Other Comedian's Views On My Podcast:
Trevor Lock the brilliant stand-up comedian, who has also starred in great shows such as This Morning With Richard Not Judy and The Russell Brand Show on BBC 6Music/Radio 2, said this about my Podcast:
"Good luck with your podcast, listened to the first bit of Episode Four - liked the Prince Charles adoption joke."
TV's Emma Kennedy the extremely talented actress and writer, off of shows such as Suburban Shootout, The Smoking Room, This Morning With Richard Not Judy, The Mark Steel Lectures and That Was Then This Is Now, said this about my podcast:
"I enjoyed listening to your podcast and think it shows a lot of promise. I think it's been very well put together so if that was you all on your own then you've done an excellent job. I really liked the section with the Queen and the sword - that was very funny. Some of the set pieces were over long - edible dvd for example - you should aim for each sketch to be no longer than 3 minutes - and to give it texture - throw in short under a minute sketches. Performance wise I think you came across as confident and capable. Vocally I think you could think about trying a wider range - some of your voices were a little similar. Overall I was very impressed. Do a few more and then edit together a best of and send it to some producers at radio 4."
