I'm here with Josh Jones. Hello. Over from Manchester. Yes. You're here for the Comedy Festival and how's your show been going? Yeah it's been going alright. It's been nice. It was quite, it's my first time here so we've had to, figuring out what doesn't work here as well,

as what was too local. I had a routine about carrots that didn't really work here. But I think it was more, it was, yeah, that was a bit weird. I've got a bit about football. Oh yeah. Yeah, yeah. That had not done it. And that doesn't work either. I don't think it will you just feel like the code no I ended up on a TV show in the UK talking about football and I have

no references a foot right so that seems like that should work it's a general idea but I need to talk about the players all the shit I mean do you know Gary Neville is I've heard of Gary Neville he's like like a commentator Oh, yeah, but he were a footballer finae it. Yeah. Yeah, and he like he's like He's sort of different to the others. Is he the guy who's like maybe less problematic than your average or so? Yeah, he's not too bad. Yeah, he actually is currently a judge and dragon not a judge a dragon on dragons dad Really? Yeah, so he's an investor he's a business investor now and people aren't getting these Dragon Den references told soccer players yeah well I've not mentioned that he's in

Dragon's Den on stage race because I only figured that out the other day when I saw him on Dragon's have you been saying shows while you've been here yeah I've seen a few but everyone I've seen I think is left Oh, yeah, and so I can recommend some stuff that I've seen. Have you ever seen down and Downton down and Abba. Oh, no, I recommend that. Oh, yeah Okay, I Recommend some British TV shows you might not have heard of. Yeah, sure. What else? Scott and Bailey Scott and Bailey. Yeah, sure. What else? Scott and Bailey. Scott and Bailey.

Yeah, it's two female detectives in Manchester solving crime and balancing family life. That was great. Have you been on? Have I been on it? Yeah. No, I would cry. I've seen the the actress, Saran Jones, who she's basically like a Meryl Streep. Oh, that's quite fair to say. She's the best actress in the UK. Well, one of what's her name?

Saran Jones. Saran Jones. Yeah, she's done many things. She started off in Coronation Street playing. I've seen her and things. Yeah, she's great. She's great. She's a cop in this. Yeah, she's a cop.

And yeah, so this is the kind of thing people come. What's your show here called again? It's like new order. Yeah, the annual show here We're three the best and actually you're you two cast mates are here with us. I know they just but They just sat away from the banks. I think they weren't yeah I don't yeah, I wanted to be involved in this in your hot tips at all involved in this in your hot tips at all. I thought we weren't meant to speak to be honest. Me too, that's what I thought. Or we're doing a good job of not stealing the limelight but the limelight's up for grabs, I'll have a bit. I mean, Josh, there's a rule that Josh said

that when he speaks the entire month we're not allowed to speak at the same time. Yeah, he said to us if someone asks me a question just let me and then I'll tell you when to speak. We're both having a terrible time. When we're backstage I actually make them face the other wall. Yeah. They're not allowed to look at me. Uh huh. I put, I wrap them up in a blanket and then shove them under the cupboard. But then it, but then you can be kind because sometimes they give us crumbs and stuff.

So, so it is a, it is a good, it is a good leader. The truth is I'm the only one here who's cooked for the others. Yeah. That is true. You are sharing accommodation. I am the nicest one. I'm the mother one here who's cooked for the others. Yeah That is true. You are sharing a combination. I am the nicest one. I'm the mother hen. Yeah Is there any competitiveness? With how you go in the show deal. Does it the order the running order change and stuff with that? No, I think it's been pretty consistent in terms of

If someone's had a good one chances are someone else had a good one Yeah, I think if what I find is that if we struggle, we struggle together. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. One of us has struggled. We've all struggled. And maybe someone's we've not died yet, though. We've all had to speak for ourselves. We've all had to know. Right. Well, it's been like as well, because in in the UK, we're at when we're doing festivals, we're doing hours every year.

We're doing 20 minutes each. We're on holiday. It's not hard work, is it? Yeah. So it doesn't matter. Are you working on new stuff? Yeah, because we've got to get our new shows together. So I have been doing a little bit of new while we've been here. Yeah. You got the name ready for Edinburgh yet? Yeah. Well, I actually wanted to call mine skids But then I was talked out of it. So now I'm gonna call it put a sock in it

Oh, yeah, cuz skids do you know what skids means? Oh, I know it means different things Yeah, skid marks. That's what it sounds like You can't call your show skid marks That's horrible Somehow you got gunked out of it Two weeks into the... You sure you're not being sabotaged? I thought it was just quite silly and I just thought well no one's gonna cut that out weed out all the people who are the fear ago as who want to be where anybody doesn't like thinking about shit believe everyone but I'm to call it put a sock in it.

