Ask The Industry Podcast

INCOMING...here comes a little bit of cross-promotion.

Hello, Ask The Industry listeners....

I'll keep this brief. 

I've been working on another podcast for 3 years. It's taken me 2 years to learn how to edit to a skill level that means I can do this show and another year to create the first episode, why?

The show is where the guest comes on, leaves 15-20 questions, then a year later comes back on and answers them. I then edit it so they're talking to their past self. 

It's called The Audio Time Capsule. It's my best work in an audio medium by a country mile and I'm stupidly proud of it. I'd really love it if you could support my work by giving it a listen or subscribing.

Helen Stead is the director and founder of NCF Comedy which started back in 2009 at the Nottingham Comedy Festival. Since then NCF has grown and had 8 successful comedy festivals and runs shows in Nottingham, Birmingham, Leicester and throughout the midlands all year long.

We talked about how you process with NCF, the difference in audiences from place to place in the midlands and why she does no free comedy nights (even her new material one is £1 entry). This is a far cry from London where every open mic or new material night is free.

Milton Jones ( @TheMiltonJones ) is a one-liner powerhouse with a strong work ethic and an interesting approach to how he see's his on stage self as a cartoon rather than a comedian or a character. 

We talked about - 

• Is comedy still a stepping stone to “something else”?
• His frustrations with getting work commissioned on TV (or the lack of it).
• Did doing something a bit “different” / weird help him in his early career and has he benefitted from having promoters wanting “variety” How was his mental health while discovering his voice?
• How does he get useful feedback now that he’s well known?
• Why he enjoys dealing with hecklers and how he does that in character.
• How he deals with imposter syndrome.

AND MORE.

This podcast would be great for any comedians wanting to make a career as a comedian (one-liner or not) and how much work (and luck) it takes to happen. Alternatively it would be good for a fan of Milton's who wants to know the inner workings of his head both on and off stage.
