EP108 - Rob Kemp - A after winning 9 awards with The Elvis Dead

Fri, 07 Dec 2018 00:00:00 GMT

Rob Kemp (@RobotKemp) is the creator of the show the Elvis Dead (@ReadElvisDead). This show has won or been nominated for over a dozen awards including Leicester Comedy Festival Awards Best Show, Best Musical Show, Best Poster, The Edinburgh Comedy Awards Best Newcomer and Chortle's best newcomer and music / variety act. After so much success, how has this changed Rob’s career? How is he dealing with the pressure of writing a follow up show? What is the future for the Elvis Dead and more?

This is an in-depth look into what it is like to get a lot of success in a very short space of time after a long time of not getting that much attention. Are awards worth what we’re told they are? Do they help sell a show? Which ones have the most impact if any?

EP102 - Doug Stanhope - How to avoid all industry and build your own fan base.

Sun, 03 Jun 2018 22:11:14 GMT

Doug Stanhope (@DougStanhope) is a comedian, writer and podcaster with nearly 30 years of performing under his belt. After cutting his teeth on the open mic circuit, Doug moved into MCing a “crappy” hotel gig which gave him the taste of being a “comedian with a point of view”. Since then he’s spent his time building his cult-like following and touring with his brash, honest, loud and often controversial style of comedy.

I got him on to talk about...

-Building his audience from scratch one email at a time (before social media

-Why he started his podcast

-What he hates about clubs and the club circuit in general.

-How and why he puts up boundaries that keep fans as fans and not friends

-Why he wouldn't laugh at his own jokes or act.

-What I’ve learned in the last 100 interviews.

-What I’ve got out of the podcast (both good and bad).

-The positive and negative points of making a podcast and building a community.

-How has the podcast changed from my perspective and has impacted anything in my live career

EP100 – Jon Mountague – Comedy Commissioning Editor at Sky.

Fri, 16 Mar 2018 15:55:45 GMT

Jon Montague (@montiQu) is the head comedy commissioner at Sky TV. He heads up a team of diligent commissioning editors who are tasked with finding and making funny shows to entertain their 11 million subscribers. More recently Jon has also dipped his toe into podcasting and we got into what it's like making high end, high budget TV programs by day and low budget, low tech podcasts by night and how that's given him a new outlook on the internet, content and more.

I got him on to talk about...

-What makes a hit show on Sky and how he measures a hit show.

-Do they take unsolicited scripts?

-What makes a hit (to him and his team)?

-How he uses Edinburgh to scout for new talent

-What’s it like making TV for 11 million subscribers and then going home to make an episode of his niche podcast to a significantly lower number of subscribers.

Fri, 17 Nov 2017 06:00:00 GMT

Does it help having a following online to get on TV or radio?
Why he thinks there’s so few great comedy producers now.
Why he thinks acts with big profiles shouldn’t be doing the Free Fringe and who he books at his Fringe venue.
How does he push forward clients he represents that TV and radio are not interested in?

The Audio Time Capsule - Series 1 trailer.

Sun, 05 Nov 2017 00:07:23 GMT

INCOMING...here comes a little bit of cross-promotion.

Hello, Ask The Industry listeners....

I'll keep this brief.

I've been working on another podcast for 3 years. It's taken me 2 years to learn how to edit to a skill level that means I can do this show and another year to create the first episode, why?

The show is where the guest comes on, leaves 15-20 questions, then a year later comes back on and answers them. I then edit it so they're talking to their past self.

It's called The Audio Time Capsule. It's my best work in an audio medium by a country mile and I'm stupidly proud of it. I'd really love it if you could support my work by giving it a listen or subscribing.

EP91 – Helen Stead – Founder of NCF Comedy – The differences in comedy audiences between places in the midlands.

Fri, 03 Nov 2017 00:25:51 GMT

Helen Stead is the director and founder of NCF Comedy which started back in 2009 at the Nottingham Comedy Festival. Since then NCF has grown and had 8 successful comedy festivals and runs shows in Nottingham, Birmingham, Leicester and throughout the midlands all year long.

We talked about how you process with NCF, the difference in audiences from place to place in the midlands and why she does no free comedy nights (even her new material one is £1 entry). This is a far cry from London where every open mic or new material night is free.

EP88 - Milton Jones - How to make a career as a one-liner comedian.

Thu, 14 Sep 2017 23:04:48 GMT

Milton Jones ( @TheMiltonJones ) is a one-liner powerhouse with a strong work ethic and an interesting approach to how he see's his on stage self as a cartoon rather than a comedian or a character.

We talked about -

Is comedy still a stepping stone to “something else”?
His frustrations with getting work commissioned on TV (or the lack of it).
Did doing something a bit “different” / weird help him in his early career and has he benefitted from having promoters wanting “variety” How was his mental health while discovering his voice?
How does he get useful feedback now that he’s well known?
Why he enjoys dealing with hecklers and how he does that in character.
How he deals with imposter syndrome.

AND MORE.

This podcast would be great for any comedians wanting to make a career as a comedian (one-liner or not) and how much work (and luck) it takes to happen. Alternatively it would be good for a fan of Milton's who wants to know the inner workings of his head both on and off stage.

EP70 – Barry Ferns and Sarah Pearce – Angel Comedy – How to build a community-led comedy club.

Fri, 16 Dec 2016 10:32:46 GMT

Barry Ferns (@barryferns) started Angel Comedy (@angelcomedy) 6 years ago in 2010 as an open mic night to give himself more stagetime. Since then it has expanded and now runs comedy shows 7 nights a week. More recently the core team and their volunteer army have crowdfunded to lease their very own venue, just down the road from the original. They raised £46,643 from 1049 in 30 days.

