In this first episode of the second season of LaughterOnTap, John speaks to Samia Nicolas, a science teacher in a secondary school. Much as she cringes at the term TCK, Samia explains what it's like to be one and how it has affected her humour and her friendships. Samia also talks about the comic strip she writes and in particular her favourite character: an atomic rabbit with no nose.

Sophie Duffy, a prolific fiction writer, finds her humour in the mundane and the tragic, which rather surprisingly results in very upbeat novels. In this first in-person recording of LaughterOnTap John talks to Sophie about how important laughter has been throughout her life, and especially in the past year and her battle with cancer.

Rob Graver, a writer who specialises in horror, thrillers and dark twisted tales, explains his views on laughter. Don't miss this fascinating discussion!

In this special episode John appears on the STAGES podcast, and permission has kindly been given for it to appear on this channel as well. Please listen to other episodes of STAGES, available on all the major platforms.

You might be mistaken for thinking Billy Connolly has stopped by for this latest episode of LaughterOnTap. Iain Cowieson talks about his work as a pantomime dame, his Billy Connolly impressions, and why laughter is so important to him in every aspect of his life.
