Today we welcome comedian and author Ian Stone to the podcast. Ian explains how he deals with divisive issues onstage and why world events have unfortunately allowed previous routines to once again become relevant. He shares his love for Billy Connolly, especially on Parkinson, and breaks down the brilliance of Ronnie Barker's comic delivery in the TV show 'Porridge'. Although Ian is very much into his music, we find out how he really felt whilst appearing on 'Never Mind The Buzzcocks'. We also chat about the slog of writing books, TV appearances versus live performance, and how Ian once co-wrote a filthy sketch for the cast of children's TV show 'Rainbow'. All music written and performed in this podcast by Steve Otis Gunn Please buy my book 'You Shot My Dog and I Love You' available in all good book shops, online and directly.
