Red Richardson has been described by Chortle as one of the most exciting new comedians in recent years, and you only need to watch him in action to understand why.

In this episode, Red explains how he went from knowing almost nothing about stand-up comedy to becoming a full time comic in under five years.

You can find him on Twitter here.

I’ve wanted to get Luke Craig on the podcast for a while, so I’m really pleased we were finally able to persuade him to chat with us. I first saw Luke at the Cavendish Arms about 18 months ago and was immediately impressed with his act – you can get a taste of his material in this five minute set at Up the Creek’s Beat the Blackout night.

In this episode, Luke talks to us about his journey so far, his approach to writing material, and we bitch about our kids quite a lot...

Anybody on the open mic scene in London over recent years will recognise Ross Smith, as a long-standing host of the popular Comedy Virgins night at the Cavendish Arms, as well as Angel Comedy at the Bill Murray Pub.

He’s created two succesful Edinburgh shows, and is a regular face at comedy clubs in London and around the UK.

In this episode, Ross talks about how he got into standup and dealt with his early struggle to work out exactly what kind of comedy he should be doing, and delves into how he writes new material and improves as a comedian.

You can find Ross on his website, Twitter, and Facebook.

The video recording of this podcast is available on Facebook.

Daniel Muggleton is an Australian pro comic, currently living in London, with a new special out on Amazon called Let’s Never Hang Out. You can find his website here, and follow him on Twitter too.

We recorded this podcast at the Vauxhall Comedy Club, shortly before Dan did a set there, and in it he gives us the inside story of what it’s like to get a special filmed and distributed.

He also gave us a lot of useful advice on things like how to get better at crowd-work, and figuring out how (or even if) you should take on tricky topics in your act.
