In this episode, I talk to the wonderful comedian, PAUL MERRYCK.

The Essex based character comedian is shameless, ineffective and unethical on stage delivering a hysterical collection of short stories and jokes about the mishaps of his life. Merryck is a regular on the London and South-East comedy circuit and comperes a monthly night at ACanteen in Chelmsford. He is also a regular at Fringe Festivals, including performing at the Edinburgh Fringe every year since 2016, and Hastings Comedy Festival since 2018.

I have seen Merryck live on stage for Angel Comedy at The Bill Murray pub in Islington, London in 2023, and a guest on The Late Show at The Hastings Comedy Festival in 2024.

In this episode, I talk to the fantastic comedian, HUW THOMAS.

I have spent many a happy comedy night from 1992 to 1997, watching legendary resident compere Thomas at the Downstairs at The Kings Head Comedy Club in Crouch End, London. The club was co-founded in 1981 by Peter Grahame and Thomas, who was forced to retire in 2002, after twenty years, due to health problems. During his glorious time at the club, he would perform his off-the-wall comedy routines (including infamous animal impressions) to delighted audiences.

In this episode, I talk to the brilliant comedian, GARY JENNISON.

Jennison is a co-director (with comedian Jed Salisbury) of the annual Hull Comedy Festival, held each November. He has funny bones is determined not to leave the stage until an audience is laughing. He is also one of the friendliest and most consistently hilarious people I have ever encountered.

I have seen Jennison perform at the Hastings Comedy Festival in June 2022, 2023, and 2024, and the Hull Comedy Festival in November 2022, 2023, and 2024.
