversations, before they test the boundaries of tastelessness in their new feature: ‘The Gospel According To Lou’. As ever, email your ‘Hate The Show’ messages to nevermindthebaldness@gmail.com. PART 2 O...

"We Don't Talk About It": Bother In Belgrade 02.09.2025

The lads catch-up from the previous week about another unfortunate interaction in the Pub, the new ‘Hate the Show’ feature kicks off with an almighty bang and a trip to Belgrade throws up some surprising events in ‘When In Rome’. Email your ‘Hate The Show’ messages to nevermindthebaldness@gmail.com. NEXT FULL EPISODE: Tuesday 16th September 2025. S1, E2  - ‘GUANTANAMO BAY BEATS’ SPOTIFY EPISODE PL...

BONUS SHORT EPISODE: We Introduce Ourselves (AGAIN...Because We Did A Sh*t Job Explaining Who We Are Last Week) 26.08.2025

Paddy and Lou introduce themselves (only slightly) better than they did at the beginning of last week's first show, as well as explaining a few parts of the podcast like the new 'Hate the Show' feature. Each episode will launch every fortnight on Tuesday evenings and the features on the show will be subject to a Poll on Social Media, which will then be voted on by YOU each week to see what they en...

The Boys Are Back In (Guantanamo) Town 19.08.2025

The lads reintroduce themselves to the World after the issues with the 'Have I Got News For Lou' podcast with a brand new one and give the new format a go, despite Lou’s reservations about how well the features Paddy has come up with actually work. Expect stories about flashers outside of the Pub, Saddam Hussein and a less than successful trip to Tokyo… FEATURES: ‘Guantanamo Bay Beats’ (Link to Sp...
