The Comedian's Comedian Podcast

Joe Sutherland is a stand-up, actor and writer with sold out runs at the Edinburgh Fringe who has appeared on Roast Battle and Hypothetical, acted opposite 30 Rock's Jack McBrayer on Urban Myths, and picked up a walk-on role on EastEnders as a Head Judge of a Walford beauty competition!

Joe has also done tour support for the likes of Sophie Duker and Ellie Taylor, as well as RuPaul's Drag Race stars Trixie Mattel, Alyssa Edwards, Kate Butch and Sasha Velour. In this episode, we discuss:

our shared history with a youth drama club
being smuggled into a comedy club as a child by his dad to see comics he now performs alongside
the process of piling up one-liners then organising with a throughline
choosing to lean into being perceived as an effeminate gay man rather than let others weaponise that perception first
refusing to soften material for straight audiences
and we find out if Joe is happy...

Amy Annette has been described by the Guardian as a ‘delight to behold’. Her debut hour 'Thick Skin' was a total sell-out at Edinburgh and was nominated for Best New Show at the Leicester Comedy Festival. Prior to stand-up, she was an experienced producer, script editor and editorial consultant - and is currently working on the comedy drama, Pretty Face. She’s now back with Say What You Like About Me at Edinburgh this summer. We discuss:

how Amy’s dual citizenship shaped her sense of humour
how working with Amy Poehler's production company helped her unlearn needing to justify her right to space
becoming aware of an audience's gaps in cultural knowledge
why long development processes doesn't mean things are going badly
how reviews describe women's comedy as "vibe" while crediting men's comedy as craft
and we find out if Amy is happy...

Joe Wells is known best for his shows exploring mental health and his neurodiversity being autistic, while before that he first made his name as a political comedian with shows like Night of the Living Tories.
