Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by the very funny comic ROSCO McCLELLAND!A delicious ep featuring the Fringe star, who joins Pip for a really great chat on all things comedy, but by no means limited to... Tangents are the order of the day, and good god do we have 'em for ya. Covering a bunch of goodness from Dr Theatre, to stage persona, to plumbing, to the Fringe and the bucket speech, to his previous years in bands and how that served his stage time, getting the kickstart into comedy, Twitch and a TON in between, you're gonna have so much to enjoy in this one. Go in, enjoy yourself.PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting natureXFRINGEINSTAGRAMTWITCHSPEECH DEVELOPMENT WEBSTOREPIP TWITCH • (music stuff)PIP INSTAGRAMPIP TWITTERPIP PATREONPIP IMDBPOD BIBLE

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by the incredibly funny comic PHIL WANG!...a comic who, at time of podcast release, has a Netflix special VERY near on the horizon (if the horizon can be considered a near and far thing). This is a really fun chat bringing all the goodness you would wish for from someone who's been dominating stages for a good minute now, and a comic who's work you can enjoy on a bunch of different platforms. He's not on the Fringe circuit at this moment (and you can hear the freedom in his voice!), but the work is about to begin with the Netflix special promo... Anyway - all that aside - enjoy this naturally freeflowing conversation covering multiculturalism, the past riots, earnestness, repetition, Malaysian cuisine, gaming, (w)angst and all things process. Awesome stuff, enjoy!PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting natureWANG IN THERE BABY (set the reminder!)ONLINEINSTAGRAMPAST POST REF'D LATER!'HOW TO WRITE A POLITICAL POEM' by Taylor MaliSPEECH DEVELOPMENT WEBSTOREPIP TWITCH • (music stuff)PIP INSTAGRAMPIP TWITTERPIP PATREONPIP IMDBPOD BIBLE

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by the acting treasure who is currently starring in 'Death Of England: Michael' - it's THOMAS COOMBES!On that subject, you'll hear a lot about Death Of England in this ep as Thomas breaks down the prep and schedule of the whole thing (three individual plays, one of which he is the solo star) which sounds utterly gruelling... Aside from that, the whole project is a magnificent work and for sure deserves viewing and attendance. Otherwise, Thomas goes in on a ton of his other roles, including The Acolyte, Boiling Point and Baby Reindeer, as well as celebrating the goodness of Stephen Grahame when the chance arises. A great chat and definitely something for all, especially those of actorial interest.PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting natureDEATH OF ENGLANDINSTAGRAMIMDBXSPEECH DEVELOPMENT WEBSTOREPIP TWITCH • (music stuff)PIP INSTAGRAMPIP TWITTERPIP PATREONPIP IMDBPOD BIBLE

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by podcast pal and Hardcore Listing homie STU WHIFFEN to celebrate the life of one of the most unconventional but most memorable soundpeople in the game, who sadly passed on in the middle of this year - SOUNDMAN JIM!You'll notice that there are exclamation marks still present there on the intro words. Well, to anyone who was fortunate enough to cross paths with Jim, you'd know that while his absence is incredibly sad and is mourned in full, his presence in life was one to truly enjoy and always brought light and laughter to those around to absorb it. In this episode, you'll hear a nice few anecdotes about Pip and Stu's experiences working and socialising with the legendary human, and while this isn't someone who is a celebrity, famous, or a name that everyone will recognise, it's a really lovely chance to be let in on a side of life that you might not otherwise see. I'm sure we all have some kind of iteration of a Jim in our lives, whoever that may be for you, so you might relate and really enjoy hearing about the man, but if not, feel free to join in on hearing about someone who genuinely meant a lot to many people and was such a big part in a lot of folks careers - including the old Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip days!

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by charming and very funny comic PAUL FOOT!A very cool gathering of Pip and Paul, celebrating all things fun and funny in an interesting perspective of glancing through the prism of it all. It's a lovely addition to the Paul lover's collection but as always on here, a great primer for those yet uninitiated. Among the topical birdsnest you can expect chat incoporating the old chestnut of London travel zones (of particular interest to anyone living outside of London), living in a 'Shire, the art of the featured crowd member, starting out in comedy, mental health, doing time up at the Edinburgh Fringe and embodiment - and perhaps even a hint of over-embodiment? You be the judge! A lovely fireside chat vibe, you'll love it.PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting natureDISSOLVE - new showPAUL FOOT ONLINEINSTAGRAMXMELBOURNE COMEDY FESTSPEECH DEVELOPMENT WEBSTOREPIP TWITCH • (music stuff)PIP INSTAGRAMPIP TWITTERPIP PATREONPIP IMDBPOD BIBLE

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by fabulous writer, comic and podcaster SOPHIE DUKER!Right from jump, this episode vetures into the good stuff - just assume the warm up pleasantries were taken care of before the recording started, as this comes in hot! An excellent episode with Pip and Sophie untangling a ton of the world's weirdness and ugliness but somehow finding some beauty in amongs the wreckage. It can feel imposible at times but hopefully you'll also find some silver linings with this great chat. A ton of ground covered, and don't forget that you can catch up with Sophie up at the Edinburgh Fringe (dates below) in August for a healthy dose of the good stuff in the 'But Daddy I Love Her' show.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by the brilliant comic, writer, actor and author ROB DELANEY!Rob's presence was really made clear back in the glory days of the innocent social media platform Twitter, when such activities felt more playful and fun, and podcasting was still formulating and developing. Since then he's truly made it obvious why such a presence is necessary, as a wearer of many hats in the comic-leaning section of the greater media world. You'll hear about Rob's more recent projects, including his character development in Deadpool & Wolverine, his book where he writes openly about dearly departed son Henry, social media, the NHS, politics (where do you start) and so much more - a delicate balance of fun and moving which will really enrich your listening day.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip chats acting in THE ACOLYTE and HOUSE OF THE DRAGON, acompanied by Hardcore Listing homie CHRIS GLASSON!It might have been tricky for Pip to interview himself to talk about recent acting roles in two of the biggest franchises in media history (Star Wars and Game Of Thrones EVER HEARD OF THEM), so he has enlisted the help of fellow podcasting pal and general pal Chris from Hardcore Listing to do the honours. It's a great little chat from a side of the curtain we don't always get to see behind, and definitely a couple of roles worth stopping to observe and celebrate. Enjoy this awesome conversation about how the whole thing went down, progressed and wrapped up. ENJOY!

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined once more by acting pal and all round beam of light STEVEN OGG!A repeat showing from friend of the show and acting / performing heavyweight Steven, who always brings forth a tide of positivity and inspiration on the show. A very fun and cosy gathering as he and Pip get to chatting about acting, the sciences behind the whole thing in all degrees of detail, his new book of poetry 'Catharse-Is', collaborating and performance and getting together to create in the same room, accents, death, and what sounds like an escape room in the studio they're recording in. All good stuff, and a ton for you to enjoy be you long term fan of Steven or newcomer to the party.PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting natureCATHARSE-IS (book)IMDBINSTAGRAMALL LINKSPIPSTARTER for AREA OF OUTSTANDING NATURAL BEAUTYSPEECH DEVELOPMENT WEBSTOREPIP TWITCH • (music stuff)PIP INSTAGRAMPIP TWITTERPIP PATREONPIP IMDBPOD BIBLE
