Ben Verth (@benverth) is the founder of Monkey Barrel comedy club. A purpose-built venue in the heart of Edinburgh, but above, he's a good friend of mine. In an interesting twist the normal format I invited him on to interview me. That's right, for one episode only we're going to have a little look back over the first 100 episodes in what I am going to call Comedy 101.  I got him to talk to me about (he wrote the questions, so this is just some highlights)... -What I’ve learned in the last 100 interviews. -What I’ve got out of the podcast (both good and bad). -The positive and negative points of making a podcast and building a community. -How has the podcast changed from my perspective and has impacted anything in my live career AND MORE Stream - http://simoncaine.co.uk/ATI/Comedy101 iTunes - https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/ask-the-industry-podcast/id946220937 YouTube - https://youtu.be/OVLHEKfrtT4 This interview would be good for anyone who wants to know what I’ve got out of doing this show for 3 years and how much work goes on behind the scenes.
