#152 Rufus Rice: A Comedian’s Guide to Being Posh

Rufus Rice is a comedian, podcaster, musician and viral TikTok creator known for his posh-boy persona, chaotic storytelling, sharp class commentary and cult online catchphrases like “Hello shaggers.”

In this episode of Origin Story, Rufus Rice sits down with David McIntosh Jr at Spotify HQ for a hilarious and surprisingly revealing conversation about class, private school, boarding school, TikTok fame, comedy, music, going viral, social mobility, the “posh” hierarchy, Scottish schemes, Patreon, the manosphere, Big John, Maltesers, and why he refuses to take sync claps seriously.

From growing up in Singapore and going to boarding school, to dropping out of university and building a career through TikTok, Rufus explains how he accidentally became one of the UK’s most recognisable young comedy creators while refusing to pretend he has a traumatic origin story.

This is a chaotic, funny and brutally honest conversation about privilege, class, ambition, internet fame and what happens when a posh TikToker gets interrogated by a poor Scottish podcaster.
