World Exclusive: The Comedy Special That Shouldn’t Work (Matt Price)

The Water Is Turning the Frogs Gay (And Other Things We Probably Shouldn't Have Said).

Scott and Pablo are back, and this week they've made a solemn vow: fewer swears, more sensitive listeners. That lasts about six minutes. Between debating whether "bollocks" counts if it was used in the Sex Pistols' defence at the Old Bailey, and coining the term "ring cheese" (don't ask — actually, do ask, it's brilliant), the lads somehow manage to make a new leaf feel entirely pointless. There's road rage from a deceased TV presenter, Arsenal fans menacing a man in a retro Spurs shirt, a Welsh rugby club regular with a very specific 10 o'clock ritual, and a front-row confession from a Jeremy Kyle alumnus that genuinely defies belief. The top five this week tackles heatwave nostalgia — Jubbly ice lollies, shirtless dads, Heinz Salad Cream, the invention of the beer garden (Tony Blair, obviously), and the great Fairy Liquid bottle water-fight arms race of the 1980s. Also: a pub goat in Devon, ring cheese (we had to mention it twice), and a live investigation into where Duncan Goodhew actually lives. Spoiler: it's not where you'd expect. It never is with this podcast. Absolutely none of this was planned. Who Remembers Spangles? is hosted by 'Comedy Buoys' promoter Paul Dunn (Pablo) and Lowestoft-born comedian Scott Adams. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

The Truth About Britannia Pier!

This week we're recording live from the dressing room of the iconic Britannia Pier in Great Yarmouth, and we've got a very special guest — Shea, the man behind the bookings at one of the UK's most beloved seaside venues. We chat about what it's like to programme a 1,300-seat pier theatre, the acts that refuse to die (think Jim Davidson, Roy Chubby Brown, Joe Pasquale and Mick Miller), and the shows that sold out with almost zero effort. Plus, Shea shares his best crowd disasters, a kebab-fuelled night out with Neil 'Razor' Ruddock, and why a certain Mancunian B&B owner ended up at a Morrissey gig by complete accident. We also get into K-pop, Kevin Bloody Wilson, the eternal question of bigger chairs, and whether Michael Barrymore could ever stage a comeback. Equal parts nostalgia, comedy industry chat and Great Yarmouth love letter — don't miss it.

World Exclusive: The Comedy Special That Shouldn’t Work (Matt Price)

World exclusive. We sat down with Matt Price to talk about a stand-up special that looks like it’s on the verge of collapse — bad lighting, chaotic crowd, and a man who probably shouldn’t be anywhere near the tech. And somehow… it works. See here.https://youtu.be/iiZnljvMpAc?si=bR8H_6n7IilsDlyB We get into chaos vs control, why polished specials might be missing the point, and whether this kind of comedy is actually closer to the real thing. Also — full disclosure — half this interview didn’t record. Which, given the subject matter, feels weirdly appropriate. It’s messy. It’s unpredictable. And it might be exactly what comedy needs right now. Who Remembers Spangles? is hosted by 'Comedy Buoys' promoter Paul Dunn (Pablo) and Lowestoft-born comedian Scott Adams. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

This week we’re diving into the moments where laughing will get you judged, cancelled, or quietly asked to leave. From real-life disasters to the kind of situations where you really shouldn’t laugh (but absolutely do), we count down our Top 5 inappropriate laughs. We also get into the rise of shows like Last One Laughing UK – why watching comedians try not to laugh is so addictive, and what it says about where comedy is heading. Plus: – Celebrities losing their heads (again) and why it keeps happening – The dramatisation around Huw Edwards and how media turns real-life into spectacle – And a surprisingly honest look at why British comedy might be falling behind Australia right now Scott and Pablo do their best to hold it together… with mixed results.
