Late night London walking pod
Feb 2700:26:41Tap to summarizeIt's too hot and couldn't sleep, so I went for a walk from Notting Hill to Central London. I saw Colin Firth get an Uber, and definietly popped up on the radar of the Russian Embassy by accident.I talk about my first gig, first fights, and some blue plaque stuff too.Come to The Gladstone Arms at Borough on March 9th for a gig with Huge Davies and Peter Flanagan!
Transcribe →Into the Wild with Ryan Dalton
Feb 1201:03:08Tap to summarizeMy jaw operation was a success, and I'm able to talk again without dribbling all over myself...what a time to be alive!This week's guest is documentarian and host of the hit podcast "Into The Wild" Ryan Dalton. Before his life in all things nature took hold Ryan was a standup comedian, and we shared many a terrible open mic stage in the greater London area when we started out.I talk to him about the decision to quit performing comedy, and how he found himself in Namibia investigating ethical hunting. Please listen to his great show "Into the Wild", and follow him on Instagram @intothewildpodcast

Jan 200:18:28Tap to summarizeHope you all had a great Christmas/Hanukkah/New Year and are ready to hit 2026 right in the dick!I'm at home and getting some absolute top-tier Dad-lore (did you know the Newry Pies Factory was involved in the US Military industrial complex? No? Me either!There's a Patreon exclusive episode this week too so have a look there for a rant to end all rants on public decency.
Transcribe →Fighting freakshows from Jake Paul to Muhammad Ali
Dec 2400:29:34Tap to summarizeMerry Christmasssss!The absolute freak show fights from this past weekend gave me the idea to chat about my favourite, most awful, fights in history as well as what happens when a regular gym bro thinks they can beat up a heavyweight champion of the world.
Transcribe →David Walliams, P Diddy, and a history of hangovers
Dec 2000:33:01Tap to summarize"Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds"This week we had a Comedians' 12 pubs of Christmas in London and BOY OH BOY did it take a toll! It sent me into a rabbit-hole learning all about the history of hangovers and their various cures over the centuries (pickles feature heavily).Last night news came out that comedian, presenter, user of black face way after everyone knew it was racist, was dropped by his publisher after a series of sexual assault allegations by female staff members. He denies the allegations and of course has a right to defend himself, but I chat about that.In other "creative people who are massive creeps" news I watched the P Diddy documentary on Netflix and holy Mary mother of God what was he up to! CRazy stuff.Anyway - here you go!
Transcribe →Spotify Wrapped (rage), my row with a Tory (rage), coffee shop etiquette (more rage), and Jerry Seinfeld cereal-nonce (amazed)
Dec 1200:35:11Tap to summarizeHello!Thanks for being a subscriber! This week I'm chatting about a lovely wedding last weekend that involved annoying staff, arguments with old-school tories but mainly great fun. I watched the Jerry Seinfeld movie "Unfrosted" and cannot quite believe how terrible it was, and there's a good chunk on the etiquette of being in a public place.Hope you enjoy!
Transcribe →Mike Rice at Shepherd's Bush Empire,Hillsborough report, and poor old "Prince" Andrew
Dec 400:19:45Tap to summarizeWe had a week of being real culture vultures going to see the nasty little man Mike Rice sell out his biggest ever show on Sunday, then Hans Zimmer at the O2 on Monday. Special shout out to Rob Moriarty who opened for Mike and absolutely SMASHED it! (also some guy Vittorio who's a real hidden gem I believe!)Another dozen prisoners walked out this week so i have what is now my only recurring segment talking about that.Thanks for listening!
Transcribe →"That's Troy Parreh!", Juryless trials, your worst ever teacher, and won't someone think of the Billionaires!
Nov 2700:24:32Tap to summarizeOh what a week!!!I talk about the emotional toll Troy Parrott's hat-trick to send Ireland to the World Cup Play-offs took, the latest Budget, why I still hate an old teacher I had, and for the love of all that's holy and right won't someone please think of the billionaires!!!
Transcribe →Super vulnerable morose times
Nov 2000:29:13Tap to summarizeTrigger warning - I was on the scene of a pretty horrible accident on Saturday and it made me think about death. In the podcast this week I talk about friends who've passed away, and also how to get your head from that place to going to a gig. There are long pauses where you may think "Is my volume muted?" but it's just me composing myself.Normal craic podcast will resume later this week!
