Eyre-Leigh Doors

Please come and see our live podcast recordings in Brighton on June 19th (guest Susan Murray) & 20th (guest Laura Lexx) We’re very excited to be part of Brighton Fringe. Tickets are selling fast, but numbers are restricted because Sweet Venues are doing everything to keep us all safe, so get your tickets EyreLeigh (geddit?) from https://sweetvenues.com/whats-on/eyre-leigh-doors 

Vix Leyton (@PRVix) is our guest this week. Damn hell, she's funny! She has partied with the stars, she has partied without the stars, she's partied alone and with friends. Mostly, she's partied. Hard. These are the finest of clangy-namedrops. What a joy...

Obviously, being Welsh, she talks of being dressed as a daffodil, as you do, but we also discuss un-atting people (catch up, Grandad!!!) friendship and fandom and ALL the celebrities she quite frankly owes apologies - and boy, it's quite the list!

Enjoy!

Andrew White (@standupAndrew) is our guest this week. He’s terribly young, terribly talented and terribly nice - don’t you hate people like that?? 

At 18, he was already an accomplished performer of several solo shows, and coped with the difficult dilemma of whether to accept a place at university or pursue comedy full-time - not an easy decision.  

His celebrity crush makes memorable appearance in this game, as does his comedy hero and his parents’ delightful (ahem) neighbour Joy.

He reminisces about his TITANIC struggle to keep a secret hookup secret, and this is the second mention on our podcast (see Stu Goldsmith episode) of that classic English career, being a jester. For our American listeners, there is, of course, a jester in every castle in every village in the whole of Englandland; they’re just an everyday feature of 21st Century life here!!

Just a small content warning - you may not want to be eating takeaway pizza while you listen to this one - unless you too have unsavoury habits with your dipping sauce. Saucy indeed…

Enjoy!

Ticket link for our Brighton Fringe shows are HERE . June 19th and 20th, 8.15pm featuring the incredible Laura Lexx and Susan Murray. We are so excited about being there.

Meanwhile, Simone Lahbib was an absolute joy to record with. 

Of course, you know her because you love Bad Girls, or Eastenders, or Downton Abbey or any other of her brilliant body of work.

Prepare to hear some behind-the-scenes stories from the British Indie Film scene, Eastenders-based chit-chat and the skinny on what the correct course of action is to do if you find an unseemly lump in your trousers. 

Simone slags off Dame Maggie Smith, reveals the worst way to deal with a crush on set and why she’s really pleased wearing a face mask means she can essentially go out in disguise. 

She also talks about her relationships with Danny Dyer, Robson Green and a device to help a lady do a standing up wee. 

We covered so much ground, including Scottish cuisine - a speciality called the Gazinty - her bitty little doggy, and the perils of chaperoning her daughter, child actor Skye Degruttola.

Hope you enjoy the show.

Leicester Comedy Festival Best Show Winner 2021, Esther Manito is one of the most exciting new acts on the circuit - and absolutely the best brows. She joins Pauline and Louise for a chat that ranges from the gobsmacking brutality of teachers in the Olden Days, to being mistaken for your Dad's wife, to some truly excellent parenting tips, and everything in between. Includes gagging with joy, blackmailing Lenny Kravitz, Tony Hancock, nativity play behaviour, Kate Moss and more.

You can find more about Esther on her website and watch her Edinburgh Debut, Crusade on Next Up TV.

#NotAllMen won best show at Leicester Comedy Festival 2021.  Look out for Esther’s brand new spanking hour #NotAllMen takes on a little feminist walk starting from the 90’s…..remember lad culture…that was fun time for all teens..

We knew when we booked Esther to do this show that we were going to have a brilliant time recording it, and we did. She absolutely sparkles. Her chat is frank and ferociously funny.

Louise Leigh and Pauline Eyre have an extended chat with Comedian and podcaster Stuart Goldsmith, host of the Comedian's Comedian's Podcast and extremely funny man. We cover a lot of ground: Street performing, spontaneity, parenting WhatsApp Groups, meeting your heroes, conversations you'd rather do differently and whether Boutros Boutros-Ghali's soul is travelling through time in different bodies. Funny, philosophical, moving. It's an absolute smasher.

Image of a Mindflayer, here's Storm Shadow, and you might enjoy John Robins and Anthony Livingspace who all get a mention. No need to introduce Tom Cruise, Noel Fielding and Lenny Henry.

What could be more romantic on your 9th wedding anniversary than locking yourself in a quiet room away from your husband and chatting to two other women on a podcast? Nothing, that's what.

In this one, Louise & Pauline meet Welsh comedian and writer Esyllt Sears (check out her Welsh Wikipedia page)

A cracking episode that covers all the bases from Eisteddfod to Ukelele-playing boxers in their boxers.

In which comedians Louise Leigh and Pauline Eyre meet comedian, actor and singer Sooz Kempner. We offer her the chance to meet her heroes - but will she take up the offers or gamble on something better coming along?

Featuring:

• Brad Pitt singing Chas'n'Dave
• borrowing stagewear from Freddie Mercury
• being Married at First Sight to a singer we didn't even know was Welsh
• Oscar-winning Reply Guys
• the extraordinary facial talent that makes Sooz a QUADRUPLE THREAT

Also featuring the sound of a dog destroying an entire A4 refill pad (no animals were harmed in the making of this podcast - however tempting it may have been...)

Recorded live on Zoom with www.funnywomen.com

If you do nothing else life-enriching today, check out Sooz on Twitter: www.twitter.com/soozuk and our instagram feed for pictures of Sooz's amazing talent (and maybe the odd one of the dog).

As promised, here's an image of Patty Hearst - no, wait, that's Sooz - Patty Hearst.
