    Comedy Heroes #23 Steve Coogan

    The Always Be Comedy team (OK, James and Tim) have launched a spin-off podcast: Always Be Comedy’s Comedy Heroes. Each Friday, they’ll celebrate the icons, trailblazers and, in some instances, overlooked geniuses who’ve shaped the world of humour. Today's hero is Steve Coogan! SELECTED HIGHLIGHTS Steve Coogan reading a review on The Man Who Think He's It https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xd5LIsLulcc Duncan Thickett https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNwH4lXAkf0 Alan Partridge meets Martin Brennan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEjEGbAFzJU More on Comedy Heroes : We’ll uncover hidden gems, revisit classic routines, and share the sorts of behind-the-scenes anecdotes that you can pass off as your own knowledge at dinner parties (“Did you know that Julia Louis-Dreyfus is the daughter of a billionaire? You did? Ah, that’s sort of rained on my parade a little…”). What’s more, each episode kicks off with reader correspondence. Want to nominate a “Comedy Hero”? Please email theteam@alwaysbecomedy.com with the subject line “Comedy Heroes”. And we’ll also take a look at the comedy news from that week.  If laughter is the best medicine, James and Tim should be doctors*! *This is just a gentle way to wrap up – James and Tim should NOT be doctors.
