When lockdown hit and all shows were cancelled for the foreseeable we weren't too sure what to do next with West Didsbury Comedy Festival.
After a few weeks of crying I dusted myself down and decided to get some shows out online and to make the most of the situation.
This episode is the audio from our live streamed Heat 3 of the New Act competition and it is an absolute beauty.
I joined MC Chris Brooker throughout a lot of the show as we introduced some brilliant new-ish acts, plus the amazing Micky P Kerr who closed the show.
1) ALEX STRINGER 2) LEW FITZ 3) SILHAM SHAHZAD 4) TOM RHYS EVANS 5) ANDY QUIRK 6) LAURA K MCMAHON 7) PAUL CAMPBELL 8) NATALIE HUSDAN
HEADLINER MICKY P KERR

S2 EP13: TONY COWARDS
Tony is a rapidfire gag merchant with an arsenal full of one-liners, for laughs-per-minute he's tough to beat! Renowned on the circuit for his quick wit and beautifully crafted material I am personally a big fan of Tony and his work! Something of a Twitter sensation, Tony's jokes turn up in all sorts of places, from greetings cards to The Times newspaper, even if you've never heard of him there's a good chance that you'll have laughed at one of his gags.
We enjoy a lovely rambling conversation which takes us everywhere from dog walking, to family life, static electricity, corona virus, online comedy and bins...mainly bins.
The best joke writer around - GQ Magazine

LEE JONES is both the owner of ROFL comedy club and also the owner of both WBU and WBF World Boxing Titles.
Its a fascinating discussion about boxing (I know literally nothing about it, but how often do you talk to a world champion!) and how Lee ended up with first a comedy club in Burslam and now currently ROFL in Newcastle Under Lyme.
Not too surprisingly Lee is a focused and determined man who likes things just a certain way, and it is that attention to detail and winning mentality that is gaining ROFL rave reviews from both comedians and audiences. A chat almost from the other side of comedy where we look at the impact of Lockdown on his business and what a club owner thinks about the circuit.

S2 E10: Boothby Graffoe should have been performing a sold out on opening night of my comedy festival, WEST DIDSBURY COMEDY FESTIVAL. Now for obvious reasons the festival could not go ahead, so rather than be beaten completely we teamed up with Jokepit.com and EVO Didsbury to put a mini version of the festival live and online. The audio here is from the live stream, so there are a couple of occasions when we are clearly chatting about something visual. However, this was just too good not share from one of the very best in the business. We even get some songs too! To fill in the gaps head to https://www.facebook.com/westdidscomfest and watch this video plus other shows that went out over festival weekend. ENJOY!
If you don’t know Boothby here are just a few quotes about his greatness! ‘A musical comedy act who is more musical than most musicians, and funnier than most comedians.' - Stewart Lee
'If I had to compare him to anyone, it would be Spike Milligan.' - Omid Djalili
"Sings songs that are both beautiful and funny" - The Guardian
"...it's not fair to call them comedy songs, they are much more than that, there are some i would dare to call genius." -The Times
"Buy two copies of his cd because you'll want to share but you won't want to give it away." -The Scotsman
"No more music maestro, please!" -The Independent
"It's gloriously entertaining and creative stuff, with surreal leaps of imagination, twists of language and intelligent and pithy one-liners all intertwined with poignant yet often hilarious songs and music."

Any Matthews is a stand up comedian living in Edinburgh, based in Glasgow during lockdown and originally for Leigh-On-Sea. We actually manage a fairly normal chat about comedy in the most part, how she got into, some brilliant Edfringe tips, her style and how she writes. We obviously stray into ‘C Word’ territory now and again, but not too much! It’s a really fun episode, Amy is a charming guest and I am on brilliant form haha. Sit back relax and enjoy!

S2 E7: HOLLY BURN is an exceptional comedian, actress and writer.
Her mix of stand-up and surreal character work has seen her excel in all mediums from stage to screen and social media sensation.
Eddie Izzard has described her as ‘Sexy and bonkers like twin peaks’. You may recognise her from stand out performances on Harry Hills Clubnite and from the viral hit she achieved with her take on ‘73 questions with Victoria Beckham’.
Infectious with her energy, enthusiasm and talent Holly was generous in her conversation providing some insight into her own lockdown experience and what the future may bring.
I hope you get as much out of this episode as I did recording it!

S2 EP5: MILO EDWARDS
An episode that doesn't centre around lockdowns or viruses (OK there is a bit of it still!), and where I learn that my vocabulary is slowly diminishing.
I chat with Milo about his foray into Russian standup, both on the circuit and on TV, what he would have been doing at Edfringe 2020, his book, the UK circuit and a bit more in between. A really fascinating guy and I hope a welcome escape return to standup chat for all of my beautiful listeners!
You can check out Milo on his socials and be sure to catch one of his amazing festival shows as soon as those things exist again.

Touching on the virus obviously, how we are coping, will this change peoples material and styles of stand up, a little bit of politics and how keen Pope is to get back out there.

S2 EP1: SADIA AZMAT - THE LOCKDOWN TAPES
Season 2 launches in style as I am joined by the exceptional stand up and podcaster SADIA AZMAT! As I predicted in the trailer for season 2, the conversation is dominated by Convid-19 and the societal, cultural, political and economic impact it is having and could have in future...plus what this could mean for the future of live comedy and the current trend of 'gigging' online.
Its a fascinating chat with one of the most relevant voices currently on the circuit and I can't ABOUT SADIA AZMAT Sadia Azmat is a British Asian Stand-up comedian and writer from East London. In 2011, Sadia performed a short show ‘Please Hold - You’re Being Transferred To A UK Based Asian Representative’, featuring on BBC Front Row.

In 2018 Sadia launched her critically acclaimed BBC podcast “No Country For Young Women” which has enjoyed global success and consistent reviews from audiences and critics alike including 'Best audio 2018' as featured by Miranda Sawyer for the Observer and Apple's Top picks for 2018. The podcast explores Sadia and her friend discovering their roots and where to call home when your place of birth differs from that of your family.
