    Green Room Special: The Juggling Act

    Green Room Special: Scott Adams Scott Adams is back from Edinburgh and straight into the Green Room hot seat. This week, it's all about the juggling act — how do you run a business, manage a family, and still chase the comedy dream without losing your mind? We get into time poverty, the Edinburgh Fringe grind, Scott's new Van Man character, his ongoing (one-sided) feud with Jack Whitehall, a biscuit ranking debate that somehow derails everything, and a Top Five countdown of the part-time comedian's worst enemies. Plus: signal drops, alien abductions, penguins, Stuart Lee in a werewolf costume, and a Bell End of the Week involving a man from Ipswich who sells tiles. It's loose, it's long, and it's exactly what happens when two busy comedians finally get a window in the diary. Who Remembers Spangles? is hosted by 'Comedy Buoys' promoter Paul Dunn (Pablo) and Lowestoft-born comedian Scott Adams. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Spotlight: Patrick Monahan

    From winning a televised comedy talent show with a £100,000 prize to warming up studio audiences for sitcoms filmed at Elstree — Patrick Monahan has done it all, and he's done it with a grin you can hear through your speakers. In this Spotlight Special, Patrick sits down with us to trace the unlikely path from open-mic nights in grotty flat-roof pubs to prime-time TV. He unpacks the craft behind crowd work that feels like a conversation, the art of guiding an audience without them ever noticing, and why a 70-year-old and a 25-year-old can laugh at the exact same joke. We dive into his Edinburgh Fringe show — provocatively titled I'm Not a Terrorist, I'm Freddie Mercury — and the story behind growing up Iranian-Irish in 1980s Middlesbrough, where the nickname came long before the punchlines. Plus: Robert Plant vs. Robbie Williams as neighbours, what George Carlin understood that TikTok just rediscovered, and why someone once reported Ed Byrne's shed to the council. Warm, witty, and full of stories from a career that refuses to slow down — this is Patrick Monahan in the Spotlight Who Remembers Spangles? is hosted by 'Comedy Buoys' promoter Paul Dunn (Pablo) and Lowestoft-born comedian Scott Adams.

    Wilson Milton: The 7.5 Million-View Video That Changed Everything

    How does a Welsh accent end up sounding Bengali — and can one driveway video really change a comedian’s entire career? This week, Paul Dunn meets Wilson Milton: comedian, promoter, social media sensation and part-time carpet fitter whose brutally accurate accent videos have racked up millions of views. Wilson reveals how a spontaneous clip filmed while reversing down a driveway exploded to 7.5 million views, why ditching polished stand-up fr something more authentic transformed his live act, and how he gets away with impressions that could go very wrong in less skilful hands. They also expose the reality of running independent comedy nights, discuss whether social media is killing off comedy’s traditional gatekeepers and decide exactly why Jamie Oliver deserves to be shoved through this week’s Bellen D'or. Viral fame, risky accents, comedy politics and a celebrity roasting — this one has the lot.