I got on Barry and former comedian, now Angel booker / show manager / venue manager / everything Sarah Pearce to talk about how they did it and what we can learn from them.

This interview blew me away and by the end we were talking philosophy and finding what you want to do in life, and always working towards that. Specific subjects we covered included -

How Angel has built it's reputation on the clubs ethos alone.
How to build a community around a comedy club.
The teamwork and DIY attitude that embodies the entire groups mentality towards work.
Why they decided to buy a pub and when they felt was the best time to take that risk.
Why Sarah quit stand up and why Barry see's his career as a constant process of making stuff and staying in the industry.
How to find an audience for your shows/ gigs / comedy club.
How they've made the free model work in London (UK).

AND MORE!

This podcast would be useful for anyone who is a fan of Angel Comedy and the work they do be you a performer or an audience member who has attended one (or several) of their shows. Or someone looking at setting up a comedy club and you're not sure of how to build an audience for it. Or you might just be a comedian who wants to know more about the free economy and how it works.

EP69 - Michael Redmond - How he accidentally became a cult figure.

Sat, 03 Dec 2016 00:27:58 GMT

Michael Redmond (@redmondmichael1) is an Irish stand-up comedian from Blackrock, Dublin best known for playing Father Stone in the Father Ted episode "Entertaining Father Stone". He has a deadpan style of delivery which has led to him becoming a dependable and experienced performer of quotable, but hard to replicate gags... having said that one of his jokes was famously stolen by Joe Pasquale and we get into how he felt about that and the subsequent joke written by Stewart Lee. Redmond began his career as a writer for Irish radio and television, before moving to London and launching a successful stand-up career as a writer and a performer.

I got him on the podcast to talk about -

What was it like for him when Stewart Lee mentioned him in a joke about Joe Pasquale being a joke thief.
How Father Ted did not make that much of an impact on his career.
Why he has cut back on live work to focus on writing.
Why he moved from Ireland to London to Glasgow as a comedian.
How the live comedy circuit has changed since he started

AND MORE!

This podcast would be useful to anyone who is a fan of Father Ted or Michael that wants to know more about what goes on behind the scenes or a comedian looking to go full time / build a career in comedy.

EP62 - Post Edinburgh Fringe 2017 Analysis.

Wed, 14 Sep 2016 09:32:56 GMT

The Edinburgh Fringe is a fickle place and comedians (as well as all other types of performers) use everything at their disposal to stack the deck in their favour. From PRs to giant posters I got a panel of comedy industry experts together to discuss what works, what doesn't and bust myths about the Fringe.

The panel consisted of -

Steve Bennett (@stevechortle) - Founder of Chortle.com (@chortle), the Chortle awards and head reviewer at Chortle.
Bruce Dessau (@brucedes) - Founder of BeyondTheJoke.co.uk and head comedy reviewer at the London Evening Standard.
Copstick - head comedy reviewer at the Scotsman and on the judging panel for the Malcolm Hardee Awards.
John Fleming (@thejohnfleming) - Founder of the Malcolm Hardee Awards.
Hils Jago (@hilsjago) - Founder of the Amused Moose Comedy Club (@amusedmoose) and the Laugh Off Awards.
Barry Ferns (@barryferns) - Founder of Angel Comedy Club (@angelcomedy), the Barry Awards, Fringe veteran and comedian.
And me (Simon Caine - Comedian, writer, podcaster @thismademecool)

Here's a few highlights of what we talked about during the pod...

What are the reviewers links between the outside of Edinburgh circuit and Edinburgh?
Is it hard / impossible to get reviews on the Free Fringe?
Why were the reviewers “bored” at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe?
Is variety dead at the Fringe? Have the agendas / middle men / PRs and marketing efforts of some ruined creativity in Edinburgh?
Are PRs needed any more? Do they help get reviews?

AND MORE!

This podcast would be useful to anyone interested in doing a comedy show at the Edinburgh Fringe, progressing on the comedy circuit, how competition help your career even if you don't win and comedy fans after a behind the scenes look at the Fringe.

Do TV comedy shows help or hurt comedians?

My 2nd book is finally out! It's called "How To Make A Living By Working For Free" and you can buy it here for £5 (digital) or £8 (paperback). Here's the synopsis of the book -

The book is a how-to guide for artists to create their own online community for their work and how that community can support the artist to become sustainable in every way.

The book takes a critical and in-depth look at the media's perception of "free content" vs the reality of what the general public see it as.

If you're an artist in the modern age who wants a sustainable audience you're no longer just an artist, you're a community leader.

If you'd like to read the first few chapters of the book you can find a PDF version of that here.

EP45 - Adam Bloom

Sun, 13 Mar 2016 11:39:45 GMT

Adam Bloom has been performing stand up for 23 years. He's sold out Edinburgh Fringe runs, he's appeared on TV, he's written for other comedians and is a regular on the corporate circuit. He's done it all and in this podcast we attempt to get to the bottom of how you can do it all as well!

I got him on the podcast to talk about...

His thoughts on social media and how he uses it
How he sold out all of his Edinburgh Fringe runs.
Why he’s not been back to Edinburgh for over 5 years.
His thoughts on Free vs Paid Fringe.
How long did it take him to become a full time comedian and can what he did be done now?
Advice on getting and storming corporate gigs.
Why he actually likes corporate gigs more than clubs.
Can he make a living from the live circuit alone?
His opinions on TV panel shows and why he’s not on them any more.

AND MORE!

This podcast would be useful to anyone who wants to go full time as a performer and wants to know what the reality of that is like but also performers who want to get into other areas of the business such as writing for other acts or doing corporate gigs.
