The Comedian's Tea Party with Si Deaves

Good day and welcome back, tea lovers. This episode I bring Maff Brown to your ears, from Mock The Week and his own stages of Outside The Box comedy clubs. It's a real cracker talking about comedy and the business in general, as well as people we've witnessed losing their minds during lockdown and how that's affecting careers. I also do an impression, which is entirely visual and absolutely wasted...

Welcome tea fans, This week I bring to your ears Paul Savage, comedian and cartoonist. We talk about living on a boat, benign violation, the best way to deliver a serious show, meerkats and books for women. I also get a brand new Teamergency question out of the episode. Don't forget that if you want to support the podcasy and help keep it running and (since someone's agent asked if I could pay the...

Hello tea drinkers and comedy lovers alike, Welcome back to the podcast for the first episode of 2021, listen in to see where I've been. Jon Long is my guest this week and we are having a lovely chat, indeed. Jon is one of the first people I ever met in comedy and it's been lovely to watch his journey to see him become the comedian he is today, so he's well worth your time to go and check him out....

Good teavening (I'm not apologising for that) Welcome to episode 34, thanks for joining us. No, it's not 3 of us, it's myself and Alexis Dubus, who many people may know as his character, Marcel Lucont. We have a lovely, funny and silly chat covering all sorts, including a brand new teamergency question, tardigrades and being in Red Dwarf with Kevin Eldon. You're going to love it. If you're in a po...

Good afternoon, my lovers. I hope this podcast finds you well. This week I had Fiona Ridgewell "in" for a chat. She tells me about her time in the ring and its similarities to stand-up, including paying her school bully to get people to punch her in the face. We also talk about working during the lockdown and her want for a garden in case of another one. If you'd like to support the podcast, click...

Greeting Teatings(? I don't know, it's been a long week) Welcome to the 32nd episode with Ignacio Lopez. It's an absolute laugh with some really great stories and generally a lovely way to meet someone for the first time. He's got plenty going on online, including online gigs that he's hosting and I'm sure even more that he's doing, so head over to his social media to see what he's doing and also...

Good morrow, merry Teavians. Welcome to this episode with Matthew Crosby, it's a ruddy good one. I have some (loads of them) technical difficulties, which I do get ironed out in the end, but my word, I felt sick for a moment. Anyway, it all worked out as Matthew was very generous with his time and we got on famously and, I suspect could have talked all day given the opportunity. I'll put it here b...

Good day, my lovely tea leaves. I'm absolutely delighted to bring you this chat with Luke Branch of Asylums and Cool Thing Records. It's loads of fun, has loads of insight and loads of nonsense. You'll love it. Come and find out what Luke wears in the summer and what he dips in his tea. It's bizarre. Also find out which part of him he'd most like to evaporate first. If you hear any weird noises in...

Hello my little tea cups. I hope you've all been well during my unanticipated hiatus. I've had surgeries and writing work and all sorts, but I'm back and I bring to you Josh James. It's both a very fun and lovely chat, we talk about Essex, families and his handsome friend. It's nice to be back and nice to have exciting guests to announce, which you'll have to listen to the end for. Catch Josh onli...

Hello my loves, Thanks for joining me on my chat with the very lovely and very funny Nathan Caton. It's classic Tea Party content, a great chat, some good insight into Nathan's life, comedy and preferences on tea. We get to learn about which Ninja Turtle we'd like to date our daughters, what jumped over the moon, what happens when his agent fails him and much more. Don't forget to search for his p...

Hello, my lovely tea lights. I hope you're all well. I've been slow bringing this one out because I've had to take on a temp job so that I'm allowed to keep living in my house, but we're here now and the wait was worth it, because what an episode! Rich Wilson is an absolute power house of comedy and one of the nicest guys in the industry. We have a really fun chat where we discuss all sorts from m...

Hello hot drinks fans, What an absolute pleasure it is to bring you this episode with Joz Norris. A truly lovely and very funny man. We talk about oast houses, the garden of England, Red Hot Reckless Rod, bike riding in London, going to school with the offspring of tea magnates and Bugsy Malone. As well as finding out his opinions on farts. It's not one to be missed. Speaking of Joz being funny, h...

Hello my little tea bags, How the devil are you? Well, I hope. I have for your delectation a very fun episode, indeed, with the lovely Brennan Reece, who you may have seen in such shows/films as Live At The Apollo, The Stand Up Sketch Show Roast Battle, Three In A Bed, SoulBoy, but who you will never see in The Vessel. Brennan teaches me about Penguin straws and introduced me to almost his entire...

