    Al Nash

    AL NASH From SNL UK and your favourite online viral sketches, it’s comic and actor Al Nash!  Al popped in to chat to Russell about why there’s nothing quite as enjoyable as a School Fair, the simple delight of the ‘umble crumpet and and extraordinary story about the time his flat was raided by the police. Yeah! You did’t see that one coming did you? The chat also goes into fascinating detail of how they made that first season of SNL UK and what it’s like to forge a career as an online sketch comedian. You can watch Al’s online stuff at https://www.alnashcomedy.co.uk (and you should: they are really fast silly sketches that properly nail the online culture at the moment). He will also feature in season two of SNL UK which will be on Sky this autumn, but you’ll see it in chunks on your online feed because nobody subscribes to Sky for the comedy. The football pays for everything else innit.  Thank you for your enduring love. It’s requited in a slightly creepy way. See you next week, space ranger!  Producer: Dan Atkinson Line Producer: Daisy Knight Exec Producer: James Taylor Composer: Fat Lady Music Learn more about your ad choices.

    He’s only one of the biggest comics in the whole of the US! You know him from Parks and Rec, his own brilliant Netflix show Master of None and most recently from his incredible turn on SNL as Kash Patel.  He’s here in the studio with his Five Brilliant Things which show a real meticulous, thoughtful side to him: whether it’s Martinis, Espressos or the feeling of real pen on paper, Aziz is here for the tactile experiences. It’s a funny and warm show that you will definitely enjoy. 🎟️  We talked about it in the pod - Aziz is coming to the Royal Albert Hall! He’s bringing his latest show Hypothetical for one very special night.

    Sindhu Vee

    Comedian and Actor Sindhu Vee is in the studio and she’s brought stories galore! Her Five Things serve as catalysts to some of the funniest and most excellent stories we’ve had on the show in some time.  From ‘the ability to cry on demand’ to Free Bibles and Fake Hotdogs, this is a tremendous show. Hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed making it.  You should go to see Sindhu live, and you can! Sindhu is out on tour with her smash hit show ’SWANKY’.  🎟️  There are a handful of European dates in the coming few days, then from September Sindhu is taking the show to theatres up and down the UK, with dates all the way through to April 2027. Many dates have already sold out so if you’re planning to buy then get on it! Check out https://sindhuvee.com/live/ for dates and tickets.  🎟️ Thanks for your presence here, you are always welcome. Even down here at the bottom of the blurb. There’s only the credits to go now. You’re like the last person in the cinema. There’s an usher waiting to clear up the popcorn. Better go now.  Producer: Dan Atkinson Line Producer: Daisy Knight Exec Producer: James Taylor Composer: Fat Lady Music Why are you still here!? Learn more about your ad choices.

    Serge Pizzorno

    Serge from Kasabian and Russell sit down and discuss the creative process, what it means to be an artist in the digital age, how to age gracefully and how to make the perfect egg. There’s something utterly engaging about listening to artists from the top of different fields discussing the similarities and differences between the ways they work and this show is no exception. Get involved, get inspired and maybe discover some songwriting and comedy writing secrets.  And as we said in the show, Kasabian are playing a massive gig this summer at Finsbury Park in London. It’s on July 4th, it’s going to be a packed line-up and it’s going to be unmissable. Tickets from Ticketmaster through this link. And Kasabian’s new Album ‘Act III’ is coming out on July 17th - you can pre-order copies of that at https://www.kasabian.co.uk  🎟️ And please do go to see Russell while he’s on tour with his latest show that’s busting out some rave reviews: Don’t miss this fantastic show of all brand-new material.

    5월 27일

    Rhys James

    Do you want to show Rhys James a good time? All you need to do is take him to a hotel gym with Harry Styles, under the influence of general anaesthetic. At least…that’s what we have taken away from this fantastically breezy, genial show with the Mock the Week star (well…two of them really). Rhys’s Five Things include being rendered senseless, having that first pint after a sporting endeavour and the enigmatic Harry Styles.  As you can tell from the show you just listened to (or are about to consume?) Rhys is an expert comedian, and he’s got a new show on the road from September this year. It’s called ‘Chop Logic’ and you can find out all the dates and buy those tickets by going to https://rhysjames.co.uk. The show will also be at the Pleasance Courtyard in Edinburgh for 14 nights if you happen to be there.  🎟️ And please do go to see Russell while he’s on tour with his latest show that’s busting out some rave reviews: Don’t miss this fantastic show of all brand-new material. Find out more at https://www.russell-howard.co.uk 🎟️ Thank you for stopping by for your annual blurb check-up. Your results are through and we’re pleased to tell you that you’ve come through another year in perfect health. Your stamina, your curiosity and your thirst for banality are unmatched by anyone else who’s had their blurb check this year. Congratulations and here’s to another year of the same.  Producer: Dan Atkinson Line Producer: Daisy Knight Exec Producer: James Taylor Composer: Fat Lady Music Learn more about your ad choices.

    Josh Pugh

    The brilliant comedian Josh Pugh lays out his favourite things and they are quintesentially British: Greggs! Garden Centres! The…Italian…National…Anthem? Josh brings his trademark authenticity and easy charm to this fabulous hour of chat that celebrates some of the simplest pleasures in life (and the rousing pomp of a certain nation’s patriotic ditty).  Josh is a fantastic live comedian with some of the best jokes and ideas out there - and his latest tour ‘Ha Ha Yeah Sound’ is hitting the theatres of the UK from September 2026. You can find out the exact dates and buy tickets by going to Josh’s website: https://joshpughcomic.com 🎟️ And please do go to see Russell while he’s on tour with his latest show that’s busting out some rave reviews: Don’t miss this fantastic show of all brand-new material. Find out more at https://www.russell-howard.co.uk 🎟️ Thanks for stopping by again, your custom at the bottom of the blurb is very much appreciated. May we spend many long hours in future down here in the bowels of the blurb just quietly enjoying the mossy silence. They don’t know what they are missing.  Producer: Dan Atkinson Line Producer: Daisy Knight Exec Producer: James Taylor Composer: Fat Lady Music Learn more about your ad choices.

    Jess Fostekew

    Comedian, power-lifter, soccer mom, bean fanatic… Jess Fostekew is all these things and more.  In this funny, fun and fascinating episode there’s laughing and learning…Why you should never wear gloves in the gym, why y’all need to be eating more beans, and why hugging, within certain parameters, could be the best thing you can do for your wellbeing…  Keep up with Jess by following her on Instagram HERE. There’s also like, one date left for her ‘Iconic Breath’ tour so you can check that out and buy tickets HERE. You never know there may be an extension so click it anyway.  🎟️ And please do go to see Russell while he’s on tour with his latest show that’s busting out some rave reviews: Don’t miss this fantastic show of all brand-new material. Find out more at https://www.russell-howard.co.uk 🎟️ That’s all you’re getting for today, blurban explorers. Well done for getting this far into the blurb without triggering any of the alarms, you’ve been very astute and taken just the right amount of risks. You’re welcome to take some photos but remember leave nothing but footprints, take nothing but memories. x Producer: Dan Atkinson Line Producer: Daisy Knight Exec Producer: James Taylor Composer: Fat Lady Music Learn more about your ad choices.
