“Love this podcast so much. Always a treat listening to Tim and James talking comedy. It’s like being in the pub with your mates. Brilliant guests and a wonderful format, and lots of interesting chat (particularly if you’re a comedy nerd!).
If you’re a proper comedy fan, keep a note handy, and...”Read full review »

“I listen to a lot of comedy podcasts but this one easily stands out as something special. James is a great host, not so much interviewing guests as speaking honestly with his industry friends (some of the biggest names in comedy) about their lives and careers. It’s funny, often moving and always...”Read full review »

“Listened to the Joe Wilkinson episode as a one-off but then ended up listening to every episode afterwards within a week. Top tier guests, great format, lovely host, great for comedy nerds like me.”

“I await this pod like it has medicinal purposes…and effectively it does. In tough times ABC is a beacon of light, and there’s no better tonic than a belly laugh. I absolutely love what James & comedy husband Tim have done here with this pod and at the Tommyfield!
Feel so lucky to be alive at...”Read full review »

“The concept of the podcast is great but having nearly 15 minutes of needless waffle at the start unnecessary. 3-5 minutes to say how much you love the guest/their work and a quick anecdote is plenty, tighten it up!”

“First heard about this podcast with James’ appearances on the My New Football Club podcast. I love standup comedy so this is a great format to hear about some of the inside knowledge of the comedy world. So many laughs and James is such a natural host!
It has me trying to find a way to get to...”Read full review »

“It’s a great format, a lazy way to describe it would be Off Menu but for a stand up comedy night and selecting comedians.
James errs on the side of sycophant at times especially with people that get spoken about (nobody ever speaks ill of any other comedian that gets mentioned, which is fine I...”Read full review »

“I give this show three stars:-
1 for the format

1 for the interesting insight to the guests
-1 for the over the top fake laugh of the host

“This is a great idea and I was really looking forward to it. I’ve listened to the first few hoping that the chap hosting would relax and tone down the cringeworthy introductions and interactions. I think he’s described everyone so far as his best friend and greatest comedian ‘of all time’. I get...”Read full review »

“I arrived at this podcast off the back of James appearing on My New Football Club and simply thinking “oh this sounds fun”.
It’s so much more than the blurb suggests. It’s kind, light hearted and insightful, taking you behind the stage persona of some wonderful people.”

“Regulars at ABC in Kennington will know what a great MC James is and Tim is a techno wiz.
The comedians range from the up and coming to arena fillers and top comedians turn up as surprise guests.
The thing that makes James such a great MC is his ability to engage a crowd and make the audience...”Read full review »

“This is an excellent podcast from one of London’s best kept comedy secrets - the Always Be Comedy venues at Wandsworth and Kennington. The hosts chat easily with some very well known comedians, not surpassingly as they’ve known them for years, making for a very good listen.”