Greetings tea... people? Teaple? In episode 24 I talk to El Baldiniho (Jason Mannion), possibly my first guest to have had Coronavirus, who you can see in action by clicking  here. We discuss writing, prison tea, Darjeeling. I learn what a "tea belly" is and have no idea how Jason is still alive with the amount of tea he drinks. Go and check out his daughter's content by clicking here. Also have a...

Greetings all, In this episode I talk to stand-up, actor and as I also learnt, improviser, Rosie Holt. It's a truly amusing episode and we laugh a lot. We discuss writing, performing and dating while in lockdown and how Rosie's not doing much of any of those. We also talk about Rosie's favourite sexist tea, which leads to some hilarious, but questionable conversation. Rosie also talks about politi...

Good day to you, my tealights(? ... Does that work? Tea leaves? I'll work on it) I hope you're all well. Thanks for downloading and listening and checking out the podcast. It's a lovely little chat with my pal, Mark Simmons, today. A very funny man who you may have seen on the likes of Mock The Week. We discuss all sorts from writing in lockdown, to going on a date in Ireland, Mark's new sitcom av...

Good day, you beautiful creatures. I hope you're all doing well in the strangest of times. I had a panic attack this morning that stopped me from going for a run, so that's where I'm at... But no, I'm otherwise doing very well and I'm sure that would have happened regardless. This episode is one of my favourites of all time. I'm a huge fan of Jamie and his work and it was such a pleasure to get to...

Hello locked-down tea lovers. I hope you're all very well and having a lovely day. Hopefully those of you still working aren't too busy and those of you who aren't are having the best time you could be, given the restrictions. This is a properly lovely episode this week, quintessential Tea Party. I drink an 'Up Beet' tea from Teapigs and Damo has a Rooibos tea from East India Company. We talk abou...

Hello there, locked down tea drinkers! I hope you're all coping as well as you can be and enjoying the company of those who you're locked up with. Or if you're on your own, I hope you've got a PlayStation! This is the first of what I imagine may be quite a few episodes recorded during the Coronavirus lockdown of 2020, so we're talking via Skype, so the quality isn't of my usual standard, but I thi...

Greetings my lovely listeners, What a wild time in the world we are meeting. I hope you're all well, along with your loved ones. These are trying times and anxiety is high, so look after yourselves and each other. I hope you have some toilet paper and potatoes. A strange start to a blurb, but it's a strange time. Welcome to episode 18 with my friend and taxidermy & curiosities dealer and occasiona...

Good day my lovelies, thanks for making it back here. This one was a really great chat and I had loads of fun, Matt's stories were fascinating and we had a good laugh. I also left in one "bad" swear word because it is particularly worth it. Consider yourselves warned. We drank some lovely tea that Matt brought back from his trip from Russia, the reason behind his being in Russia is just one of man...

Welcome back tea and/or comedy fans... Somebody suggested that people that listen to my work should be called Deavers, you know, like divas... I think I like it, but if anybody can think of a better name. let me know. This week I present to you Kieran Boyd. We talk tea, nasty metal, sweat, inside-out sick and lots more, including my utter catastrophe of a day (although it did work out very well ev...

Hello my children, Welcome to Episode 15 with Daniel Triscott. We had a chat while I was down in Cornwall for the evening for a show. We have a very, very loosely educated chat about gunpowder, discuss unplayable gigs, Edinburgh Fringe and more. We also drink tea supplied to me by The Clean Tea Company who you can find if you click that link there, or on Instagram . It's lovely so go and check the...

Hello, my tea drinking loves. I'm sorry I've been away for so long, but I promise it's for good reason. I hope you all understand, but thank you for returning to bring some tea to your ears! Speaking of, I've just this second realised that I never even mentioned what tea I was drinking. WELL, I was drinking Twinings 'Glow' from their Superblends range through the night. It was glorious and really...

Hello my lovely tea drinkers, Welcome back after my house-moving-hiatus. It's been a wild few weeks, but I'm finally in my house and getting myself level again, so I should start getting a bit more regular with some podcast records and releases. But either way, for now, thanks for listening. This week we have the inimitable Ali James, improviser, actor and incredible Cilla Black impersonator (not...
