Russell Howard’s Five Brilliant Things

Comedian and Actor Peter Serafinowicz takes an hour out of his hectic filming schedule to sit down and explain why we should listen to the Oh-Sees, why the Bionic Commando soundtrack was so groundbreaking and he gives us the most iconic death noise in video-game history. 

If you want to see Peter, get onto Netflix and watch Million Dollar Secret which he hosts. If you want to be Peter, then get Elden Ring and you can experience (as recreated on the podcast) his effort noises. Also watch out for him in the upcoming Elden Ring film! Exciting stuff. 

This blurb was produced with a huge number of effort noises that it’s extremely fortunate you didn’t hear because it sounded like someone struggling with a particularly stubborn turd. 

Bye bye you weird blurb reading person.

Hello there!

Welcome to June's Moments of the Month. In case you’re new here, this is a compilation show with a little snippet 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 June was the lead singer and creative force behind Kasabian... Serge Pizzorno

After that we were visited by the superb stand-up Sindhu Vee with incredible stories about her formidable mother.

Stand-up and acting icon Aziz Ansari was over from America so he popped in to see us next...

And finally the SNL break-out star and internet comedy titan Al Nash was in with some very traditional British cosiness. And teeth.

So there we go! That’s a little taste of what June 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!

A lovely chat with a lovely guest: Natalie talks about her time behind the scenes on Eastenders (and her prodigious ability to nap on command), her more recent time spent working with the care system and sharing memes that people have made out of her own face!

There’s  loads to enjoy, please dive in and have a great time. 

We talked about it on the show - Nat has her podcast ‘Life with Nat’ alongside her closest friends and family, so if you want to hang out with Nat more long-term, you absolutely can. Visit https://lifewithnatpod.komi.io/ and get involved.

AL NASH

From SNL UK and your favourite online viral sketches, it’s comic and actor Al Nash! 

Al popped in to chat to Russell about why there’s nothing quite as enjoyable as a School Fair, the simple delight of the ‘umble crumpet and and extraordinary story about the time his flat was raided by the police. Yeah! You did’t see that one coming did you?

The chat also goes into fascinating detail of how they made that first season of SNL UK and what it’s like to forge a career as an online sketch comedian.

You can watch Al’s online stuff at https://www.alnashcomedy.co.uk (and you should: they are really fast silly sketches that properly nail the online culture at the moment). He will also feature in season two of SNL UK which will be on Sky this autumn, but you’ll see it in chunks on your online feed because nobody subscribes to Sky for the comedy. The football pays for everything else innit. 

Thank you for your enduring love. It’s requited in a slightly creepy way. See you next week, space ranger!

He’s only one of the biggest comics in the whole of the US! You know him from Parks and Rec, his own brilliant Netflix show Master of None and most recently from his incredible turn on SNL as Kash Patel. 

He’s here in the studio with his Five Brilliant Things which show a real meticulous, thoughtful side to him: whether it’s Martinis, Espressos or the feeling of real pen on paper, Aziz is here for the tactile experiences. It’s a funny and warm show that you will definitely enjoy.

🎟️  We talked about it in the pod - Aziz is coming to the Royal Albert Hall! He’s bringing his latest show Hypothetical for one very special night. It’s on Saturday 11th July and you can get your tickets by going to https://www.azizansari.com and following the links 🎟️

Pleasure to have you here! Until next time amigo x
