The Comedian's Comedian Podcast

Most people in the comedy world will know Jonno Johnson as a third of the sketch trio Sheeps, but most recently he’s taken up the role of Head Writer at SNL UK! In this episode recorded in January 2026, we discuss:

the hidden world of sketch writing and script editing
why he wanted to be the Chuckle Brothers
how he manages on-stage anxiety in real time
Jonno’s musical talents from writing pantomimes to freestyle raps
the Sheeps approach of building a sketch with structure, misdirection and building towards something bigger than it seems
the hidden fear of a show's attendance over the performance
the turning point of getting out of your own way
and Jonno's advice for aspiring comedy writers

Charlene Kaye is a musician and comedian based in New York who has toured the world, opening for bands like the Arctic Monkeys and Metallica.

how a Taylor Swift parody changed everything
