Insane In The Men Brain

As seen on BBC’s Live at the Apollo, Spring Day is an American stand-up comedian, writer and actor in London. Spring’s uniquely acerbic and sassy style of comedy is always a crowd pleaser, or shocker... A fluent Japanese speaker and a mild cerebral palsy haver, Spring began her career headlining at the Tokyo Comedy Store whilst based in Japan. She has written, produced, directed and performed seven solo shows at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. She has also written for and appeared in BBC Three sitcom Jerk; performed on UKTV's Rosie Jones's Disability Extravaganza; and has written for BBC’s Horrible Histories, as well as, Audible’s first ever musical comedy—Crush Hour. Her latest show Spring Day: Exvangelical is about hour she joined and then escaped a Christian cult.

So you want a revolution do you? Well, before you run off and storm the gates of Parliament, have a listen to someone who has actually been involved in one and I'm telling you now, it's nothing like the Hollywood version you have rolling around in your head. Mustafa Algiyadi hails from Tripoli and it really was a wonderful opportunity to find out more about the place.

Mustafa is currently up at the Edinburgh Festival with his show Almost Legal Alien, tickets for which can be found here -

Steve joined Rich Wilson to talk about his new show "Shiny" that he is currently performing up at the Edinburgh Festival at 13:35 every day at Monkey Barrel The Tron, tickets for which can be found here-

Loss, death and grief have been recurring themes on Insane in The Men Brain but we've never actually talked about the fear of death itself which is also the theme to Alex's new show The Fear which he is currently performing every day at this year's Edinburgh, a link for which you can find below.

What a rollercoaster ride of a chat with @thestephenmullan!

Childhood heartbreak and budget therapy. Sensitive Stevo is mischievously trying to find love, while always finding trouble. In his brand new standup hour, Stephen Mullan debates the adversity of dating life as a single dad, all the while wondering if he is just too much of a rascal? Ireland's favourite scoundrel is guaranteed to make you howl with his silly yet cut-throat comedy. 'One of the strongest standup hours you will ever see!' (TheatreAndTonic.co.uk); 'Beautifully goofy and electric' (Jason Byrne); 'Seriously f*cking funny' (Joanne McNally).

And why is she so angry?! Oh. A regular on television, Sara's credits include Live at the Apollo (BBC Two), Would I Lie to You? (BBC One), and Richard Osman's House of Games (BBC Two). She is co-creator of the hit podcast FireCrotch and Normcore: They Like to Watch, which won a Silver Award at the 2023 British Podcasting Awards. Featured guests on the podcast include Daisy May Cooper, Russell T. Davies, Self-Esteem, Jesse Armstrong, and Charlie Brooker. Sara has appeared on The News Quiz, The Now Show, and Woman’s Hour (BBC Radio 4), and has published two essay collections with Random House, People Are Unappealing and The Harm in Asking. “Rendered gut-achingly speechless” ★★★★★ (Dave Esson, The Daily Express). “Beautifully crafted, no-nonsense stand-up… Highly recommended” ★★★★(Stephen Armstrong, The Sunday Times).
