Customer Reviews
A must-listen for comedy fans
Really enjoying this pod. Great guests, from household names to up and coming acts. The host Phil is funny, clearly knows and loves comedy and has a great book of contacts, but is also great at interviewing. Doesn’t jump in and talk over the guests and has a warm, natural rapport with them all. It’s great to hear what’s going on at Edinburgh Fringe, but this could run longer term.
I’d happily listen for longer and 30 mins flies by.
A wonderful podcast!
Really informative podcast - Even in short form you get deeply touching moments, absolute hilarity and some really good insights into inspiration and writing processes - cracking stuff. Nice one!
