  • Updated Weekly

Each episode I turn stand up comedians (Helen Bauer, Jordan Brookes, Sunil Patel, Jen Ives and so many more) into serious musicians. You'll hear us write and produce a song together from scratch. You’ll hear the nuts and bolts of the creative process in action; from the embryonic stages of a burgeoning idea right the way through to the finished masterpiece. And at the end of it you'll hear a reaction from a genuine serious musician in the biz. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
