The Comedian's Comedian Podcast

Your show. Liking it. Please have on Paul and Sasha from "Community News with Paul and Sasha" or whatever their real names are. They are the funniest show within a show in podcasting. All original. Would love to hear about their process with you. Keep up the good work.

Easily the best podcast about the creative process. This show and its archive are gifts to current/future comedians but even if you’re not a comedian (and not that into comedy) ((who is this hypothetical person?)) hearing smart, funny people talk about how they think is a joy. Stu Goldsmith - smart and funny in his own right - always encourages his guests to discuss aspects of their work they haven’t shared elsewhere. Truly special.

So many podcasts are just someone talking off of the top of their head. Stu actually does the research before talking to comedians—watches their stuff, reads other interviews—so you get a more thorough and interesting conversation than the ones you are used to hearing. He’s funny and self-deprecating, he’s well-practiced, he’s well-traveled, and he cares about the CRAFT of comedy as well as just the jokes. With ten years of archives, there’s a good chance he’s talked to someone you’d like to learn more about.

I am relatively new to this podcast but have been hovering up the episodes. I love listening to the episodes that correspond to a comedian’s special, e.g. James Acaster and Cold Lasagne Hate Myself. A particular highlight is the Brett Goldstein episode. Can’t wait to keep discovering new insights and comedians!
