Insane In The Men Brain

Comedian Alistair Barrie. (Did he mention he's playing at the Comedy Store?)Alistair Barrie and I have been friends and colleagues for almost 20 years an we really have seen the best and worst of each other but we’ve never really sat and had a proper in depth chat until this very episode where we really opened up to each other and it was an absolute pleasure to do so. Alistair is currently on tour and will be filming a comedy special at The Comedy Store on November 28th, tickets for which can be found at www.alistairbarrie.com. Hosted on Acast.

I was first introduced to the magic of Frank Foucault at the Edinburgh Festival back in 2018 and I was completely blown away by his originality. My friend Katie aka Myra Hollow was raving about him and dragged me along by the scruff of my neck and I’m so glad she did because he has now become one of my favourite comedians. This is part one of a two part episode as we had to cut it short so Producer Paul could go get his yoga on. Stay tuned for part two coming soon. Hosted on Acast.

This week’s guest is fantastic actor and host of the wonderful "My Time Capsule" podcast, Michael Fenton Stevens, and oh what a joy it was! Michael and I grew up in the same area but we had no idea just how similar our lives have been. We talked school days, what it was like growing up in St Mary’s Cray, inspirational teachers and the importance of taking some chances in your life. Hosted on Acast.
