A RICH COMIC LIFE PODCAST

I have seen many great comedians give memorable and hilarious performances for 50 years. However, I have often wondered what makes these fearless brave people appear live on stage every night and be funny. So, I have decided to interview some of my favourite comedians to try and find out.

    In this episode, I talk to the fantastic comedian, HUW THOMAS.

Among many performances over the years, at the Edinburgh Fringe, I have watched Nichol as a guest for Nicholas Parsons Happy Hour in 2005, appear in the plays Talk Radio and True West (both 2006), Killer Joe (2007), and The School for Scandal (2009) and Hughie in 2019.  He was a guest for Mervyn Stutter’s 20th Anniversary Pick of the Fringe in 2012 and in London, Downstairs at The Kings Head 40th Anniversary Show in 2023.