That's that's classic title. Yeah. You know, yeah. You've just kind of come up with the title before you wrote the fucking thing. Yes. What have you got? You know, you. Yeah. Stomp. Stomp. Yeah. Yeah. What does that mean? No one knows. That's clever, right? Yeah, exactly.

Like, I think I really wanted to do something that summed up rather than the show like just what I'm like on stage yeah because then you could just be super vague with it yeah yeah yeah it's a great title it's really good that's what I've done that in the past I did three shows in a row that were called just versions of dry like pretty dry dry ginger male yeah bone dry yeah not yeah yeah that way cuz you gotta name them six months earlier or something and then did you get a bit more experimental on stage and just cut yourself my star like wet yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah that's the next

show actually yeah I hadn't thought of one yet, but that's pretty good. Yeah. Wet, wet, wet, soaping. Yeah. Soaping comedy. Yeah. Yeah, that's not bad. What about, yeah, I think, yeah.

I love titles. 1000 Litres of Laughter. Yeah, that's great. And Yours Is Our Ways, you've got. I like titles a lot. I think, I kind of think about them more than I think about the jokes of the show. So, this one is called, uh, Of All People. That's pretty good. I like that.

Pretty good! I like that. Thank you. That's fantastic. Thank you so much. No, I think... Look, I tend to understate things. That's the best name I've ever heard. I wanted to...state things. That's the best name I've ever heard. I wanted to.

Oh! Top three. Originally, I wanted to, but you have to find like a title that matches your vibe, right? Cause it's gotta be like Stomp. That's so good. But I originally wanted to call it,

Sorry to Name Drop, because it would be like Celia Abed and Sorry to Name Drop. That's fun. But it's not really my vibe It's not I could write for another vibe Yeah, so well people in in the UK should be look at see issues over there Obviously nearly all of UK goes to Edinburgh, right? Yeah No That does like double the Edinburgh population.

Yeah, but there's 70 million people. Every single person. There's people from all over the world that come. I'd never heard of the Edinburgh Fringe till I did stand up. That is quite... No, I think a lot of working class people haven't got a fucking clue about it. It's quite a class thing It's so expensive that like I live the people go a middle class

Yeah, you don't get as many working-class people unless they're from there and it's more more expensive You can go on to Benidorm for a week for the same price as going to Edinburgh for like three days Yeah, I should be really up selling it because we're doing shows there but I would I go better job I mean over it honestly very middle-class audience on this show I'm doing a run of shows in Venadorm what is Benadorm oh you don't know better job which is incredibly English Spain where oh yeah So yeah, I've all the English people go there and all a day there. You just get absolutely shit face. Yeah for a week Oh, that's funny that like like the new Ibiza or something. Yeah. Yeah, but it's more like it's it's a bit more like Cringy and camp but in a great way.

It's kind of funny that like the English stopped colonizing unless they go on holiday. Yeah. You really take over. Awesome. So the show for people listening in Melbourne anyway, what time is the show on here? It's 9pm at the powder room. At 8pm on Sundays. And we've got Mondays off. So if you want to hang out with us then,

we could go for a poke bowl. This works out well because I'm doing a split show as well with Saranjaya Manor and we're on at 7.15. So at the Grey Starling. So people can come to both of our shows in one night. People, yeah, exactly, working together. We can, I'll walk them all over to the show. I get them to sit exactly in the same way they sat at your show.

Yes, if it worked, otherwise we'll re-jig it for you. Yeah, our room is like a 500 seat. Yeah, same. 500 seater sold out. Oh okay, well yeah. I'm trying to lie and make it like some people buy tickets. They might have opened up a few more tickets Yeah, yeah last few yeah

Get on it now do not risk it Don't yeah to avoid disappointment Really and I think I'd love if you do go along to call out during Josh's set and say do the carrot bit Yeah, yeah, I will do it if someone does do that yeah great but yeah I need signal because I have to place them up from my phone so bring like like some kind of portable like yeah yeah bring Wi-Fi because there's no Wi-Fi in that building for me so yeah what are those boxes with Wi-Fi I don't know what they call it like a mo a mo mo mo Portable they widgets Like that yeah, yeah, yeah
