Big fan of this podcast. A valuable listen for anyone interested in the comedy industry. Simon is a great interviewer who clearly puts a lot of work in and does a lot of research on each guest

For comedians and proper live comedy fans. This superior podcast gets in to the weeds. If live comedy has its own ‘6 Music’, this would be their flagship show.

Loving working my way through these - as a newbie on the scene it’s so useful for learning who’s who, what’s what, how not to be a complete tool on the circuit!

Not usually a big consumer of podcasts, but if you want to make your mark without wasting heaps of time and money, you'd be daft not to listen to what the experts have to say. SImon is an engaging interviewer who lets his subjects do the talking. Goldmine of info and inspiration.Read full review »

As a NYC native with a love of all things British, EdFringe, industry, and comedy, Simon’s podcasts have been a valuable tool while also being entertaining and well-produced. Anyone working in the industry should give it a listen. And anyone who is a fan of the arts should also tune in.
