Russell Howard’s Five Brilliant Things

He’s often called the Comic’s Comic, he’s a really excellent stand-up and his Five Things are a fantastically esoteric collection ranging from Moshing to Ice Hockey to Star Trek. 

Sean hosts his very own late-night talk show, but for free and on YouTube starring one of the funniest comics from the UK and World circuits. It’s called ‘The Sean McTalk Show’ and it’s frankly criminal that you can get this without paying, it’s extremely good indeed - check it out through this link.

Hello there!

Welcome to March’s Moments of the Month. In case you’re new here, this is a compilation show with a little snifter of each guest we’ve enjoyed this month, so you can get a flavour.

Then if you like the taste of any of them you can double-back and listen to the whole episode. It’s a good way to discover someone you would never have thought of clicking on before. 

First in studio in November was the brilliant Northern Irish stand-up Shane Todd.

After that we were visited by another superb stand-up Pierre Novellie, who told us about the big skies of Africa…

Ben Shephard, he of Tipping Point and many other shows, was next…and he told us of the glory of bubbles.

And finally the South-East London comic Andrew Mensah popped in with tales of playing Padel with Wayne Rooney.

So there we go! That’s a little taste of what March was like. All of those shows are available in full right now, so if you got a taste for it, go and get some more.

Thanks as always for listening and there will be a new show, as usual, this coming Wednesday. 

Byeeee!

There’s also a fascinating insight into the way British society interfaces with its cultural landscape; Andrew’s account of how he managed to move from the gang culture of his childhood to become well-loved fixture on the comedy circuit is the kind of thing you don’t hear often.
