S3 EP17: Stuart Laws
53:31|Today we welcome the multi-talented comedian and director Stuart Laws to the podcast for a chat about his passion for flipping beer mats, the confines of a performer's comedic uniform, and why many stand-up comics tend to look alike. Stuart explains how he's adapted his onstage persona since being diagnosed with Autism and how that discovery has helped him understand the emotions that neurodiverse audience members may be suppressing during his own shows. Stuart also explains how he likes to nurture upcoming talent through his production company 'Turtle Canyon Media' while weighing up the pros and cons of judging your own successes against that of your peers. This episode was recorded in Edinburgh during the Summer of 2024.All music written and performed in this podcast by Steve Otis GunnPlease buy my book 'You Shot My Dog and I Love You' available in all good book shops, online and directly.Podcast Socials:Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@tvtimespodInsta: https://www.instagram.com/tvtimespodYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@tvtimespodTwitter: https://twitter.com/tvtimespodSteve's Socials:Insta: https://www.instagram.com/steveotisgunnTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/steveotisgunnFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/steveotisgunn.antisocialStuart's Socials:Insta: https://www.instagram.com/stuartlawscomedyTwitter: https://x.com/thisstuartlawsFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/stuartlawscomedyYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@stuartlawscomedyTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stuartlawscomedyProduced by Steve Otis Gunn for Jilted Maggotwww.jiltedmaggot.com

42:35|Today we welcome British-Australian comedian, writer, and doctor Phil Hammond to the podcast for a chat about his career in TV, radio, and comedy. We discuss Phil’s numerous appearances on 'Have I Got News For You' and why Boris Johnson is not the bumbling idiot he makes himself out to be. Phil explains how he became the first-ever atheist presenter of a religious programme on the BBC, why he and Tony Gardner once used an ice cream van to topple a sitting MP, and how, whilst appearing on Countdown, Des Lynam pretended not to know what a boner was.All music written and performed in this podcast by Steve Otis GunnPlease buy my book 'You Shot My Dog and I Love You' available in all good book shops, online and directly.Podcast Socials:Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@tvtimespodInsta: https://www.instagram.com/tvtimespodYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@tvtimespodTwitter: https://twitter.com/tvtimespodSteve's Socials:Insta: https://www.instagram.com/steveotisgunnTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/steveotisgunnFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/steveotisgunn.antisocialPhil's Socials:Insta: https://www.instagram.com/phammond9Twitter: https://x.com/drphilhammondFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/drphilhammondHere's a link to 'Doctors and Nurses' starring Adrian Edmondson & David Mitchell:https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x758crsProduced by Steve Otis Gunn for Jilted Maggotwww.jiltedmaggot.comS3 EP14: Nick Schuller

58:28|Today we welcome Korean-Australian comedian Harry Jun to the podcast to chat about the Scottish obsession with deep fat frying and why he'd love to be a contestant on Masterchef, Gen Z's appropriation of our childhood treasures via the rise of retro cool, the bizarre Australian Kids TV Show 'Round the Twist' and why some Americans speak funny, whereby Harry introduces me to the phrase vocal fry. Harry then explains why most Australian comedians tend to know one other and why practical effects in film and TV create an emotional connection that CGI cannot compete with.I should add that when Harry asks if Rob Lowe was in Parks and Rec? I reply 'I don't think so' which is of course wrong.

41:55|Today we welcome Comedian and Cartoonist Paul Savage to the podcast for a chat about the ever changing life cycle of a comedy set, why putting too much pressure on an opening joke can ruin an act, and why comedians today might need to keep their day jobs. We discuss why actors and footballers aged differently in the '80s, how it was impossible to find a stumbled upon TV show after the fact before the internet, and why '90s sitcoms put so much emphasis on getting your shit together at an early age. This episode was recorded during the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August 2024, where Paul kept mislaying his stapler!All music written and performed in this podcast by Steve Otis GunnPlease buy my book 'You Shot My Dog and I Love You' available in all good book shops, online and directly.Podcast Socials:Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@tvtimespodInsta: https://www.instagram.com/tvtimespodYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@tvtimespodTwitter: https://twitter.com/tvtimespodSteve's Socials:Insta: https://www.instagram.com/steveotisgunnTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/steveotisgunnFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/steveotisgunn.antisocialPaul's Socials:Insta: https://www.instagram.com/savagecomics_/Twitter: https://x.com/comedysavageFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/paulsavagecomedyProduced by Steve Otis Gunn for Jilted Maggotwww.jiltedmaggot.comS3 EP11: Mark Dolan
57:06|Today on Television Times Comedian and Broadcaster Mark Dolan drops in for a long overdue chat, and yes we do talk briefly about his rather left field move into the choppy waters of political discourse, but mostly it's a chat about trendy glasses, crusty rolls and how 'Minder' was once filmed in his dad's pub. Mark explains how he tries to find life hacks wherever possible and how he dreams of opening a chain of cafes that sell three types of stew. We also discuss the joys of a cash and carry, Trump's unexpected election win, and how Mark once attempted a terrifying ski jump on Channel 4's 'The Jump' without being able to see a thing.All music written and performed in this podcast by Steve Otis GunnPlease buy my book 'You Shot My Dog and I Love You' available in all good book shops, online and directly.Podcast Socials:Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@tvtimespodInsta: https://www.instagram.com/tvtimespodYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@tvtimespodTwitter: https://twitter.com/tvtimespodSteve's Socials:Insta: https://www.instagram.com/steveotisgunnTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/steveotisgunnFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/steveotisgunn.antisocialMark's Socials:Insta: https://www.instagram.com/mrmarkdolanTwitter: https://x.com/mrmarkdolanFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/mrmarkdolanYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheMarkDolanWayProduced by Steve Otis Gunn for Jilted Maggotwww.jiltedmaggot.com
